FAILURE and DEFEAT IN AFGHANISTAN, PAYBACK FOR PAKISTAN: “Character assassination” of the army “Murder of Bhutto” and pressure on Pakistan are a desperate attempt to hide the debacle in Afghansitan and save the Mayor of Kabul and Destabilize Pakistan.

UK Defeat in Afghanistan Rudyard Kiplings What Man's burden

Alexander, Mongols, Tsarist Russian, Imperial Britian, Communist USSR all were defeated in Afghansitan.

 FAILURE & DEFEAT IN AFGHANISTAN, PAYBACK FOR PAKISTAN: “Character assassination” of Musharraf to “Assassination of Bhutto” and pre-planned riots in Sindh are a desperate attempt to hide the debacle in Afghansitan and to save the Mayor of Kabul and Destabilize Pakistan.

Dejected and Defeated in Afghanistan

• US Charge of the Light Brigade into Pakistan is a US failure and has to stop

Pakistan is being treated unfiarly while we are the ones who are in the lead role fighting GWOT: Musharraf . If you think the news from Pakistan was bad, read the news on Afghanistan. It is worse! If you think there was turmoil in Pakistan you haven’t seen the turmoil in the administration about its failed policies in South,  and Central Asia and the Middle East. Iraq is a basket case, Iran feels exonerated and probably will be not attacked, Syria is resurgent in Lebanon, Venezuela is increasing its provocative decibel level, the Nuclear deal with India remains unsigned, the Israelis and the Palestinians have not been able to make peace, and Putin is reminding many of the Russian Tsars and the USSR days. To top it all the Taliban are in control of more than 75% of Afghanistan. The “liberation” of Afghanistan was a false chimera and the Afghans have rejected the occupation The “liberated” women in Kabul live under worse conditions than the Taliban.

“Insurgent violence is at its highest level in Afghanistan since US-led forces ousted the Taliban after the September 11, 2001, attacks against the United States. Suicide bombings, for example, have climbed 30% in some areas,” the US military has been quoted as saying.As a matter of fact, the steadily declining security trend is a picture-perfect justification for the review, as a great many within and outside Afghanistan hold the perception that the country stands at a tipping point. Sharif Ghalib Asia Times

There is always the fall guy, someone to blame.

Never see them sweat and never let them know that the policies are wrong. For the failure in the Middle East, blame the Hamas, for the failure in Labanon, blame the Syrians, for the disappointments in Iraq, blame Iran, and for the defeat in Afghanistan, blame Pakistan.

This is just like yesteryear.

For the defeat in Vietnam, blame China, for the problems in Laos, blame Russia, for the jelly resistance in South Vietnam blame the generals, for the defeat of Chain Ka Sheikh blame Russia….

Always generate fear and crisis.

Make them fearful of the hordes that may come over. Make them fearful of “shariah” law as if that is the root of all evil. India allows Shariah law for Muslims, Hindu law for Hindus and Christian law for Christians. The world has not come to an end.

Make them fearful of the Taliban who had eliminated poppy cultivation and were created by the CIA.

Make them fearful of Pakistan…..the so called nuke issue. More than 50,000 army people protect the nukes. The Pakistan army has more than 500,000 professionally trained soldiers that are  one of the best in the world. The rag tag army of “Taliban” may be good at guerilla warefare against the occupiers, but they will have to march and defeat the Pakistan army. An unlikely scenario, but it keeps the CNN ratings high.

…neocon and chief Iraq War propagandist Bill Kristol has been hired by the New York Times as a columnist in 2008. He told Fox News last July, “I think the president’s going to have to take military action there over [in Pakistan] in the next few weeks or months. Bush has to disrupt that [al-Qaeda] sanctuary. I think, frankly, we won’t even tell Musharraf. We’ll do what we have to do in Western Pakistan and Musharraf can say, ‘Hey, they didn’t tell me.’” Notice how he leaves the Pakistani people and their reaction to such “action”—military aggression against a sovereign state— entirely out of the picture.

