Pakistan, America and President Barack Hussein Obama.!
Dear Mr. President Barack Hussein Obama,
Greetings.
Media has reported on 24 January, 2016 a statement attributed to you, quoted as below:
Quote. “Pakistan can and must do more to dismantle terrorist networks” Unquote.
Sir, your priceless words of wisdom for your non-NATO ally, are very well appreciated and are on our head and eyes.
Hope, you will also appreciate that your non-NATO ally, which played it’s more than due part, in making your great country a sole super power, was ditched (after becoming the sole super power) by your country, to live and sort out with all those people or Hydras (Hydra story add a regeneration feature to the monster: for every head chopped off, the Hydra would regrow one or multiple heads), who were created, raised and armed by your country, (this fact is on record to have been openly admitted by Ms Hillary Clinton) to defeat the invading forces of the USSR in Afghanistan.
Mr. President, you will also appreciate that in the 9/11 episode, no Pakistani was involved; and if your agencies had been vigilant enough in the first place, the twin towers and Pentagon, would never have been attacked.
Sir, you will also appreciate that your non-NATO ally, whole heartedly participated in your Afghanistan war, along with around 50 other countries.
However, it is a different story that Pakistan suffered more than 10 times more men and material losses (and still continues to suffer) than the combined losses of all the about 50 countries, which took part in your chosen Afghanistan war. And quite surprisingly, you still expect from us to do more.
On the the other side, no one from the West, even offered support to Pakistan, for righting-off of its foreign loans, or allowing without any preconditions, Pakistani products for sale, in their own markets.
Sir, during your Afghan war, you visited Afghanistan more than once.
However, you decided never to visit Pakistan, which was your so much staunch non-NATO ally that it didn’t even charge a single penny, from the USA, for use of Pakistani air space. Whereas, your country offered $20 billion to Turkey, for use of its airspace, during the Iraq war.
Sir, we the nation of Pakistan, are still fighting the full might of Hydra, which is not even sparing our school kids and young students, for being your non-NATO ally.
Although, most of the NATO countries have left Afghanistan yet, for Pakistan, the 15 years war against terror, is continuing unabatedly.
Sir, under the circumstances, how much prudent and appropriate it would have been for you, to repay the services of your most staunch friend (since, Korean war and CENTO/SEATO era), which was blown to smithereens, during your imposed Afghan war, by asking the Afghanistan’s government to DO MORE and to hand over to Pakistan, the terrorist master minds taking refuge in Afghanistan, where some US forces are still present.
Moreover, even more appropriate action from you, would have been to demand from India, to immediately stop acts of terrorism against your most friendly and ally country (whose soldier gave ultimate sacrifice to save the lives of American soldiers captured by the rebels in Somalian city of Mogadishu) through India’s old policy of sponsoring mercenaries to destabilise Pakistan; which doesn’t need any proof.
Because firstly, Indian PM Mr. Narendra Modi, himself, proudly admitted Indian role in the dismemberment of Pakistan; and secondly, its National Security Advisor Mr. Ajit Doval, openly confessed sponsoring TTP mercenaries in Pakistan, for defensive offensive operations.
Sir, just to refresh the memory, it is hoped that America will never forget the following acts of Pakistan, which no other country has done, as a friend of the United States:
- Allowed U-2 planes to use our airspace and airport for flights over the USSR.
- Allowed U-2 planes to use our airspace and airport in East Pakistan, for flights over China.
- Pakistani efforts in bringing your country closer to China.
- Pakistani security forces risked their lives to save the lives of Americans, in the burning US embassy in Islamabad.
Sir, we Pakistanis, who have put our survival and lives at stake, more than once, to honour the needs of friendship with your great country, are still looking forward, to warmly receive you and your family, as our most revered guests.
Best Regards,
Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

Pakistan presents danger to entire world: NYT editorial..
Yes, Pakistan presents danger to the entire world, because it nuked Japan not once but twice, invaded Korea & Vietnam, then invaded Iraq on WMD lies & ONLY killed one million Iraqis; and finally invaded Afghanistan during this period also killed innocent kids, women and men going on funeral processions with illegal (as per UN reports) drone attacks.

Whither the American promise?
Dear Mr. Prime Minister,
AoA.
Sir,
At the outset I will say bon voyage on your short visit to the United States.
