The Obama Administration has threatened to end billions of dollars in American aid to Pakistan if the Zardari government does not do something about claims that the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Agency has been backing the Taliban.
Perhaps the most fascinating part of this is that the threat seems to be the first fallout from the WikiLeaks release of some 92,000 Afghan War related US documents.
Yet these documents were all between 1-6 years old, and while the leak was new the public it cannot have possibly been new for the Obama Adminstration. Officials must surely have been aware of all of this evidence over the past weeks, as they arrived in Pakistan to pledge large increases in aid.
Afghan officials for their part condemned Pakistan, though the ISI itself angrily shot back that the US allegations were “mostly from Afghan intelligence, so you can imagine their credibility.” The US documents detail a number of alleged ISI plots, including a claimed plot to poison all the beer in Afghanistan to kill Western troops.
Do I get it right? Papers from the American “administration” contains something which the dumber part of the American population might be shocked from. Then it is declared that this is the fault of some kind from the Pakistan administration. And to correct that, the Pakistan population is to be punished.?
Now that I have revealed this analysis, I wonder if my country (Denmark) will be held responsible for this problem, or Antiwar.com for allowing it on it’s website, or perhaps they will punish the Americans that developed the internet?
Or why not go kill themselves, which seems the shortest, most logical, and easiest way to punish these evils. At least it would lessen the proportion of evil-doers in this world to benefit for all of mankind.
