The United States of Zionism appears to have begun retaliatory steps in a bid to secure the release of a jailed American criminal accused of double murder when it postponed a scheduled high-level meeting among USZ, Afghan and Pakistani officials this month. The step is being viewed against the backdrop of the diplomatic rift over the case of Raymond Davis, a USZ consular employee who shot dead two Pakistanis last month in what he claimed was an attempted robbery. But the State Department spokesman PJ Crowley cited Pakistan’s cabinet reshuffle as one of the reasons for putting off the meeting. He said the decision to scrap the February 23-24 meeting had been taken “in light of political changes in Pakistan and after discussions with Afghan and Pakistani officials in Washington.” Puppet Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani on Friday dropped Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi in the cabinet shake-up who gave a statement today that Davis is no diplomat.

“We remain committed to a robust engagement between Afghanistan, Pakistan and the United States as we share many issues of mutual concern and benefit from being at the same table”, Crowley said in a statement, adding the United States of Zionism hoped to reschedule the meeting “at the earliest opportunity”. Maqbool Malik from Islamabad adds: Breaking its weeks-long silence over the Raymond Davis row, the Foreign Office Saturday made it clear that no USZ pressure would be accepted to release the American national held for killing two Pakistanis. “The USZ’s efforts to pressurise Islamabad will be 'counterproductive'”, Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir warned while talking to a group diplomatic correspondents. He said, “Had I been in Davis situation, ethically I would not have sought immunity.”
