Why does MUSHARRAF want to bite the hand that feeds him?

Question

Pakistan was let off debts of millions $s by the USA soon after the 9/11. This was assumed to be for co-operation with the USA in looking for the terrorists involved.
Now MUSHARRAF acuses the USA of threats to bomb it.
The Pakistan intelligence service was mentioned at the trial of the latest batch of terrorists in London.
The world is aware that terrorist camps in Pakistan are busy training hundreds to cause havoc around the world.
Kashmir, India, UK and USA have already been victims.
What will it take for the world to unite to clear this evil?

Millions of Hindus are killed by the terrorists backed by the ISI in Kashmir. If Pakistan is so wonderful and you admire the leader so much why do you not move to that godless country.

Answer 1

This is called real politics.
Do you think Musharraf will successfull?
He will be no where soon, just look at behind, the Pakistani military rullers.

Answer 2

Perhaps he wants to live a little longer than bush's administration as Musharraf's people are very sympathetic to the Taliban. To the Arab on the street leaders that work with us are imperialist stooges and are considered traitors. So from his point of view there is no downside to saying he was forced to work with us besides knowing this administration it's probably true.

Answer 3

Because Musharraf has been hired by tghe some of the big anti social men and against them he can never hear even a single word even from his family and friends relatin too so he bites those who love him and feed him because he is hered and he can never be turned out its confirm and fact and in this issue he can be a big cause of looser of the country

Answer 4

The Iraq war is one of the greatest mistakes of all time. The situation in Afghanistan is in deep trouble. The world is not a safer place after Bush's mid-east meddling.

Maybe it was time USA stopped trying to bully the rest of the world. Then the terrorist problem would be reduced.

Answer 5

Bite the hand that feeds. . .

The man has every right to state something, especially if it is true. And let's look at everything. If it isn't true, why make the statement to anger "people" in the US government? And I don't think that the US will do anything about it. If they suddenly reinstated the money owed, it would look very fishy to me.

I think it really did happen, and now Bush is throwing it down at Colin Powell's feet. Bush is really a piece of work, isn't he? Can't take the blame for anything. I think things are beginning to unravel for him and his goons.

Answer 6

I love these questions. Either you really don't know jack about Pakistan or you want to say deliberately irksome and objectionable things that suggest ignorance. Kashmir has been victim of what? INDIA that's who. The majority of human rights violations in the disputed territory of Kashmir have actually been carried out on the Indian side not the Pakistan side. It is only in the last 18 months or so, thanks to dogged determination by Musharraf and others on the Pakistan side in the main, that talks have got back underway and the borders in Kashmir have been relaxed. Kashmiris need the right of self-determination, where they can vote to decide whether they want to be part of Pakistan, or India or go it alone and the majority on the Pakistan side recognise this.

Pakistan's economy is actually thriving, they don't need to rely on the US with their bully boy carrot and stick approach to helping countries - i.e. "you help us and we'll give you a crumb from our table".

Pakistan is a good model of a modern muslim country working within Pakistan to promote opportunity and advancement (the programmes to improve literacy and numeracy, in particular targeting young women are applaudable, as are their targets to increase women's involvement and participation in politics), and their willingness to engage in a positive way on the international stage should also be welcomed. Poor old Musharraf has had so many assassination attempts on his life because of his modernist views and because of his determination to bring in the right checks and balances to ensure consensus politics, and then you go and doubt him too. He can't win can he?

Thanks to previous jobs I've had, I had the opportunity to meet him once and to listen to him speak of his vision for Pakistan - would that there were more leaders with his drive, dedication, determination and vision leading countries in the developing world.

ADDED - in response to your further comments (directed at me). why don't you get your facts straight before talking out of your bottom? Contact a few human rights organisations and ask them about the statistics for human rights violations coming out of Indian controlled Kashmir . Ask them how easy or difficult it has been for them to be allowed to enter that side of Kashmir, and in particular to approach the line of control with Pakistan. Also, I'm extremely happy in Britain thank you. What I said if you read the above properly is that Musharraf has a strong vision for a DEVELOPING country. I never said the country was perfect - but its moving in the right direction. India and Pakistan have a long history of taking issue with each other about anything and everything. It's a shame because neither is perfect and if they worked together more it would be so beneficial to the region as a whole. But India have refused to accept their human rights violations in Kashmir for years and media reports on the region foster an anti Pakistan approachn - a lot of Indians don't know what's really happening in Kashmir. You talk of all the Hindus Pakistan have killed, you show your complete lack of knowledge of the region - there are more Muslims in India than in Pakistan. I think you should try to find out more about the region before you pass more comment.

One final thing in case you're wondering. I'm British, white and a member of the Church of England. I have just read, listened and learnt and in fact still probably had room to forget more than you know about this matter.

Answer 7

I was shocked to hear him come forward and say this too. I dont know what his motivation could be- but he and the leader of Afganistan can answer those questions when they meet in the US in a few days.

Answer 8

Bite the hand that feeds him...yo man,thats even stronger than the bomb threat statement. I luv US foreign policy!

Answer 9

where is the proof you have that we didn't threaten them. bush's response said he was taken aback, but he didn't deny it and armitage simply questioned the wording and said his statement 'was strong'.

just because we let someone out of debt doesn't mean we own them: that would be contradictory. stop trying to justify every rotten thing our government does.

Answer 10

maybe because he thinks that starving to death is better than having one's head separated from one's body.
