Dear Pakistani members,
Will you let disgrace imposed by your puppet leaders continue to tarnish your image as "Muslim nation with nuclear weaponry" while you let three of PAF bases is being used to kill your own compatriots? Speaking of reality, some Pakistani military officers should bring them to justice for betraying Islam and country and hang their balls amidst Karachi street.
Please don't shoot the messenger since the news is witten by a Khaleeji newspaper. Back to the main topic, the Obama Administration is seen to be hellbent to follow the track previously put godless Soviet subhumans into its TOTAL OBLIVION! Mark my word: We will see the next hilarious yet titillating event in our lives...
Why is Obama expanding the war in Afghanistan?
WASHINGTON: On February 15, 1989, General Boris Gromov led his 40th Soviet Army out of Afghanistan, marking the end of Moscows bloody and disastrous occupation. In the process, some 1.5mn Afghans died at the hands of the Red Army and Afghan Communists.
The new Soviet chairman, Mikhail Gorbachev, determined the Afghan war, begun by his dim predecessor, Leonid Brezhnev, and a cabal of party and KGB hardliners, could not be won.
Fortunately for the world, Gorbachev, proved a leader of profound humanity, decency, and intellect. Gorbachev, courageously accepted defeat and brought his soldiers home. Soon after, the Soviet Union, a bankrupt empire held together by fear and repression, began to crumble. To his eternal credit, Gorbachev refused to employ force to hold the Soviet Empire together.
The new president of the bankrupt American imperium should heed Gorbachevs wisdom. Barack Obamas inauguration offered a perfect opportunity to pause the US-led Afghan War, and open talks with Afghan groups resisting foreign occupation (both the Soviets and US branded them `terrorists). Instead, Obama vowed to intensify the eight-year war which has so far cost the $62bn.
President Obama declared he will send 17,000 more US troops to Afghanistan on top of the 6,000 troops dispatched by George Bush. Another 13,000 will follow in the spring. These reinforcements are supposed to come from the US Iraq garrison. But Pentagon hardliners and their Republican allies are trying to delay or thwart the troop drawdown from Iraq.
So, its welcome to President Obamas War. Obama just defined his goals in Afghanistan as: preventing it from being used as a launching pad for attacks on North America; and defeating Al Qaeda. He also allowed that some sort of negotiations to split Taliban might be attempted.
Both stated goals are patently false. September 11 was organised in Germany and Spain, allegedly by a group of Saudis and Pakistanis. Attacks on New York, Washington, London, Madrid and Mumbai were plotted in apartments and houses, not the mountains of Afghanistan.
Al Qaeda never had more than 300 men and is today reduced to a handful of fugitives hiding in Pakistans tribal territories and Baluchistan. The movements primary function, as my new book explains, was as a guest house and data base for foreign mujahedin fighting the Soviets and Afghan Communists. It was not and is not a world-wide terrorist organisation.
By expanding the Afghan war, Obama fuels the growing threat of a major explosion in Pakistan. Today, US warplanes and CIA killer drones operate from three secret Pakistani air bases. Washington has rented 120,000 Pakistani troops for $100mn monthly (plus equally large, secret CIA payments) to support the US occupation of Afghanistan.
In an unprecedented act, Pakistans government is being paid by Washington to attack its own people, and to allow US forces to do the same.
Pakistan is bankrupt. The previous US-backed Musharraf regime made off with whatever money there was. Yet at some point, Pakistans rent-an-army of modern-day sepoys may rebel and turn against the government that orders it to kill fellow Muslims while letting India expand its influence in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, high expectations for Obama are fading. To the anguish of Americas anti-war movement, his administration seems set on continuing many of the illegal, repressive policies of the disgraced Bush White House that it had vowed to end: torture, kidnapping, wiretapping, assassinations, Constitutional infringements, denial of due process.
What happened to the Obama who was supposed to bring change? Leftover hardliners from the Bush days appear to be driving Obamas foreign policy in the Middle East and Afghanistan. The Pentagon warns that a defeat of Nato in Afghanistan will destroy the alliance the foundation of US hegemony over Europe. After Iraq, another defeat cannot be tolerated.
Soviet veterans of Afghanistan warn the US and its allies face defeat there. The Obama White House cannot even articulate a coherent political strategy for Afghanistan. Its latest big idea is to kick out the hapless Hamid Karzai and install a new asset. Washington hopes US troop reinforcements will finally bludgeon the Afghan national resistance into accepting American domination. Then the long-planned pipeline from the Caspian Basin across Afghanistan to Pakistan can finally be built.
Dont count on it anytime soon.
