Return of Rambo
He has proclaimed the Swiss courts haven't any proof of money laundering. Why so much fuss concerning the NRO?
I'd no intend to weigh your readers down with events of history. My hand (actually finger, tapping about the laptop) continues to be forced by the return of Rambo, the puffy-faced commando who now seeks our forgiveness and wants us to consider him back. Either our rulers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], past and present, consider Pakistanis idiots,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or they are idiots. It's not a riddle that defies an answer. We already have it. Still,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for the sake of clinical analysis, sober reflection and veracity of facts, I would like my readers to travel back in a period capsule to relive the past 15 years or more.
I really hope to fill this space with stories (real ones) of how Benazir Bhutto, Asif Zardari; Nawaz Sharif and Gen (r ) Musharraf, each in their own ways as well as in varying degrees,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], allowed corruption, nepotism,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], favouritism, cronyism and mediocrity to show governance right into a giant septic tank whose stink today has reached the high heavens. Each one of these protagonists of democracy and 'servants of awam' are responsible for collectively causing irreparable harm to the economy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], development, parliament,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], judiciary, executive, civil service and foreign policy of the nation.
When the sceptics look for a slight exaggeration above or excess in the critique of these rulers, they should step out of their ivory towers on to the streets of Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Quetta and Islamabad to determine how low politics has descended and just how high poverty/inflation/misery has spiralled. Some among you may yawn and wonder why go back into the seeds of your time? Why seek out yesteryear? The quick answer: Pakistan is probably the only real country that recycles rulers who instead of being trashed keep a comeback.
Let's then call our recycled rulers the 'Comeback Kids' or 'CBK' for short. Based on Wiktionary, CBK means: A person who repeatedly demonstrates the propensity to beat downturns or periods of bad publicity,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and rebounds to victory or popularity.
Kitchen cabinet is one passion all of the four share. The main 'chef,' based on common folklore, was Tariq Aziz during Musharraf's rule. I am not so sure. Was he truly the brains behind the hideous NRO? I believe the NRO had its birth in another continent with President George W,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his veep Cheney and secretary of state Condi as the impregnators of the plan. Tariq Aziz,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Gen Kayani (then your ISI chief), Gen (retd) Mahmud Durrani our ambassador in Washington were the three 'wise men' from the East who have been present during the immaculate conception and brought the 'NRO baby' back to Musharraf.
Having rid himself of the 'meddlesome' high priest of law and his band of honest judges in the Top court, Musharraf was on the high road hoping to rule Pakistan till kingdom come. But fate had other plans for him. Just when he and his party animals were getting ready to dance away 2007 with balloons,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fire crackers and champagne,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Benazir Bhutto was killed in a flash. She left this world stunned and all sobbing openly in the streets of Pakistan. Many blame Musharraf on her death. Did the general really plan her assassination? Before we rush to judgment, there is a small item that must definitely be made public right away.
If Tariq Aziz was indeed the chief of Musharraf's kitchen cabinet, and if Musharraf was in some way associated with the assassination plot,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], should Tariq Aziz not have access to experienced the Presidency once the news of BB's death arrived? Where was Tariq Aziz about the eve of December 27? He was at his watering hole playing bridge. When the TV flashed the news,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Aziz along with others sat silently consuming the details of what had happened.
Musharraf and wife started life in the presidency way back in 1999 as ordinary people. They had little money or property; no ambitions. They were nice people. And son Bilal Musharraf had no lofty dreams of hitting it big time. So what went wrong? The great life and happy times reached the three. In the risk of repeating myself, I must reproduce a paragraph I wrote some weeks back. Here's what I said: "Soon after Musharraf had become the president, he visited China with an official visit. It had been cold. According to someone not far from him, the couple didn't have extra dollars to buy themselves thermal vests. They shivered until someone within the entourage lent them $300 to visit get themselves woolies. Which was the winter of 1999. 'The suits he wore throughout the trip were atrocious,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cheap material and badly stitched.' Soon Mr Mrs Musharraf's wardrobes underwent a lot change. Donning Armani suits and matching ties with imported leather shoes had become the dictator's hallmark. When the Iraqi president Saddam Hussain offered oil to Pakistan at throwaway prices, Musharraf declined. Why? The Americans had gotten wind of it waving green backs at him that proved too tempting to face up to. Some went in to the Pakistani treasury; some allegedly into his banking account abroad."
The person who related the above incident used to be a great admirer of Musharraf's as were a lot of us. But it didn't take very long for him and us being disillusioned. Unfortunately,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we'll never discover the scope of the general's malevolent rule because not many in Pakistan are willing to come forward with information. Especially from the army that Musharraf presided over for nine years since it's chief. All one gets are scraps because the above which I've reproduced. The GHQ is much like the secretive Freemasons Club or even the Yale University's Skull and Bones Club which has among its elite members Bush and John Kerry, and many others considered the strongest men of the 20th century. Each one is sworn to secrecy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sitting behind walls of silence, such as the inner sanctum from the Rawalpindi brass!
One person allowed entry into GHQ and given interviews may be the younger brother from the late army chief Asif Nawaz. Journalist Shuja Nawaz spent 3 decades writing the history of Pakistan army. Inside a column in Foreign Policy magazine,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Shuja Nawaz writes: "Recent conversations with officers at different ranks and including many senior generals about Musharraf's standing indicate clearly they resent the things they call Musharraf's get off professionalism of the army and infusion of the army into civilian jobs. They are attempting to restore that inner core of the army's professionalism now and would resist being drawn in to the political fray by Musharraf's return. The majority of Musharraf's favourite generals are no longer in key positions inside the army. Some of them have been superseded within the recent promotions as General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], chosen by Musharraf to achieve success himself, puts his own stamp about the upper echelons of the army and on the institution in general."
Needed then are whistle blowers among retired generals who served with Musharraf and saw him change from an honest, average army officer in to the Armani-wearing, fist-clenching, now dollar-doling man nowadays. Unless someone squeals the reality, it's unfair to heap all blame on only one man for exactly what went wrong from 1999 - 2008.
