Chairman Poe and Chairman Salmon, Ranking Members Keating and Sherman, and other members of the Committees, thank you for inviting me here today to speak about Pakistan and its support for terrorist groups that threaten the security of the United States and its allies.

After his retirement as head of the premier intelligence agency, the ISI (which he ran for two years 1987-89), he found a second career as a pundit-at-large and all-purpose security consultant.

PESHAWAR, Oct. 21, 2011 (IPS/GIN) - \"Today is the best day of my life,\" Gul Hamid, 40, told IPS. \"Finally my family members are convinced that HIV/AIDS can't be transmitted through handshakes or shared meals and utensils.\" \"HIV/AIDS has become a 'family disease' in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), where husbands have unwittingly transmitted the deadly infection to their wives, who subsequently give birth to HIV-infected children,\" Mohamed Cisse, country chief of Health and Nutrition for UNICEF, told IPS.

He asked the Khabrain correspondent: 'Do you consider Usamah Pakistan's enemy? And is one who offered Usamah refuge in Pakistan and provided him with a hideout a hero or a villain? And is one who helped [the United States] nab Usamah a hero'? He stated categorically that Usamah was fighting Islam's war and was working to uphold the flag of Islam. He said the United States has still not managed to establish Usamah bin [Ladin]'s link with the 9/11 incident. The United States turned into Usamah's enemy only because he was working for Islam.

He was addressing a ceremony held in Gujranwala under the auspices of Wasif Khial Sangat to pay homage to Sufi saint Wasif Ali Wasif.

Gen [ret] [Hamid Gul] said: \"The forces of paganism have faced the worst defeat in Afghanistan and Iraq, but these forces are reluctant to accept their defeat. By 2012, these forces will be totally exhausted. The attack on the Red Mosque and Jamia Hafsa [women Islamic seminary] was a preplanned conspiracy, because of which bloodshed has spread in the country at present. The inflated statures of dwarfs will return to their original size once the Pakistani youths brings about the Islamic revolution.\"
