The National Names Database has some interesting facts about our President, Mr. Asif Ali Zardari. It appears that he may have US Citizenship / Nationality?
I wonder if dual citizenship is permissible while holding office of the President of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, as the issue of the OATH is important, when you take Oath to be US Citizen you swear to protect US interest and when you take Oath as President you take Oath to protect Pakistan’s interest first so there might be a conflict of interest here. Legally the US Oath will stand before the President’s Oath as that was taken in 2002.
The other hallmarks of his profile are more or less spot on
- High School: Saint Patrick’s High School, Karachi, Pakistan
- President of Pakistan (6-Sep-2008 to present)
- Member of Pakistani Parliament Senate (1993-99)
- Pakistani Minister Environment (1993-96)
- Blackmail charged and imprisoned 1990, charges dropped 1993
- Corruption imprisoned 1997-2004
- Murder of Murtaza Bhutto, charged 1996
- Tortured
- Risk Factors: Diabetes, Depression
We all know that he was chucked out of Petaro and never made it to the so called anonymous Business School IN London, the tenure as Minister of Enviromnet we all know was enough of EPA threat to blackmail companies into his corner, the corruption charges he still continues to dodge
But I was humored to read that the NNDB very categorically lists his sexual orientation as “Straight” [?] The Risk Factors being Diabetes is not a big issue I hope he is managing his blood glusoce but little can be done to undo Mental depression which should be a concern for the populace that he rules over.
The link to his profile on NNDB is HERE, while the story credit must go out to The News and PKPolitics for leading up to this story
UPDATE: The NNDB changed the Nationality to Pakistan, a few hours after the screen capture was taken
Look at this picture, this is a child labeled as IDP (internally displaced person) living currently in a make shift camp without proper basic living conditions e.g. food, water, sanitation. He doesn’t have fear in his eyes, even though it could well be that his family died during air raids by his own country’s air force or shelling by army tanks of his nation’s army or if spared by all that then by a drone attack of our biggest ally or may be they survived but this kid still must have seen a lot of carnage and so would have all the other kids of his age around him. We are fighting this war for a some time now and it seems to be in the pipeline for a few more so we are talking about a whole generation being raised in such conditions with atrocities being committed all around them. To me it seems like we are running a Taliban production center ourselves or at least the final product is quite ready to be installed with radicalism or Islamic fundamentalist ideas. But even putting that aside for a moment this does raise some questions, the answers to which all of us don’t know but have every right to demand from god knows who. May be even god wouldn’t know since he sure would be keeping his distance from all this utter stupidity going on in our land; after all that’s also politically correct.
