Though he was less specific about his plans in Pakistan than when he unveiled his March escalation, President Obama is poised to use the escalation of the Afghan War as an excuse to further escalate the Pakistan War as well.
Amid the vagaries of his speech, Obama made it clear that the Af-Pak philosophy of viewing the conflict in Afghanistan as inextricably linked to the conflict in Pakistan is alive and well, and behind the scenes he is said to have already authorized an expansion of America’s strikes in Pakistan.
Convincing the Pakistani government to go along with the conflict in the face of growing popular distrust is easier said than done, but the strategy of forever pressing Pakistan to “do more” seems to already be going into high gear.
Since taking office President Obama has dramatically increased the number and severity of the drone strikes against northern Pakistan. He is, however, being pressed to expand the strikes into Balochistan.
By escalating the conflict in Afghanistan, and fomenting a war with Pakistan Obama is simply following through with the neo-con PNAC plan, as predicted, on behalf of the Zionists, the people who put him into office.
since 9/11 nothing has changed…
this was the free-pass to enter everywhere….
and in his last speech Obama says it again:
"In the face of war, you believe there can be peace. In the face of politics that shut you out, that told you to settle, that devided us for too long, you believe we can be one people"
brainwash…. the truth is:
so now Obama has over 100.000 soldiers in Afghanistan…
not even Bush dared to send so many troops….
there is no thread of Pakistan or Afghanistan right now…
AND 9/11 was an inside job!
Thank you sicofusa for keeping us on-topic and focused….. Yeah, pres; "O" has used his gift to expand the injustice, the meyham and the abusive edge of "American Exceptionalism" and YES
Thank You for putting the lie to 911… It's shadow is the enabling of all the worst abuses of us and everyone… It has become a license to murder rape and rob……and take our rights when we gripe..
If the idea is to destabilize Pakistan, it is working. But, what we mere mortals do not know is what is the purpose? And where will we go from there — India? China? the 'stan republics?
