US commander in Afghanistan General David Petraeus is the latest to offer a hint that the administration is about to begin launching cross border raids into Pakistan, calling for attacks on both sides of the porous border.
Petraeus insisted in his comments that the administration was planning to “do more hammer and anvil operations” and that much more needed to be done in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan.
Though the administration has been pressuring Pakistan to launch more offensives there constantly, it seems the Pakistani military is about at its limits, and with little to show for it reports have been flying that the US is looking to start its own cross border raids, despite opposition from the Pakistani government.
Of course the US already kills several hundred people annually in FATA by way of CIA drone strikes, and the administration has been looking to expand those as well, but it seems that the near term goal is to move beyond CIA assassins and into overt military operations, regardless of the deleterious effects such actions may have on US-Pakistani relations.
americans are ma<d and are criminals to attack international borders but hope to get good results and more americans will be killed and this dirty work pakistan army don,t need to do.
Americans are frustrated and criminal to kill innocent pakistanis for their hegomony. We are sorry to say we are in 21century. God may give sense to americans that they can,t win a war in a terrotery with lies and killings but hope Allah will punish americans for their lies around the world.
This man – Petreaus – is a war criminal and together with Obama, Clinton and Gates should be hung for war crimes for the sake of all humanity.
Only then will the souls of the thousands murdered by them at last rest in peace.
