Following are excerpts
from a statement by Pakistani political commentator Zaid Hamid, which
was posted on the Internet on May 7, 2011:
Zaud Hamid: Now,
all the Zionist guns are targeting Pakistan. Pakistan is the only Muslim
nuclear country, a country with an organized army, and a very patriotic
nation. But Pakistan is now being presented as a terrorist state, just
like Iraq was presented as a nation having weapons of mass destruction,
before the invasion. That was the softening-up process. Today, the American
bluff, the propaganda disinformation they are spreading about Osama
Bin Laden, and Pakistan being the epicenter of terror – everything
is being done to soften up Pakistan for another invasion, just like
the invasion of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya.
We Pakistani patriots
are warning the Indians and the Americans: We are not Iraq, we are not
Afghanistan. We are an Islamic army, nuclear armed. Your supply lines
in Afghanistan go through Pakistan. Your 150,000 troops will be slaughtered
and butchered, if we do to you what we did to the Soviets. Do not forget
that Pakistan broke down the Soviet Union.
We changed the geography,
we changed the politics, and we can do the same to you. Your 64% fuel
and 80% of supplies go through Pakistan. We know your deceptions, your
lying, your bluffing against Pakistan. The entire Osama Bin Laden drama
that you have created is based on deceptions and lies. Why are you not
telling the world what happened in Abbottabad? Your helicopters were
shot down, your troops were killed, but you have never acknowledged
this.
The world media would
not even talk about your own troops being killed, and helicopters being
shot down. In the last ten years, so many of your top officials have
acknowledged, at least half a dozen times, that Osama Bin Laden has
died. No less than Madeleine Albright acknowledge, way back in 2003,
that Osama Bin Laden had died, but the news has been kept secret to
boost the credentials of the next president, or the president before
the presidential elections. Now Obama's rating is rock bottom. He needed
a drama, a façade, of Osama Bin Laden's being killed in Pakistan, to
boost his own ratings, and on the other hand, to create this global
environment that Pakistan is a terrorist state.

By God, you will regret
the day you were born, the day you decide to put your feet on the ground.
We know you are already waging a massive war against us. Pakistan is
facing multiple insurgencies on every axis. Tahrik-e Taliban Pakistan,
the only terrorist organization in the world which has promised to avenge
the so-called death of Osama, the Baluchistan Liberation Army, and the
terrorists who are now waging havoc in Karachi – we know they are
all funded and backed by you, the Indians, and the Cia.
[…]
We are sending you a
last message, especially to the Indians as well: Do not try to ride
on the American shoulders. Do not exploit the Western hatred for Islam
for your own objectives. By God, we will cut you down to the size of
Sri Lanka. We have ruled over you for a thousand years, and we will
rule for another thousand.
