The Coming War with Pakistan
Casting covetous analytical eyes on events in and around the Land of Pure, the data supports way more than Pakistan’s new pres weighing in on the War On Terror lets on.
” Pakistan has had this concept of Afghanistan as its client state,
and it’s always endeavored to keep it in its back pocket. That’s why it was so keen to get the Taliban in power, because the movement was basically born in the madrassas of Pakistan.
Now, Indians have moved into the country very quickly. They’ve
invested lots of money—they’re building the new parliament and there are about 3,000 Indian workers in the southwest, building a road that would link Afghanistan to the Persian Gulf without going through Pakistan. At the moment, Afghanistan is entirely dependent upon Pakistan for sea access, so they’re obviously very concerned about that development. “
ISI is prepping to take Pakistan to war against Great Satan.
“The month of September saw intensification of missile attacks and each attack resulted in loss of innocent lives. So far 62 border violations have been carried out by US-ISAF forces including 36 after the takeover by PPP government in March 2008. So far 30 missile attacks have been made killing innocent people. In none of the attack any Al-Qaada operative or militant Taliban was killed.”
“Sometimes we think there’s been overt efforts on the part of the Taliban, in particular, to surround themselves with civilians so as to, at a minimum, reap an I.O. (Info Op) advantage if civilians are killed.”
“An Iftar Dinner was scheduled at Marriot on September which was hosted by National Assembly Speaker Dr Fahmida Mirza and where all dignitaries including the prime minister, president, cabinet and all services chiefs were invited. However, at the eleventh hour the dinner was shifted to the Prime minster’s house which saved Pakistan’s entire military and political leadership.”
Courtney, Pakistan is a frightening prospect. I think we need to continue to use force in the FATA region, while applying increasing diplomatic pressure within the Pakistani Govt. I do fear how the current economic crisis will divert attention away from our enemies, pseudo-enemies, and hostile-allies (actually enemies) in the world. Korea has announced it will restart its nuke program; Iran continues to bluster; Russia is conducting training of Venezuelan troops; rumors of dictatorial orgies between Putin, Chavez, Ahmadenijad and the Castro brothers abound.
When we are weak, our enemies are strong. Our allies are for the most part, always weak (with a few exceptions). Spooky times…
Hi Erik, True - all of it. Though Land of the Pure is in a bind of her own creation. As the largest foreign aid donor to Pakistan, including nothing but love military wiise - billions in easy credits and upgraded weaponry since 911, it could be said America has bought and paid for the ‘privilede’ of trekking through tribal no go zones and kiliing or capturing enemies at our discretion.
What is amazing is the Paki military allows Taliban and AlQaeda to trek about appearantly nigh unhindered yet acts out when hot pursuit from Afghanistan is in play.
There is a sense that Pakistan will NEVER put paid to Aq or Taliban. Perhaps that Marriott strike will convinve the new pres to get in it to win it.
