Zardari an impotent puppet: Imran

NEW DELHI: Cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan has denounced Pakistan president Asif Ali Zardari as an impotent puppet who has not delivered anything to the Americans, and said the US was going to have to kill a lot of people to make any impact in the war on terror. The 58-year-old Oxford alumnus has used anti-Americanism to perfection in a country where most people see politicians as US puppets who facilitate the deadly drone attacks. Not surprisingly , for his tough talk against the US, Khans popularity is on the rise. The latest surveys rank him as the most popular Pakistani politician and the likely prime minister after the 2014 polls. Khan described the war in Afghanistan as most insane and immoral and asked the government to pull out of it in an interview with The Guardian on Monday. He said the war was unwinnable because it involves more killings and, consequently, more radicalization. The Soviets killed more than a million people in Afghanistan. They were fighting more at the end than the beginning. Clearly, a population of 15 million could take a million dead and still keep fighting.
