PRESS STATEMENT
 
To hide their treachery, the rulers are giving this impression that Atomic Pakistan can not defend itself.

The shameful statement of the Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani has rubbed salt in the wounds of the masses. By saying that we can’t fight a war with America he wants to pass this message to the masses that they should ‘tolerate’ the massacre of Muslims and expect no retaliation from the rulers. Whereas, the reality is that it’s America who cannot fight an open war with a nuclear power of the like of Pakistan, thanks to its own innumerable problems.

How can America open a new war-front given that its troops are engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan so badly that its soldiers are deprived of even their routine leaves? How can America dig their own grave by waging war with a country which has its supply line of food, weapons and oil? America has almost 33,000 troops stationed in Afghanistan while NATO has plainly announced that they will not support America in case of any attack on Pakistan. Given this, how can America dare to fight the seventh largest Army of the World? After Iraq-war American public is already psychologically disenchanted from any new war. In such a scenario, can America prepare its masses for a new open war just two months prior to elections? No way!
 
There is no doubt that Pakistan’s military arsenal and hardware doesn’t overshadow that of America, however, a Pakistan, possessing nuclear weapons, missiles technology and half a million brave soldiers who are ready to attain martyrdom for Islam, is in a good position to injure and bruise an already battered America to an extent which she cannot afford to stomach right now.

American bases in Bagram and Doha, which America will never wish to be in danger, are within Pakistan’s striking range both through our fighter planes and missiles. Had America attained the capacity to annihilate Pakistan with ease it would have done it long time ago.  In fact the only way to destroy Pakistan is to implode it from within.

If we have to save Pakistan, we will have to get rid of Zardari, Geelani and Kiyani troika and re-establish the system of Khilafat-e-Rashida. We need such a ruler and an army chief that implement Islam and raise the craving for martyrdom in 160 million people and to teach a lesson to the coward Americans who are hiding from ill-armed Mujahideen in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is the responsibility of the sincere people amongst the people-of-power to take practical step to rescue the Ummah from this humiliating situation and provide nusrah (material support) to Hizb ut-Tahrir in establishing the Khilafah.
