Though officials were quick to point out that it had not yet been formally approved, top US commanders are pressing the Obama Administration to allow the massive escalation of ground raids against Pakistan’s tribal areas, turning what has been a secret (albeit poorly kept) war into an extremely overt one.
The Previous ground raids into Pakistan have sparked massive outcry in the nation and have done major damage to the Zardari government, which is seem almost universally as a US puppet. If indeed the Obama Administration makes invasions of Pakistani soil a “routine” part of their policy, one can only imagine the deleterious effect it will have on the already struggling Pakistani government.
But for officials, it seems like escalation is the only path available. Despite the public (and absurd) claims of progress the situation in Afghanistan is getting dramatically worse, and the popular sentiment among top commanders, at least so far as can be gleaned from leaked reports, is that the Pakistani tribal areas are the source of all their problems.
Which is ironic, because Pakistan’s military sees southern Afghanistan, itself scarcely controlled by NATO’s occupation forces, as the chief reason its constant invasions of the tribal areas never amount to much. With neither side willing to consider anything else, escalation has become the default response to all failure, which in the disastrous Afghan War happens an awful lot.
With US officials suddenly talking about 2014 as the “end” of the war it seems that a massive escalation and a whole new front for combat would be seriously hypocritical. This does not, however, preclude the administration from rubber stamping the plan, as it has virtually every other plan that came out of the military involving escalation.
IthinkPakistan letamerican forces allow and withdraw their troops to Indian borders just to save thelifes of Pakistani soldiers.__We know that american die in nummers.__Zardari isa traitor there is no doubt because of his assets in US and corruption.
We will have no problems with our people and army and ISI have to fight only RAW and Mussaad and CIA agents
New decade starting up. Maybe Obomber can set new goals for US "foreign policy" in the upcoming decade to invade all of the oil rich Arab countries at once. If nothing else, it will get the US a new record in the Guinness World of Warmongering & Stupidity and ensure that the Empire is caput before the anticipated deadline of 2012.
What greater gift could hardcore religious extremists wish for than a clumsy and largely ineffectual Christian army utterly infuriating the populace of the world's only Islamic nation with nuclear weapons. Afghani and Pakistani militants have only to wait for the next American outrage to either topple or co-opt the government of Pakistan. All of which will play into the hands of the Neo-cons and the Israelis who will start shrieking for some insane escalation– to which I say, good, send us 10,000 Israeli troops so we can see how they do against someone other than hungry, desperate and downtrodden Palestinians. If Hezbollah freaked the Israelis out one can only imagine the effect the Afghanis will have on them. Of course any chance of the Israelis putting their chips where their mouths are is highly remote.
Look people: this US and EU militarism plan invading Pakistan is been on the table for sometimes
which in reality it means that if and when they invade Pakistan then they are not going to move out of that country and they are going to be stationery as in Iraq and what the plan is. Which conclude the US and EU militarism regimes in occupying the entire Middle East and Central Asia from Mediterranean sea to the end of Persian Gulf.., African horn countries and beyond.., if that happens then you should prepare yourself for the real 3rd world war..! this would start with North Korea, China and whoever is located out there but not occupied. This agenda was said and put into practice by no less then Bill Clinton and Madeline Albright when she said.., “what is good in having this mighty army if we can not use it“.., or when she was asked about 1 million Iraqi children been dying due to the sanctions… “is worth the price“… wakeup people.
The fools never realize they have lost until it's too late. In this case, their arrogance blinds them, and that is good. The British up to the last moment thought they were still a superpower until the Suez crisis finally put them in their place. I am expecting anxiously some good put-down on the Americans one day in the near future. Will it be the Chinese? I don't know and I don't care, but it will happen.
