But the evil he spawned lives on.

Is there any nation on this planet more useless-in a constructive way-than Pakistan?

This thread is about Gul:

Lieutenant-General Hamid Gul was a military commander in the Pakistani Army in the 1980s, and served as the head of the country’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency from 1987 to 1989.
But Gul’s rise to fame came during the Pakistan-Saudi-US effort to keep funds and logistical support flowing to the Afghanistan mujahidin, who were eventually credited with defeating Soviet military and political forces.

During the Bush administration, the US sought to put Gul on a UN list of international terrorists but their efforts were blocked by the Chinese delegation.

Q: But Zardari once told a western journal that you are a “political ideologue of terror”.

HG:I wrote a letter to Zardari that I am an ideologue of jihad, which is common between us. He is a Muslim like me and believes in the Quran. Terror is a totally different thing. I do not support terror at all, but jihad is our right when a nation is oppressed. According to the United Nations Charter, national resistance for liberation is a right. We call this a jihad.

Seven years too late. Reportedly, he and others were getting phone calls from the Mumbai terrorists as they were committing their atrocities. He may have been personally directing them whom to attack and whom to kill. A real piece of work.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Gul was a ghoul.