This is madness compounding madness, offered as respectable commentary in the mainstream press. Gary Leupp Counterpunch

Many Neocons in the establishment still believe that there is a military solution in Afghanistan and the only thing standing between them and “Mission Accomplished” in Kabul is the renegade agents of the ISI or Musharraf’s “duplicity.” This assessment has led many to continue the “character assassination” of Mr. Musharraf and maligning Pakistan for all evils in the world has become a science and an art. The KHAD, RAW directed suicide bombers that stream into Pakistan are a desperate attempt by Mr. Karzai and Kabul to threaten Pakistan and somehow loosen the stranglehold that they have on

“But now some of them are campaigning for intervention in Pakistan to fight the Islamic extremism Bush policy itself daily fosters. This is their madness at its peak. Pakistan is no Iraq, bled for a decade by sanctions before invasion. Nor is it even Iran, hobbled by limited sanctions grudgingly imposed by the world as a result of U.S. arm-twisting. It’s a country of 165 million people twice the size of California, bordering India, China and Iran as well as Afghanistan. Its military is the seventh largest in the world, and of course, possesses nuclear weapons. The top brass, while secular and often western-educated, has strong links to Islamists. Among the masses, admiration for Osama bin Laden is high. Gary Leupp Counterpunch

There is no military solution to Afghanistan. The Pashtuns have to be given power in Afghanistan. OBL could have been eliminate by concerted “Police Action“. The Taliban at the time were ready to give up Mr. Bin Laden. The wholesale bombing of the land has only resulted in further fracture of the country and the emergence of the Narco-terrorist culture that now envelopes the land between the Indus (Darya e Sindh) and the Oxus (Amu Darya).

“For all this, we have to thank George W. Bush. Was his administration unaware of the fact that Islamist militants driven from Afghanistan would receive a welcome across the border?” Gary Leupp Counterpunch

In the aftermath of the 9/11 commission, the Senate Report and the Butler Report in Britain, one wonders how the British could have ruled the world? Such a dramatic  degeneration of genes in the past 100 years surely has long term problems for the world?

“I’m inclined to think Bush may have really thought he could get away with his invasion of Afghanistan (and then Iraq) without producing all this blowback. I’m less inclined to think that the bulk of the neocons (recognizing some differences among them) were so naïve. Frankly, I don’t think they care that much. They’re willing to generate infinite “create chaos” in the Muslim world, repeating on Fox News with their affected learnedness, smug impatience with conventional wisdom, and general contempt for the “reality mode” that things are going well in the “war on terror.” That the U.S. needs to courageously, heroically take further action, such as an attack on Iran, or strikes against targets in Pakistan, to produce more chaos.” Gary Leupp Counterpunch

Seven years later we are aghast. We find out that the CIA and a MI6 that had no clue about an imploding USSR, was totally incapacitated in stopping India and Pakistan from acquiring of Nuclear Weapons, was totally wrong about the Iraqi impotence with reference to weapons of mass destruction; and was unable to predict or halt 9/11 and other Al-Qaida activities in the world

“Did Bush, or the neocons surrounding him and whispering in his ears, expect that the entire Afghan people would be grateful for the U.S. bombing, occupation, restoration of the Northern Alliance and installation of a powerless puppet in Kabul? That the neighboring Pakistanis would share their joy and appreciation for the American presence? That the Taliban would just disappear? That Pakistan’s military and Inter-Service Intelligence (having helped create the Taliban and maintaining warm ties with it, but forced to sever ties with it lest—as the Americans threatened—they be “bombed back to the Stone Age”) would following their about-face eagerly make war on these former allies and coreligionists?” Gary Leupp Counterpunch

Pakistan needs a massive injection of employment creating industries in FATA, and NWFP. Pakistan needs a massive injection of funds to build dams, freeways and new cities. A South Korea type of Pakistan will contain and stabilize Afghanistan and the region.
