The Daily Pakistanpolitics Dec24-28, 2009

• Dec28-2009--while zardaris close associates playup suggestions that they are pro secession zardari rejects bangladesh and iraq/lebanon type scenarios for pakistan...however many suggest that the PPP is pushing pakistan towards a zimbabwe/nepal like scenario where soon its currency maybe little more than worthless paper and electricity/gas shortages might become worse and unending... zardari plays both sides of teh coin rejecting secession but suggesting that there will be noone after us to defend pakistan...death is an inevitability and he says they will continue to die......pakistan has proved its viability and individuals while important are not required to stand up for it...many suggest that politics aside it is important to improve the lot of teh people which is an abiding necessity in a country increasingly controlled by teh rich for their own ends....institutions have to exist and acquire importance for them tobe in conflict...saying that there is no conflict between institutions but his destination is another jail where he will be sent by ambulance...might be seen in the light of teh army chiefs orders to make the garrison to CMH road in rawalpindi a fast paced road...?methinks qurbanis are not required but it might be essential to quickly move to find the killers of Benazir who the PPP is now saying was killed by a huge conspiracy which might have started in london and ended in an associate suggesting that she stand up in teh vehicle to wave to her supporters...?
  
• Dec27-2009--there are many who now think that teh mukti bahini was just a minor taleban like movement even though it managed to seperate pakistan in two..while zardari says that no new mujiburrehmans will be allowed he gives potential seperatists top positions in sindh and at teh center...teh docile PPP has of late been threatening to kill in retaliation if the current political system meaning Asif Zardari is ended..while raja riaz said that the next political murders will be from the punjab?...others are suggesting that nawaz sharif learn the meanings of magnanimity and political discusssion from his brother who did not break off relations and discussions despite teh anti punjab nature of teh NFC issue...many suggest that teh NFC discussions revealed that teh country is not very dissimilar in thought as provinces refused to use brinkmanship to topple the ugly political cart for a few provincial bucks...a sindhi politician says that teh east pakistan imbroglio was just a minor political difference while imran khan thinks that the taleban and mukti bahini should not be suppressed...there may be a need many say to constitutionalize the meanings of secesssion/terrorism and define secessionist movements and what teh state should do to tackle them that is apart from article 6...meaning that if teh state wants to go to war with a province or militarily armed/threatening movement than there should be a parliamentary process and it not be left to the army chief alone...if pakistan thinks it is democratic than it should be doing its thinking and decision making in parliament rather than on teh street or at home and war or wars should not be left to the urgings of teh USA or a few dumb political and military leaders...

• Dec24-2009--Holbrooke says that what happens in pakistan does not affect the US...suggesting that the melodramatic NRO drama includes teh pakistani political cults, SC, kayani, PMLn and PPP..many say it displays teh crude PPP attitude which took shelter under it and now says that it does not matter...many suggest that the NRO came about under a kayani brokered deal and helped teh PPP smoothe anti PPP attitudes...many suggest that it has also killed the kayani mandate which also included Benazir or did it...?...The PPP generally seems to hit the people in the stomach and than says it is solving problems...PPP unable to understand teh peoples economic needs and only dabbling in political problems that hardly effect the people anymore...who cares now if a PPP official running around as a dummy primeminister is torpedoed by a 58-2b or there is a 1973 constitution or not if the people cant do anything about electricity, wheat,gas, petrol rates...?The 1973 constitution to the PPP only means that there is a sindh a punjab and nwfp...and an NFC issue, a water issue and a balochistan isue...such politics and governance hardly matters if the people are going to suffer continually under the cruel mean nasty people that benazir has left behind to torture us...
