The Pentagon has said that retired chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen was confident that the memo delivered by Mansoor Ijaz was not sent by President Asif Ali Zardari. A spokesman for Mullen asserted that the former chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff committee never met or knew the central figure in the controversy. “Mullen never met Pakistani American businessman Mansoor Ijaz, who has alleged that Pakistan’s ambassador to the US Hussain Haqqani asked for assistance in getting a message from President Asif Ali Zardari to the then top US military leader,” Pentagon spokesman Captain John Kirby told reporters.
Asserting that the admiral did not take the alleged secret memorandum seriously as it was “not signed” and there was no indication that it was coming from the Pakistani president, Kirby said, adding that the contents of the said letter were not reliable and authenticated. Asked about a Pakistani media report that former national security adviser Gen James Jones had admitted to carrying the memo to Mullen, he said: “I am not going to speak to Gen Jones participation in it and if he is speaking that is certainly his account.”
I find the admiral's statement credible.
Is Mansoor Ijaz. giving us the 'whole truth' and 'nothing but the truth'? What's his link/s?
Mansoor Ijaz is a Qadiani Ahmadi working for Ahmadiyya jamat – a religious Cult mafia now having their headquarter in London – they have an agenda to destabilize Pakistan – as a revenge for declaring them non-muslims. They celebrate with joy when floods or earthquake strike Pakistan – as a fulfillment of their false prophet's prophesy for his non-believers.
Watch out them. May ALLAH keep Pakistan and Pakistanis in protection from their evil intentions. Amen!
Let us not bring Qadianiat into it. The reality is that an extremely damaging Memo was delivered to Admiral Mullen, seriously jeopardizing Pakistan's sovereignty. There is little doubt that Haqqani initiated it. However, if Zardari is behind it, he should be hauled before the Supreme Court on charges of treason.
I have a different take on this issue. I have hard time thinking that US state or any other department will jump into action based on such a memo. No one, just no one, in any country (forget US) would take that kind of memo seriously. Such actions occur only under a state seal or in a very clandestine way with previously established very solid contacts. Neither of them are present here.
One has to be a real stupid to expect any material action from a foreign nation. As big and powerful US is, it does not sit on a spring-board to get into action based on a chit sheet we are discussing.
I don't see that memo can have any negative implications on the state of Pakistan. The real truth about may be far from what have been discussed in the media so far. Just a possibility…
Do'nt you think Haqqani will be considerd a new SHAHEED of future. It has showed the only evedence provided by a person who has openly remarked against army a terrorest through his writtings in the past. The perception will remain on ground that any democratic government particularly PPP government will not be accepted. All the anti democratic forces are geathering against PPP to throw its government out. It is unfair with an elected party.
Mullen on a damage control for a loyal US servant:))
Its not you Mr. Mullen who will decide whether the memo was sent by Zardari or not? We have capable agencies like ISI, MI etc. who will find out who did what and when? As far as signature on memo is concerned, people of Pakistan knows that there are hundreds of unsigned and unwritten agreements between Pakistan and US.
