    • ANI Tags : Pakistan terrorism, Imran Khan, Tehreek e Insaaf Posted: Tuesday , Jul 07, 2009 at 1544 hrs Islamabad:

    Cricketer-turned politician, Imran Khan has charged the PPP-led government of being subservient to the United States, saying that government has rented out the country’s army to the US in exchange of 1.5 billion dollars.

    “We have rented our military out to US in exchange of mere 1.5 billion dollars while US is spending sixty billion dollars on its army comprising 55,000 troops in Afghanistan,” ‘The News’ quoted Khan, as saying.

    Addressing party workers in Manshera, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf chief accused certain ‘elements’ in the government of forcing a war on people of the North

    West Frontier Province (NWFP) just for pocketing billions of dollars from the US.

    Khan also warned the government that people in Swat and Malakand Divisions would take to streets in protest against the military offensive, if the military operation was not called off by July 31.

    two can play the gameBy: INDIAN | 08-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward America is doing just what Pakistan itself is doing with the Hizbul Mujahiddin and the LeT and the Hurriyet Conference in Kashmir.It has taken these outfits on rent to further its own agenda to destabilise India. Pakistan has also taken on rent criminals to push fake Indian currency to destroy the Indian economy. What Pakistan does to India, the USA is doing on a slightly bigger scale in Pakistan that's all. Quite simply it is a matter of scale.
    Pak army rented out to US for $1.5 bn: Imran KhanBy: Ratan Gupta | 08-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Imran Khan by far is the greatest Cricketer Asia has produced so far. And the best looking Cricketer in the world. He is a critque of the government, like we have many critiques in our country. Some of their comments are right, some are wrong. To attack Imran Khan in such a vulgarity, is the testimony that we have fallen ourselves to disgrace. When are we going to accept the fact that America and the West needs Pakistan very badly. We have failed to see the geographical situation. If Pakistan raise its hands, the world will cry. Pakistan is doing a great faovour to the world by launching such an all out attack. 5 million of its citizens are homeless today. And still we are not happy. When was the last time Christian, Hindus and others have taken the task to their own extremists? Still we have too see that. Muslim extremmists were not responsible to kill 6 million jews, 200 million Red Indians, 1/2 million Japs.
    Pakistan armyBy: venus arora | 08-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Pakistan armies are for the border and not for running the country. Pakistan army is a full fledged buissness unit of the country running its own industries. So what if it is rented out for the money, afterall the naive americans are giving something to the country.
    rented army?By: Amarjit Poonia | 08-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward If you think about it rationally you can also conclude that the USA is helping Pakistan protect its innocent people from the terrorists(Taliban and whoever else they are)
    Pretty Boy ImranBy: Intrepid | 08-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Pretty Boy Imran should stick to cricket or something other than national politics. What the hell does he know about governance, policies, etc. Maybe he needs Jemima's shoulders to cry and whine on! The rest of you! Go back to school and learn to spell, read and write english! Atrocious!!!!!!!!!