In this connection, you are requested to remind the American president about their unfulfilled promise with Pakistan, made in the year 2002, that PIA will be allowed to fly its planes directly to America from Pakistan, when we were lured to purchase their Boeing 777 twin engine expensive aircrafts, instead of the cheaper four engined Airbus 340 planes.
Here the Americans should also be reminded that PIA was the first airline in the world to fly Boeing 777 planes.
As such, it was high time that the Americans must now honour their old commitment, made with their most steadfast friend, whose contributions in this mutual relationship has been much more than American help and assistance to Pakistan, if seen in the true historical perspective, as detailed below:
– Looked after U.S. needs and helped as a friend e.g. in Korean war era, under various pacts.
– Allowed overflights of American U2 planes to spy over USSR.
– Connected USA with China.
– Brought down USSR in Afghanistan war in 80s.
– Saved scores of American soldiers from being lynched by Somalian war lords.
– Saved US staff from burning Islamabad Embassy.
– Made America a single super power,
– Still fighting so called American war on terror imposed on this region, that too because of sheer incompetence of US intelligence agencies, in stopping 9/11 attacks in the first instance.
With best wishes and kind regards,
Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad
Modi government moving fast India & Pakistan towards an armegaddon..!
After the recent arrest by the Pakistani authorities of an Indian national RAW agent (who is actually a Hindu and Indian NAVY intelligence officer infiltrated in Pakistan as a disguised Muslim), the following two things are clear as daylight:
i. India is hell bent on dismemberment of Pakistan; and all its so called peace overtures, are just a ploy to gain time, for its nefarious designs to (God forbid) succeed.
ii. All so called attacks on the Indian soil by the miscreants entering from Pakistan, were Indian RAW engineered and orchestrated false flags, to keep Pakistan isolated internationally; and it will not be a surprise, if, the recently caught RAW Indian NAVY officer operating in Pakistan, will soon be coughing out the details, about the Mumbai attack, in which the Indian sponsored attackers entered India, from the sea side.
It is high time that Pakistan informs the entire world, specially, the five permanent security council members of the UNO; that the Indian government is playing with fire and has in fact, embarked upon an undeclared full fledged war against Pakistan. As such, Pakistan reserves the right to use all resources and assets available at its disposal, to counter this Indian offensive against Pakistan; and as a consequence, if, the world faces the armegaddon, it will be the outcome of the extremely severe Indian provocations, using Indian funded and sponsored insurgents, to attack our sensitive installations, schools, universities and parks killing hundreds of men, women, students and kids.
Pakistan must convey to its enemies the red lines for an all out counter attack without warning..!
The whole world knows from where these terrorists are launched and sponsored, who have killed more than 50,000 Pakistanis in the aftermath of the American invasion of Afghanistan.
However, after the brutal killings of about 45 unarmed and peaceful kids, women and men in a bus in Karachi on 13 May, 2015 one thing is absolutely clear that our known enemies will not refrain till either we surrender before them or we decide to fight fire with fire. In this regards, after the attack on Karachi airport I wrote on 9 June, 2014 quoted as below:
Quote.”This means clearly the use of nuclear and all weapons at our disposal, because we can’t sit idle and witness our own demise, without any punishment to the mischief mongers.”Unquote.

The video of AJIT DOVAL current Indian National Security advisor and former RAW man, specifically tells India’s defensive offensive strategy of spreading terrorism in Pakistan.

In fact, Daily Mail of London also reported that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told the Indian PM on his face, all he knew about RAW’s hands in the killings of about 150 kids in a School of Peshawar.
Link:- http://dailymailnews.com/2015/01/14/kerry-snubbed-modi-over-mulla-fazalulla-patronage/
So, there should be no doubt about who is responsible for the killings of INNOCENT kids, men and women in Pakistan.
All these killings have a proven foot print and pattern of RAW’s style of terrorism.
In this regard, I have already written to Mr. Modi.

to not to provoke and push a nuclear Pakistan for any retaliatory action, which may turn the entire region to ashes, quoted as below:
Quote.”Also please inform all those military and political planners in your country, not in favour of genuine peace with Pakistan that low intensity war named as offensive defensive operations, or other covert hostile methods, are no more a long or short term options for, as well as, against; a nuclear power, which possesses more military nuclear arsenal (as reported today by Times of India) than India.
