.Slow Pakistan Response to Flood Hurts Zardari
The Pakistani government's slow response to the worst floods in decades has further eroded President Asif Ali Zardari's political standing in Islamabad's power structure, said U.S. officials, entrenching perceptions of him as an ineffectual leader and frustrating U.S. efforts to strengthen the civilian government in a country still dominated by the military.
So slow was Mr. Zardari's initial response to the crisis, said these officials, that top U.S. officials privately pressed the Pakistani leader to cut short his visit to Europe and head home to help contain the fallout.
One senior Obama administration official "leaned pretty heavily" on Mr. Zardari, according to an official familiar with the phone calls.
Mr. Zardari later returned to Islamabad. U.S. officials don't know whether it was because of American pressure or the protests Mr. Zardari faced in Europe. One expatriate Pakistani threw a shoe at him, according to Pakistani media reports.
The floods are known to have killed about 1,500 people and affected about 20 million others. The World Bank stepped in with a $900 million loan from other projects as the United Nations warned that the country wasn't receiving enough assistance. People have begun to protest the lack of aid, especially in Punjab and Sindh provinces.
U.S. officials, who say they haven't seen such human dislocation in Pakistan since its partition from India in 1947, regarded the flood as a moment for the civilian government to respond quickly and restore its flagging popularity. But Mr. Zardari's absence and the civilian government's relative inaction have led to more criticism.
Pakistan's military has been active in flood response, with 60,000 troops involved. That visibility has helped deepen the impression of many Pakistanis that the military is the real power.
The country has been ruled by military governments for more than half of the 63 years since its independence, most recently for almost a decade until 2008.
The military continues to run many areas it has recently taken over from Pakistani Taliban militants—such as the Swat Valley—saying the civilian government in those regions is too weak to assume control.
Gen. Ashfaq Kayani, the powerful head of the Pakistan military, has shown no signs of wanting to seize power. But he remains an omnipresent figure who this year appeared to lead a delegation of ministers to a strategic dialogue with the Obama administration in Washington.
The U.S. believes a strong civilian government would lead to a more stable Pakistan and allow the military to focus on attacking Taliban militants on its border with Afghanistan.
The Obama administration has invested heavily in promoting Pakistan's civilian government, pledging $7.5 billion in aid to help it provide basic services in order to counter Islamist influences.
Mr. Zardari, however, is increasingly seen as a figurehead. Changes in Pakistan's constitution have largely shifted official power to Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani. Mr. Zardari still carries weight as head of PPP, the largest party in parliament.
Even before the floods struck, Mr. Zardari's approval ratings had been falling. A poll by the U.S.-based Pew Research Center found that only one in five Pakistanis viewed him positively. Then Mr. Zardari's 10-day absence during flooding fueled protests at home and struck a nerve in the Obama administration.
Islamic charities, some of which have links to terrorist organizations, meanwhile are active in the flood zone, distributing aid and competing with the Pakistani government for the population's goodwill, worrying some U.S. officials.
Mr. Zardari has defended his decision to travel abroad, saying he helped focus international attention on the crisis.
A spokesman for Mr. Zardari said the president decided to go ahead with the European visit in the long-term interests of good relations with the U.K. and France. Returning would have given him only a short-term popularity boost, he said.
U.S. officials are reluctant to criticize the Pakistani government publicly. "It's a crisis; they need support," a senior U.S. official in the region said.
It took days for Pakistan to present the U.S. with an initial list of what supplies it needed.
"The delay is understandable because the Pakistani military couldn't get up in the air to do a thorough assessment. The monsoon is continuing," a U.S. defense official said.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be in New York on Thursday to attend a special U.N. session on the floods in Pakistan.
Washington has so far pledged $75 million in aid, the most of any country, and plans to send teams from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to help Pakistan make more detailed assessments. Deployment of U.S. military personnel is complicated by Islamabad's insistence on minimizing the U.S. footprint, officials said. "Everything we're doing is at the express invitation of the government of Pakistan," a defense official said
