US, Pak ties likely to deteriorate: US think tan
US, Pak ties likely to deteriorate: US think tan
Released on - Thursday,29 September , 2011 -15:33
The unusual decision of Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, to send a blunt message to Pakistan reflects that bilateral relations are in trouble and likely to deteriorate further, an influential American think tank has said.
In a blunt statement, Mullen identified the Haqqani network as "a strategic arm of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Agency”, which thereby made the spy agency complicit in the September 13 attacks against the US embassy in Kabul, the June 28 attack against the Inter-Continental Hotel in Kabul.
"When Mullen, the foremost US defender of maintaining sound working ties with Pakistan's military, expresses this much exasperation, those who seek to retain decent bilateral relations are in trouble.
Ties have become extremely tenuous and are likely to deteriorate further," said Michael Krepon, co-founder of the Stimson Centre, a Washington-based think tank.
"By publicly confirming and not qualifying reality, Mullen has changed the rules of the game, while laying the predicate for US military actions against the sanctuary within Pakistan that the Haqqani network enjoys," he said.
This will embarrass Pakistan's military hierarchy and further inflame anti-US opinion within Pakistan - two consequences that are not unrelated, he said.
"Why would Mullen speak out now? The answer in Pakistan is that Washington needs a scapegoat for a military campaign in Afghanistan that is unlikely to end well," Krepon noted.
"This answer conveniently absolves Pakistan's security establishment of responsibility for this mess. There's another answer: the Haqqani network has raised the stakes and the Obama administration has concluded that it has been unable to influence Rawalpindi's unfortunate choices," he said.
Krepon warned that unless Rawalpindi changes course, Pakistan may find itself reframed from a major non-NATO ally to a state sponsor of terrorism.

Obama to raise taxes on US millionaires
Updated at: 0745 PST, Sunday, September 18, 2011
WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama on Monday will call for a higher minimum tax rate on millionaires to ensure they pay the same rate on their earnings as middle-income taxpayers, a White House official said.
The plan comes as Obama engages in a months-long, countrywide trek to back his $447 billion jobs bill to reduce 9.1 percent unemployment and restore trust in his economic leadership.
The tax raise is unlikely to pass Congress as Republicans have already rejected Obama's plans to raise taxes and limit deductions for the highest earners, and would see the rule as a political gambit.
Republicans say adding to the tax burden will hit small business owners and therefore harm job creation.
An administration official said on condition of anonymity that Obama would call his millionaires plan the "Buffett Rule," a reference to an objection by billionaire investor Warren E. Buffett that the richest Americans generally pay a smaller share of their income in federal taxes than middle-income workers.
Some millionaires enjoy the lower rate because investment gains -- such as capital gains, dividends and "carried interest" compensation paid to investment managers and hedge fund partners -- are taxed at a lower rate than wages.
They also only pay the Social Security payroll tax on the first $106,800 of their income, the cut-off point for the tax. But Obama will not indicate a specific rate or provide other details such as how much revenue the plan would raise, according to The New York Times, which first reported the story.
He will unveil the tax hike as part of a broader announcement at the White House on a long-term deficit reduction proposal. A special joint congressional committee is working on a bipartisan budget deal due by late November amid a new row between Obama and Republican lawmakers over the president's jobs bill, after Obama said he would finance the plan by ending tax breaks for oil and gas firms and individuals earning over $200,000. Republicans rejected the blueprint this week.
The millionaires' rate would affect just 0.3 percent of taxpayers, or fewer than 450,000 as 144 million returns were filed for 2010, according to the Times. (AFP)
