Zardari – Don’t blame ME for my effed-up country!

How else can you break down the “don’t push me against a wall” statement Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari made to India?

Yes, militants have the power to start a war in the region – the same militants trained, financed, indoctrinated and directed by your own country’s Inter-Services Intelligence. And, what have you been doing about it since replacing Musharraf?

One former Indian official is already calling bullshit:
“It’s part of the usual blackmail of the United States that Pakistan does to take more interest in India-Pakistan issues,” said B. Raman, a former head of Indian intelligence agency RAW.

“They think this kind of argument will make the United States sit up and take notice of their sensitivities and do something about it.”

Of course, since we have in the past used Pakistan like a douche and then thrown it away – and well before the Soviet-Afghan war – you can’t blame Pakistan for trying the pandering route.