All such paradigms are out dated being a ZERO sum game, in the ultimate nuclear scenario. Such policy planners have no business to stay in the past non-nuclear status frame of mind; and they must develop a NEW and FRESH vision, to guide a major nuclear nation, like India.
Policy makers of nuclear powers must not have a mindset of a non nuclear state. And the foremost responsibility of these policy makers must be to ensure, at all costs, that under ALL circumstances, nuclear flare up or provocations under offensive defensive doctrine, MUST be ruled out: irrespective of the defined policy of no first use of nuclear weapons or retaliatory use of WMD’s.”Unquote.
According to a latest research study in Washington, if these two countries fought a nuclear war the whole region will cease to exist, quoted as below:
Quote. “Dr Khalid also noted that both India and Pakistan had more than 100 nuclear warheads, enough to destroy the entire region.
The two groups recently conducted a study, which showed that if a nuclear war broke out in this region, “both countries would cease to exist”.
The fallout would cause a famine that would go beyond the region and affect more than three billion people around the globe, the study claimed.” Unquote.

In view of the foregoing, it is high time that Pakistan convenes an urgent Security Council meeting of the UNO, to clearly inform the whole world: that from now onwards, Pakistan will not exercise any restraint (as it has got all the undeniable proofs of the Indian aggression) to safe guard its security, even if it leads to an Armageddon.
Dear Mr. Kerry…Sir,what happened to the much hyped $7.5 billion bonus for democracy to Pakistan? Hope you know that hardly $500 million came to Pakistan..! So Sir now the do more ball is in your court..!

Last but not the least would you like to clean anyone’s garbage? If the answer is no, then why expect from us?
Anyway, we knew from the day one that this $7.5 billion KLB bonus for democracy was a lolly pop to Pakistan for getting its cooperation for WOT and US withdrawal plans from Afghanistan.
Let us also dwell briefly on the Afghan, Indian and US interests, one by one as below:
Afghanistan : Durand line is not the border between the two countries.
India: The existence of a strong and stable State of Pakistan is not in the national interest of India.
America: A nuclear Pakistan (more so a Muslim country) is not acceptable.
My Twitter Message to the US President Mr. Barack Obama
My Twitter message to the US President Mr.Barack Obama:
@BarackObama Sir, media reports about your expected visit to Pakistan are really assuring and the entire nation is ready to very warmly welcome you, with open arms.
Perhaps, you will only realise after the visit to Pakistan that how big and monumental service you did to the cause of world peace, in helping Pakistan’s resolve, to resolutely fight the menace and scourge of terrorism.
An email to Ms Hillary Clinton of July 2009
Dear Ms Hillary Clinton,
Assalam-O-Alikum.
Perhaps, it may be a surprise to you, but the fact is that you are the most popular American dignitary in Pakistan. And, in any vote count, you can easily win an election in Pakistan. We still fondly remember your visit to a village named BURKI, near Lahore, during your last trip to the country.
We in Pakistan were quite worried to hear about your recent injury & hope that by the grace of GOD AL-MIGHTY, you must have fully recovered by now.
Your recent statement about the West’s leaving Pakistan alone after the Afghan war, was very well taken by most of our country men. In fact, this statement truly reflected the CHANGE, President Barak Obama promised in his presidential speech. I personally feel that American people & government still don’t have the idea how much, we Muslims particularly, and the down trodden population of the world generally, expect from & trust, Barak Obama to deliver on his promises. Virtually, Barak Obama is seen as President of the Globe.
Hence, America must not miss this opportunity, because although, you cannot conquer the world yet, you have already won the hearts of the dwellers of this world.
In this regard, no one else knows more than you, the importance of Pakistan in defeating the menace of terrorism & building a peaceful world. It is Pakistan where this world has to win the war for peace. Let there be no mistake, that it is a war against terror for Pakistan & within Pakistan. Never-the-less, we also assure you that we can crush this menace with our own muscles. The only thing we need is, the commitment of the free world, not to let Pakistan down (again) this time, for which America will have to take a lead.
Now, in order to see what role the free world must play, I have already written in detail to Mr. David Axelrod, Senior Advisor to the President of USA & Mr. Richard Douglas, Ex. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for counter Narcotics.(Copies also mailed at info@messages.whitehouse.gov & webmasterisb@state.gov)
The said communications may be perused below, for your favour of consideration.
Thanking & wishing you all the success in your quest for true world peace.
Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad.
