A letter from the Pakistani Defense Ministry today to the Supreme Court admits that the government has lost all control over the operations of both the Army and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency.
The letter was issued in relation to the coup memo, in which Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari is said to have sought US military aid in ousting the Pakistani military leadership, promising to replace them with more pro-US officials.
Pakistan’s military says the letter, which was confirmed delivered to Admiral Michael Mullen, is authentic, and they insist it is an effort to undermine morale in the military and drive a wedge between the public and the Army.
The Defense Ministry had been sought to comment on the dispute, but is attempting to beg off with the statement, saying they don’t have any power over the military at any rate. The civilian government has insisted the memo is a forgery by some unseen force aimed at creating a scandal.
Interesting… Interesting… Is the top down to the people movement spreading ……. Here in what is left of America, our glorious congress has decided that no judges will be able to review ANY detentions by the military….. Two hundred years of constitutional government…… swept aside once again because of….?????
Another interesting thing…. Pakistan (under U.S. influence…???) has adopted a "tax the poor" policy. This no doubt does not endear the "people" to the coalition/empire of death and their friends who target 16 year old boys and take their 12 year old friend along on to their martyred beyond… Beneath the killings boils a deadly class war, between the landlords who took over the OWNERSHIP of the land from the British colonial administration. What this is and has always been since the 19 century British invasion of the area, is a system of impoverished tenant farmers and wealthy landlords… See if you can guess which side the U.S./NATO empire sides with…???? Needless to say, the American Neocon sympathies are in the wrong side of history, and their enemies, the ones THEY call the Taliban…. are making very efficient use of empire's elitist tilt… When the INVADERS start targeting and killing local children like twelve and sixteen year old boys on motorbikes… How long will it be before the people there sweep them and their corrupted lackeys into the dustbin of history…!!!
No Govt Control Over Army Operations? Which government would that be? Most certainly not the US government, they've got full control awright.
