US attack on Pak to be a catastrophic mistake: PEW
ISLAMABAD, September 26, 2011 (PPI): The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Monday said a US attack on Pakistan would be a mistake as our country is not as weak as Iraq and Afghanistan and it will not offer easy victories to an over-stretched and dejected army.
Lashing out at old ally Pakistan is known American style to blame others for its humiliating failures, it said. US took action against Cambodia when it failed to win Vietnam War and now they are planning to repeat the mistake without realising that their troops in Afghanistan are not away from Pakistan, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President of the PEW.
Talking to former officers of armed forces, he said that the US military has developed habit to attack small, weak nations but the pentagon experts who advocate attacking Pakistan are playing with fire. Such policies have already ruined American economy, he added.
He said that Pakistan can consider abandoning cooperation in war on terror and offer general amnesty to all insurgents to ensure peace.
Dr. Murtaza Mughal said that US is directly involved in recent attacks on Pakistani borders in which many security personnel were killed.
At the occasion, President of Pakistan Ex-Servicemen Society Lt. Gen (retd) Faiz Ali Chishti said that we are responsible for most of the problems.
He said that Pakistan needs a ruthless civilian administrator and a proper accountability system without which Pakistan will continue to suffer.
Other officials including Sq. Ldr. (retd) Liaquat Ansari, Col. (Retd) Inam Rahim, Col. (Retd) Khalid Mehmood, Col. (Retd) Sajjad and others said that Abbottabad operation was a drama that has flopped.
They said that announcing amnesty for warriors is in the national interest. The former military officials said that many service members were awarded illegal punishments during Musharraf’s era and now they should be given a right to challenge sentences in the High Courts.
India had allowed right to appeal to the members of armed forces in 2007, which majority of the countries has done so decades back but Pakistan is yet to move in this direction, they said.
He said that defendants are not provided record of the proceedings which is against fundamental human rights, Constitution, and justice.
