- End of drone supramacy? US spy plan shot down in Pakistan
- US drone shot down not far from ’50s U2 US Badabare base

The War Spreads to Pakistan by Gary Leupp. There are several players in Afghanistan; there are the ISAF and NATO forces; there is the US Army; and there is the CIA. The drone activity in Afghanistan is mainly coordinated and executed by the CIA. Is the CIA sabotaging peace to destabilize Obama? For the first time a CIA drone attacked Bannu which is in the settled areas of Pakistan and not part of FATA. Is the CIA forcing the Pakistanis to shoot down the drones in a bid to escalate a war and give the US Army an excuse to send in the marines. Several months ago, we wrote that Americans are from Mars. Pakistanis are from Venus.

You have to wonder whether the Bush administration understands what it is getting into. In case anyone has forgotten, Pakistan has a hundred plus nuclear weapons. It’s a country on the edge of civil war. Its political leadership is bitterly divided. In other words, it’s the perfect recipe for a catastrophe. All of which begs the question, is it worth the ghost hunt we’ve been on since September 11? There has not been a credible sighting of Osama bin Laden since he escaped from Tora Bora in October 2001. As for al-Qaeda, there are few signs it’s even still alive, other than a dispersed leadership taking refuge with the Taliban. Al-Qaeda couldn’t even manage to post a statement on the Internet marking September 11, let alone set off a bomb. Washington Is Risking War with Pakistan: By Robert Baer Wed, Sep. 17, 2008. Robert Baer, a former CIA field officer assigned to the Middle East, is TIME.com’s intelligence columnist and the author of See No Evil and, most recently, the novel Blow the House Down.
Seven Years in Afghanistan by Gary Leupp. There is a huge disconnect between the State Department, the White House and CIA policy. This lack of communication within the US administration can have catastrophic effects on US long term relationships with its allies. On the one hand are the sane signals emanating out of the Obama team. On the other hand the State Department is trying to keep cool heads. The White House is working hard to help Islamabad. The CIA on the other hand is pursuing a policy that is detrimental to the long term interests of America.
The Pakistan Afghan border map
Just when the Obama administration was showing us the light at the end of the tunnel, the CIA is bent upon provoking the Pakistanis to the bitter end.
The tension between the US and Pakistan is at fever pitch. The Pakistani people are castigating the Army on its impotence for not protecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country. The politicians are playing games with a reported “wink wink nod nod policy” as espoused by the US good cops and US bad cops. While 30,000 Pakistanis have died, anti-Americanism is at an all time high. It is mostly because of the the silly policies of the outgoing government.

A fragile relationship. USA Pakistan divorce
No more ground Attacks in Pakistan: Why did US change its policy?. There is a growing consensus among the top echelon of the the Pakistani security establishment which thinks that the only language the US understands is the language of threats and actual action. They point to the Bush administrations withdrawal of orders which had allowed actual marines to land in Pakistan. Why did Bush back off attacks on Pakistan & change US policy?

Pakistani soldiers practised shooting at pilotless “drone” aircraft on Friday, the military said a day after the government lodged a protest with the U.S. ambassador over drone missile strikes in Pakistani territory.
Anti-aircraft guns and short-range surface-to-air missiles were used during the exercise conducted at a desert range near the city of Muzaffargarh in the central Pubjab province.
“The elements of Army Air Defence demonstrated their shooting skills by targeting the drones flying at different altitudes,” the military said in a statement.
Air defence commander Lieutenant-General Ashraf Saleem praised the “precision and agility” of the gunners.
Pakistan is bristling over a series of missile strikes by U.S. drones targeting al Qaeda and Taliban militants in the lawless tribal regions along the Afghan border in recent weeks.
The U.S. forces have carried out more than 20 such drone attacks in the last three months, reflecting U.S. impatience over militants from Pakistan fuelling the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan and fears that al Qaeda fighters in northwest Pakistan could plan attacks in the West.

