Is this guy really fit to be President of Pakistan. I am not being sarcastic am seriously asking this question.
The affidavits submitted in his defence regarding mental stability seems to be accurate. I mean for God sake does he has any sense what he is saying and doing, does he even realize what are the concequence? Is he really that desperate for power?

Zardari wrong on India

PRESIDENT Zardari’s statement at the IISS in London, that he wants India to become a part of Friends of Democratic Pakistan (FODP) and would welcome Indian investment through that route, was badly timed with major bilateral disputes still unresolved and India showing no interest in moving towards conflict resolution or even restoration of dialogue. Zardari’s statement also reflected a continuing ignorance relating to the dynamics of the Pakistan-India relationship. It is this ignorance that led him to undermine Pakistan’s deliberate ambiguity on nuclear first use by a careless remark on the issue in his early days. The same ignorance led him to ignore the criticality of India denying Pakistan water from the Chenab river, which he dismissively countered by saying he would write a letter to the Indian leadership. Of course nothing happened and India got away with contravention of the Indus Waters Treaty. Then, in the immediate aftermath of the Mumbai blasts, he decided, on his own, that the ISI Chief would be sent to India, until he was made to realise the repercussions of such a disastrous move and had to backtrack immediately. Not that President Zardari was deterred in unilaterally pursuing his own India agenda. Who can forget his bizarre justification of the Indian military aircraft intruding into Pakistani airspace – not once but a number of times? On his request to downplay these military forays, Pakistan referred to them simply as “technical violations” – but even that President Zardari sought to explain away rather strangely as mere “technical faults”! Even more damaging have been off the cuff decisions regarding bilateral trade and an unsuccessful attempt to bulldoze through the Indian dream wish of land trade access from Pakistan into Afghanistan and beyond through the bilateral Pak-Afghan bilateral trade agreement.

However, as President of Pakistan Asif Zardari has to realise that public pronouncements on India have a sensitivity that has to be handled with a deliberateness and caution. At a time when India is deliberately holding up renewal of dialogue and actively using aggressive diplomacy and propaganda against Pakistan, it hardly becomes the President of Pakistan to continue making unilateral concessions. If India was to become a part of FODP, it would have a one-way access of investing in Pakistan. Of greater concern however is the fact that this government seems to have accepted the US demand to set up a trust fund under World Bank supervision and no Pakistani control, for disbursement of FODP assistance for Balochistan and NWFP. This reflects ceding sovereignty over financial decision making relating to two sensitive provinces. Through this route, Pakistan would have no say in what type of Indian investment comes in and where it goes. India would gain overt and unrestricted access to Balochistan and NWFP – where Pakistan already suspects it of covert destabilisation.

President Zardari simply has to realise that decisions regarding state policy, cannot simply be taken as if Pakistan were a personal fiefdom.