Lahore – Pakistan
Richard J Douglas,
Ex. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Counter Narcotics,
U.S.A.
ASSALAM-O-ALIKUM.
I am immensely touched by your article titled ‘ The Pakistani Soldier ‘ published in the daily ” THE NEWS ” dated June 20, 2009. The reason being that, it is a genuine tribute to the many hundreds of thousands of Pakistani armed forces personnel, who are sacrificing their today for a better tomorrow, not only of Pakistan, but of the entire peace loving humanity of the world.
In fact, right from day one of the inception of Pakistan, its soldiers have relentlessly served the cause of peace in & outside Pakistan. One example must be still fresh in the minds of the freedom loving Americans. I am referring to the daring act of rescue of US soldiers in Somalia, by the brave Pakistani troops, who defied dangers to their own lives, to serve the cause of the humanity.
Now, what about the beautiful & capable Pakistan, of THE PAKISTANI SOLDIER. If you really want to serve the cause of peace & make this world a tranquil place, don’t treat Pakistani people as pariah of this world. If you have any doubts just go to the US airports and see how (legal Pakistani entrants ) are treated at your entry points ( my email, attached below, addressed to David Axelrod, Senior Advisor to the President of the USA, on the subject remains non replied till date). If no other nation of the free world, at least America owes we Pakistani people, a debt it can never repay (which I need not mention here, because we didn’t take on the USSR as a favour to USA. We stood for the cause of liberty & freedom only).
Today, Pakistan is paying a very heavy price for taking on the cause of liberty & freedom. In fact, the country is profusely bleeding from its wounds of terrorism.
As many Americans admit the mistake of leaving Pakistan in the lurch, after the Afghanistan war. Now it is high time to rebuild Pakistan. The world must come forward to make another Japan of Pakistan. And this objective can’t be achieved through loans & aid. No nation can be build with loans & aid. Rebuilding of Pakistan needs a 10 year Marshall plan (it may not cost more than one or two years defense expenditure of war in Afghanistan), which must broadly include the following strategy.
Ø Writing off the entire Debt of country.
Ø Allowing 100% duty free imports of Pakistani goods in all the countries.
Ø Revamping of entire Pakistani educational system on modern lines.
Ø Providing of world class health care system.
Ø Development of world class transportation infrastructure.
Ø Focus for development on small & medium size industry.
Ø Development of agriculture, livestock & dairy sectors on world standards.
Ø Settlement of Kashmir, water, Siachin & all other issues between Pakistan & India.
Ø Building of Maximum possible dams on the river system.
Ø Development & exploration (as per world standards) of natural resources.
Ø Development of wind energy to the maximum potential of the country.
I am very optimistic that under the visionary leadership of Mr. Obama & his dynamic team, the above proposals for helping Pakistani nation to stand on its feet, for the larger cause of the peace & freedom of this world, may not be a farfetched idea.
With best wishes & kind regards,
Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad.
Dear Mr. David Axelrod.
Senior Advisor to the President of USA.
ASSALAM-O-ALIKUM.
Please convey our full appreciation to President Barak Husain Obama not only for his
wonderful speech but for the genuine efforts he & his administration is making in bridging the gap between the Muslims & the west.
David, without going into the details of who is actually responsible for the turmoil created by the current wave of terrorism in the world, I would like to assure you that no religion is more peaceful than Islam. GOD says in the Quran that saving one life is equal to the saving of the life’s of the entire Humanity. And killing one innocent person is as bad as killing the entire Humanity. But then we Muslims are also not taught to offer the other Cheek, if slapped on one cheek.
I am also convinced that in order to achieve the desired results, good intentions reflected in speeches, must follow with actions. And as a first step & in order to win the heart & minds of the Proud Pakistani Nation, the President of the USA must order that humiliation of all legal Pakistani entrants at American airports should stop immediately. Pakistani visitors should not be discriminated at the airports. This is one step, will not cost a Dollar. But shall generate tremendous goodwill in our hearts, for the great people of the USA, right at your entry points.
With best wishes & kind regards,
Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

Above the law..!
Why we bother the honourable US citizens with few minutes arrest if we can’t even hold them for few hours?
Why we insult ourselves again and again?
I know for sure even if these US citizens are caught carrying LOADED machine guns to the plane no body dare touch them in Pakistan?
