Zardari compliments Palin
Asif Ali Zardari meets Palin
I think it was funny and as an admin for this website I do not see anything wrong with this. This was nothing more than extended compliment. President Asif Ali Zardari made Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin a step back when he greeted her as ‘gorgeous’. That was not all. He went on to express a desire to ‘hug’ her.
Palin (44) is in New York to brush up her image of being internationally savvy. She has called on a number of world leaders who are here for the United Nations General Assembly.
As Palin entered the room at the swank Intercontinental Berkeley hotel, where Zardari and his entourage are staying, she was greeted by Information Minister Sherry Rehman who said, “And how does one keep looking that good when one is that busy?” a compliment that visibly pleased the Republican vice presidential candidate.
“Oh, thank you,” she replied, looking genuinely pleased.
The embarrassment got underway with the entrance of President Zardari. As Palin rose from her sofa to greet him and to say that she was ‘honoured’ to meet him, he left her reeling when he called her ‘gorgeous’ and as if that was not enough, he added, “Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you.” Palin recovered her poise to say, “You are so nice, thank you.” An official aide to Zardari did not help matters much when he requested the two leaders to keep shaking hands for the benefit of the cameras. “If he is insisting,” he said pointing to the aide, “I might hug”.

But this shows anyone can influence Zardari through women.

if one does not think Mrs Palin is attractive they have seriously restricted visual capacities.

This shows that Zardari is what he always was: an intellectually impoverished, classless, male-chauvenistic pig with no political tact or spine.
Foreign leaders will walk all over this sorry son of a bitch. What a national embarrasment.

@All- Greet someone’s beauty is not a bad thing in World’s Culture but making a fake Propaganda is very rare in Pakistan.. Criticizm is the word which defines as: Make the true statement as false and a false statement true.. If one have a good vision and nice character, then show him as bad as u can.. Tats wat some of people here trying to do.. Dont know why people like u happy with the Dictatorship and always oppose Democracy.. The Best Quote for the above ones (GET A LIFE LOOSERS)..!

Absoulty agree with you farhad, i don’t no whtz the problum with the people who always criticize President Asif Ali Zardari (The nation pride)….where they can not criticize him politically, they get trun to criticize him personally as now as on his character….He is our President & a great Leader of our nation so we should respect him but what if he says something good to Palin, There is nothing to be ashamed, This criticize starts just cox of Geo made this news as headline…Media always opposed PPP goverment & its leadership but people should know Media can not be always right as they belive blindly on it…I must want to repeat the words said by President Asif Ali Zardari: Sooch choti bari hoti hai insaan nahi. Tasveer hamesha haqeeqat nahi hoti, awaz hamesha sachi nahi hoti, ye duniya ik bazar farebi, yehan har baat sachi nahi hoti…

To set the record straight, i would like to bring this to your notice Miss Sherry Rehman clarified this issue in Capital Talk soon after President’s visit. It is wrongly said that President Zardari passed on these comments to Palin. Miss Rehman says
” During the visit when Palin entered the room, i proceeded to greet her and personally complimented on her beauty and charming personality. President Zardari simply aqueised in agreement”

“But the history shall never forget”
I am not oblivious to the fact that Bhutto was in a “dictator’s” cabinet once, but then over the years Bhutto served as his foreign minister, he shaped an independent foreign policy which later on paved the way for Pakistan to pull out of SEATO and CENTO. Foreign policies just dont tend to deliver within days and hours. Bhuttos back door diplomacy with China, Russia, France and the Islamic Nations (while he held the office under Ayub) later on delivered when he came to power. He laid the foundation stone of Pak-China friendship while still in a “dictator;’s” cabinet. His outstanding diplomacy back in 1960’s restored the confidence of Russia in Pakistan not being “the most allied ally of the west”. His foreign policy measures back in a “dictator;’s” cabinet later helped Pakistan acquire a nuclear reprocessing plant from France and unimaginable finincial help from the gulf and China. Unlike Nawaz Sharif and other (A, B, C D….Z) Leaugers who contributed naught towards Pakistan while in Zia’s cabinet, save for weakening the Federation with sologans like “Jaag Pujabi jaag” and feeding Afghan extremists then fighting the soviets.
There is no parallel between the 1965 war and the Kargil adventure. 1965 war was a full scale offensive on both sides, while Kargil should be classified as a scrimish at hill tops of Azad Kashmir. Moreover, Musharraf pursued with his Kargil adventure keeping the government and public in dark. Bhutto openly practiced his Indian policy and Pakistan,s foreign office kept the public and international community aboard with the agressive Indian plans. Besides Pakistan defeated the Indians on battlefield with 500sq miles of Indian Punjab in hand and not a single sq feet of Azad Kashmir taken away from us. Ayub lost a the battlefield victory on table. There are record statements of Bhutto clearly indicating he was unhappy with what Ayub was bargainig at Tashketn even before the declaration was made public. When Lal Bahadur Shastri, the Indian PM died of a heart attack the next day, Bhutto said “He must have died out of sheer happiness over the fool Indian’s made of Ayub at Tashkent”As a bottom line to the 1965 episode, Bhutto had absolutely no role in the “unpopular” Tashkent agreement.
The 1971 episode should “NEVER” be centered around the events that occured after the 1970 elections. They were a direct outcome of the “Punjabi” dominance over the rest of Pakistan for 25 years in Government, beureaucracy, military and economy. If carefully studied, Mujib’s 6 points ( fed into him by the Indians) if accepted literally divided the then Pakistan into not 2 but 5 independent provinces with their seperate economies and distinct foreign relations while still working as a Federation! That was a big joke. It meant 5 Pakistans. Bhutto was absoulutely right to reject them altogether.
True Mujib won a 100% majority in West. True Bhutto won a majority in East. There was no need of a war or Army Operation, personally i believe we lost West Pakistan the day election results were announced. We had no moral right to force them into a Federation named Pakistan. It was a plebicite not an election and the Bengalis had spoken. I personally accept the creation of Bangladesh before 16th of December 1971. On the contrary, Mujib too had no right to head the Eastern wing with not a single seat at hand. Bhutto represented the east wiith an overwhelming majority and had due right to guard its interests against Mujib’s 6 point agenda that could have culminated into 5 independent states.
The 1977 elections were unecessarily “rigged”. Bhutto would have won anyway, but he again wanted a two-thirds majority to implement his policies in a smooth run. And that two-thirds majority was not possible with Jamaat-e-Islami selling out tickets of “Jannat” to those who voted against Bhutto. It was a mistake which eventually resulted in a roller-coaster downfall of Bhutto Governement. But this is not all. Bhutto was a leader of the public and he prooved it yet again when succumbing to the demands of PNA he signed an agreement to hold fresh elections in the country under international supervision. The same night Zia declared Martial Law, 5th July 1977. The PNA had successfuly played into the hands of CIA. ( There is a bigger story behind this, il write it later on). Dollar was selling for its lowest in the streets of Pakistan to fund the one point agenda of “Mullahs, Military and America- Bhutto should be brought to an end!
I pity, Bhutto was brought to an end, but not “Bhuttoism”
PS: From “Bhuttoism” i donot mean to say PPP but only and only the Bhutto Ideology.
Benazir came to Power in 1989. Ten long years after her father was removed from office, and her younger brother Shaheed Shahnawaz Bhutto laid to rest in Garhi Khuda Bukhsh only after begin killed by ISI. By then Zia had poisoned the young minds and weakened Pakistan to its roots. By then he had layed the foundation stone of a Pakistan we see today. By then he had already ordered “his stooges” to strike on December 27th 20 years from then.
