US Seeking Exit From Afghanistan Sep 10, 2002 Source: Balochistan Post Former ISI Chief Lt Gen (retd) Hamid Gul Monday said that the US is seeking exit from Afghanistan and would make Pakistan a scapegoat, holding it responsible for its failure in war against Taliban and al-Qaeda. He said that the prevailing circumstances hint that Pakistan may be the next target of the US attack. "Since fall of Kabul, the US has faced over 600 casualties in Afghanistan and will blame the ISI for not providing correct information," he said while speaking on 'President Gen Musharraf's US Visit'_a lecture series organised by The Nation and Nawa-i-Waqt at Hameed Nizami Hall. His emphasis was on the US role in the world and Afghanistan issue. To a question, he said he was not forming any political party saying 'I don't want to indulge myself in this filth'. The President's US visit, he said, would be a defining moment for Pakistan, as was September 11 for the US. He held the Jewish lobby responsible for the September 11 terror attacks on US. The people have the right to ask why President Musharraf had helped destroying Afghanistan, he said, rejecting, government claims of getting monetary benefits on supporting the world coalition against terrorism. He emphasised the national unity to counter the US vicious designs and bring -prosperity and progress in the country. If once, the US emphasises self-determination right for Kashmiris in UN General Assembly, Kashmir issue will be resolved once for all, he said. However, he said, the present military government had taken a step back from its traditional stand on the long-standing issue by creating hurdles for Mujahideen. He said the world scenario has changed. Palestinians are fighting with the military of Israel, Mujahideen are fighting with Indian army in Held Kashmir and only 200-al-Qaeda activists have made US citizens psycho, he pointed out. Jehad has changed the balance of power, he further said. The US citizens are even losing their democratic rights and civil liberties, he further pointed out, adding, Taliban-al-Qaeda activists have been detained in Cuba to avoid legal conduct and criticism on human rights violation. The US policy making is in the control of Israelis and US citizens are convinced that not the Muslims but the Jews are behind the September 11 incidents. "Jews are hatching conspiracies against Pakistan due to its nuclear power and its people's spirit for Jehad". Under Article 3 of the UN Charter, he said the people have the right to fight for self-determination. He was of the view that during his visit to the US, the President would be asked to let the US forces enter into Pakistan territory for operation against al-Qaeda suspects, some commitment on Kashmir issue and further action against 'militants'. However, there is possibility that details of the commitments are not made public, he said and added Israel is afraid of Pakistan's nuclear capability. He predicted that the Jews conspiracies may be the main issue in the next US elections. Pakistan's nuclear capability, army's strength, national solidarity and Kashmir issues are the US targets, he claimed. He was also of the view that the Constitutional amendments are being imposed under pressure from the IMF and the World Bank for continuity in the Gen Pervez Musharraf's regime. "We should make the Parliament strong instead of the offices of the prime minister and president", he said, rejecting National Security Council concept of Gen Musharraf. The NSC headed by prime minister should be an administrative body under the supremacy of the Parliament and deal with security issues only for the coordination among Interior Ministry, intelligence agencies and foreign office, he said, adding, experience of the NSC in Turkey has already failed. "The military leadership commits mistakes when it becomes political". Instead of getting rid of Gen Musharraf, he suggested, the General must be brought on track and be taught to have confidence in masses. Hamid Gul conceded that the US was playing up news that Gen Musharraf's life was under threat from militants. He maintained that Indian forces deployment on Pakistani borders was planned to create reason for Indo-Pak war. He turned down comment on his plan of the unity of religious parties and said that the religious parties have maturely behaved after Afghanistan issue and are in the election run. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