Detained US embassy official at Islambad airport released
By Dawn.com
Updated about 2 hours ago
— File photo
ISLAMABAD: An employee of the US embassy, who had been detained at the Benazir International Airport in the federal capital late on Thursday for carrying 9mm loaded pistols, was released today, DawnNews reported.
According to airport sources, William John who is serving as a trainee at the US embassy in Islamabad was scheduled to fly to the United States via Abu Dhabi.
He had been detained after ASF personnel recovered 9mm pistols with magazines and 15 bullets during baggage checking.
Later, ASF personnel had handed the man to police for investigation. A case had been registered against him.
America wants Pakistan to release a Pakistani citizen traitor jailed for spying for the US..!
Pakistan annoyed at US bill linking aid to Dr Afridi’s release
APP and DAWN.COM
Link:-
http://www.dawn.com/news/1081551/pakistan-annoyed-at-us-bill-linking-aid-to-dr-afridis-release
As they say, one can only be insulted to the extent he permits. If the government of Pakistan is really hurt, by the US governments’ decision to make conditional, the release of assistance worth$33 million, with the release of Dr. Shakil Afridi, then the expression of mere disappointment, is just an eye wash, for the consumption of the Pakistani public.
The issue is not the withholding of the US assistance. Never ever, in the diplomatic history of the world, any nation had the guts and the guile to demand extradition of a spy, who was NOT its citizen. Rather, the spy was the very citizen of his own country, against which he acted as a traitor.
Pakistani government must NOT act and behave as a client country of the US. Even the government of a banana country would be ashamed of this Luke warm and dud reaction.
Here we should remember that India is going ahead with the trial of the two Italian navy men, on murder charges of its citizens, despite hue and cry of the entire EU and the West. Moreover, how India stood behind on its stance in the case of its female diplomat in the US, knowing very well that she clearly violated the law of the land. And in this regard, how India stripped PERMANENTLY, US diplomats of many traditional facilities, they enjoyed since ages.
Pak government must warn the American government that any further poking in our domestic matter, may result in the immediate revoking of the permission, granted for the extension of the US embassy in Islamabad and its consulates in Karachi and Lahore.
Pangs & Price of Friendship with US
Keep on punishing Pakistan for being an ally in US war on terror.
A country can survive without being friend of the USA but it can’t live in peace with being friend of the USA.
Pakistan eat more sugar cane.
India and all other countries are allowed by the US, to get oil and gas at concessionary rates from Iran, but Pakistan is not allowed by the US to get even gas from Iran. Perhaps this is the punishment (or reward) the US and NATO wants to handover to Pakistan, for its sacrifices of over 50,000 lives and above a Trillion USD financial losses, in fighting the WOT, shoulder to shoulder with the US and the 49 NATO countries.
Even Oman was allowed in May 2013, to make an agreement for the purchase of gas worth $60 billion from Iran, for onward supply of this gas to China and India.
Any country in the world is allowed to get oil and gas from Iran, except Pakistan.
What Pakistan can get from IMF is loan (@3%) to repay its old loans. America just wants to keep Pakistan on drip therapy, so that it neither sinks nor swims and is an absolute Slave of the US dictation.
In fact, NO other country except Pakistan in the world, is so much under the influence of the US, for so little amount.
US exempts India, China from Iranian sanctions (Times of India Report).
WASHINGTON: US on Friday exempted some countries, including India and China, from the tough Iranian sanctions act as they continue to reduce their dependence on Iranian oil.
“I am pleased to announce that, based on additional significant reductions in the volume of their purchases of Iranian crude oil, China, India, the Republic of Korea, Turkey, and Taiwan have again qualified for an exception to sanctions…(under) the National Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2012,” secretary of state John Kerry said in a statement.
These additional reductions were determined based on an analysis of these economies’ purchasing activity over the previous six months, Kerry said.
Additionally, Malaysia, South Africa, Singapore and Sri Lanka have also qualified again for the NDAA exception because they no longer purchase crude oil from Iran, he said.
Kerry’s exemption in this regard came soon after the determination made by US President Barack Obama that there is sufficient supply of non-Iranian oil for countries to continue to reduce import of oil from Iran.
“There currently appears to be sufficient supply of non-Iranian oil to permit foreign countries to reduce significantly their purchases of Iranian oil, taking into account current estimates of demand, increased production by countries other than Iran, inventories of crude oil and petroleum products, and available spare production capacity,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said.
