Re: Kamra Airbase attacked

Conspiracy theories! Hmmm, what are conspiracy theories by the way? What was the war on Iraq all about? Was it also a conspiracy theory?

911 happened, within 24 hours US declared that the culprit was alqaeda. Within a month Afghanistan was attacked. No planning done before hand, with the result the terrorists just crossed the borders into Pakistan as the Afpak border was not guarded. An interesting thing is that Pakistan has arrested most of the high profile leaders who were allegedly part of 911 planning, but their prosecution has not even properly started yet, punishing them is a far off thing.

Pakistan was pushed to go for operations in Fata, and we also obliged without planning as well. War was unleashed against whole tribes in the presence of FCR, lo and behold TTP was formed in 2007. Pakistan started operations in SWA and Mohmand and US removed their troops from the border providing them sanctuaries in Eastern Afghanistan.

As far as this mythical haqqani network is concerned, it is responsible for 10 percent of the violence in Afghanistan, it’s strange that the Americans want to negotiate with those who are responsible for the bulk of violence and not them. The Americans want Pakistan to do their bidding and carry out drone strikes at the same time which has pushed majority of the public into the Anti American camp.

The US policy during this war is totally confused, on the one side they want Pakistan to help them ending this war and on the other sides carrying out drone strikes there (reducing the capacity of the government to convince the people), they want a negotiated end to the war and declaring Haqqani network as a terrorist organization, they want Pakistan to act against the terrorist sanctuaries in the country and they themselves are providing sanctuaries to TTP in Eastern Afghanistan. All these actions are sending confusing signals to the stake holders in this war.

Anyways, due to US policies in the region we have got TTP now and we will have to deal with it somehow, and how that can be done with unsecure border with Afghanistan is the real question.

As soon as I saw what happened on 9/11, I knew with almost 100% certainty that Osama Bin Laden was behind it.

As for Iraq War, that was a pet project for the Neo-cons to reshape the entire middle east in Jeffersonian Style democracy. I was totally against that stupid war.

As for TTP, they are based in North Waziristan, when US withdrew troops from some areas of Eastern Afghanistan which are uninhabited, as they were needed in Southern Afghanistan to carry out the Surge in Summer 2010, its then that some TTP moved to Afghanistan.

So before some of them moved there, the conspiracy theory was that US Drones are only targeting Afghan Taliban Terrorists in North Waziristan and not Pakistani Taliban in North Waziristan. Then when US drones took out Meshud and other high ranking members of the Pakistani Taliban, the conspiracy theory was US is being fooled by ISI into killing these guys. Then when US surge happened, some of Afghan and Pakistani Taliban moved to that area, then the conspiracy theory was that USA is now openly supporting the TTP starting in 2011.

Is it any wonder why everyone laughs at Pakistanis when they make such absurd claim.