Pakistan
The world awaits a different policy from the new American Administration. Obama sees solving Kashmir as the key to Afghan quagmire. The Bush Administration is bent upon leaving a bigger mess for Pakistan. The Obama team is facing its first international crisis. The CIA by attacking Pakistan at an increased pace is leaving a huge mess for the the world to clean up. It is akin to sabotaging the new policy of President Obama.
A U.S. commando raid on September 3 led to a diplomatic storm, and there has not been any subsequent incursion by ground troops.
But the controversy over the drones flared again after the latest missile strike on Wednesday hit a target in Bannu district in North West Frontier Province, deeper inside Pakistani territory and south of the semi-autonomous Waziristan tribal region that has borne the brunt of the attacks.
Protesting the strike in Bannu during a session of the National Assembly, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani voiced hope that the incoming U.S. administration of President-elect Barack Obama would exercise more restraint.
Pakistan says the attacks violate its sovereignty, undermine efforts to win public support for the fight against militancy, and make it harder to justify the U.S. alliance.

Indian foreign policy ship of state crashes into hidden icebergs. Facing a tough international situation, the Indians are taking advantage of the situation in Afghanistan and raining terror on its old rival and nemesis–Pakistan. Pakistani train bombing: Exposed Indian RAW agent outed: RAW indicted in sabatage & hundreds of other explosions in Pakistan killing thousands of innocent civilians.
Nightmare scenario for India in Kabul: The Taliban’s Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
Reeling from a global economic crisis that particularly affected Pakistan, the Islamabd establishment has gotten some breathing space from the IMF, the Saudis and China. Its next challenge is to keep the Indian terrorists from crossing the Afghan border and raining a trail of blood sweat and tears on Pakistan.
The story of Afghanistan and colonialism begins a long time ago. British tried to take up White Man’s burden in Afghanistan. It suffered badly in Kabul and could not hold it. NATO Lessons: 1880 UK defeat at Maiwand-Afghanistan. Today ISAF is making the same mistakes as the British did more than a century ago. Is NATO committing suicide in Afghanistan? There is a powerplay going on. …the CIA assassination. Juggling all the permutations and the permutations, the US has considered every possibility. However the most obvious one escapes the $80 Billion think tank industry in the USA. Saving the Pashtuns of Afghania from Afghanistan. Eradicating the Pashtun plight and ending occupation.

Laden's secure mountain hideout?
In US Presidential elections Mr Barack Obama got a splendid slide victory not on the bases of giving out his new foreign policies or the miasma of Iraq war or for that matter his purported resolve toward war on terror. The results show that 67% people voted him for his given promise to change and bring about the socio economic reforms that people were fed up with the out going Bush administration who are leaving them and their country in such a mess. Votes counted toward foreign policy or the War against terror are about 7% each only.
This is an era of people having the controls on the energy resources and people with ability to innovate. America has got the both. One may curse George W Bush to any extent; that mad man was a tyrant; a criminal and oppressor. But he was tyrant, criminal or oppressor for whom? Not for American. He proved to be oppressor of the oppressors, where he flexed his muscles to expand the American hegemony; primarily in the lands with economic resources and other control points and venues. Those people may say they have been subjugated and victimised by George W Bush. But basing on the achievements for American he is the hero for his nation.
However he and his party; conservatives in any case have not been rejected by American masses in this elections for their foreign policy or the war against terrorism. The American masses they very well know that Iraq war or the war against terrorism are just the phoney wars; basing on lies and deception. This war called as Global war against terrorism is just an enabling tool to push forward the U.S planned hegemony in the light of neoconservative Project for the New American Century, whose radical agenda was adopted by the Bush/Cheney administration. The subject project is American national project which has the due support of Barack Obama and the Democrats. Goals of this policy and achievements there of, are as sacred for Democrats, as are for Conservatives.
So; we may see a change or say reforms in the American socio-economic fields with in the country but there may not be any change in the policy of the set American national goals in the field of foreign policy where huge achievements of George W Bush are being relished and haled truly and duly. The entire Middle East and central Asia are practically in U.S. fold; it is meeting both aforesaid ends of U.S. ‘control of economic resources’ as well as ‘Innovation ability’; and the king makers and proxy countries found in the area of U.S. operations like; Pakistan are ready to serve her majesty U.S…. so willingly.
