US officials have threatened to impose sanctions on the Pakistani government following reports that they intend to construct a natural gas pipeline to neighboring Iran, which would be used to import gas into energy poor Pakistan.
Pakistan has been struggling with energy shortages for years, making rolling blackouts a regular part of life across much of the nation, with many towns seeing electricity at best 8 hours a day.
The US, however, says that their own aid program considers Pakistan’s energy needs a “top priority” and that they should consider buying gas from someplace else, or getting involved in India’s pipeline through Afghanistan.
But US aid has done little for the provision of energy so far, and is constantly being threatened for political gain at any rate. Likewise, rival India is unlikely to allow Pakistan to get involved in their own pipeline scheme even if they wanted to. Iran, then, is the cheapest and most sensible alternative.
David Cohen is an Uber Zionist, one of many who have infiltrated into important positions in the US Government. He is in charge of the US Treasury sanctions office. Most of those sanctions are created because of pressure from Israeli influence on members of Congress.
Four US soldiers were reported killed in Afghanistan today, September 16, by the DOD. Why would this not be news at Anti War? You report the death of a British soldier but have nothing on the seventeen US soldiers that have died this month in Afghanistan. I would like some explanation as to the continued suppression of US combat casualties which are almost never reported here. I have no problem with reporting the death of a British soldier but why are American soldiers combat deaths regularly ignored? I am a US citizen and my fellow citizens are killing Afghans and dying by the dozens each month and the only reportage of combat deaths at AntiWar are "Nato" soldiers and British soldiers, or recently a French soldier. Why are US combat casualties routinely ignored at this site?
I see reports of U.S. casualties all the time here. There's actually a section devoted to reporting the deaths of these criminals. What does your comment have to do with the subject matter of this article?
Four US soldier are reported killed and there is no mention. The reason I used this headline is despite those deaths there were no headlines concerning Afghanistan and the Pakistan is the most directly related subject.
And perhaps they are criminals in some cases but reporting US dead is not a positive for the US military. Finally these deaths are regularly unreported in the main stream corporate press for obvious reasons. They want to keep the ultimate failure of Afghanistan hidden from public scrutiny.
I just seen Mitt Romnys interview on Wolf Blitser and he was taking about how the drive for Palistinian statehood could have been avoided by Obama making it clear that America stands arm and arm with Israel.Guess all there crimes mean nothing.They are terrorists and America is becoming the same.Being a country that occupies several Mid Eastern countrys and kills 100s of thousands of innocent civilians makes them just as bad.Thats why they are most likely the onlt country that wopuld ever think of using VETO power.Wish the world would realize Israel and America are commiting crimes on a daily bases.In America agaionst the constitution that all military and people inm government swear to uphold only to break the law any time they feel fit.
Sorry as for Pakistan America was never your friend they could care less about your energy needs.They have become nothing but users and its way past time the public do something like protest not a couple thousand but millions.Americans all not some but most need to show they do not agree with their governments crimes.If they don't if thing go bad they can't expect mercy.But like Israel and there Sampson Option America probaly has a similar plan if were going down we are taking the woprld with us weasther they have done anything wrong.
