In the complicated calculus of the men who would plan our destinies for us, if we would only let them, it is often hard to fathom which line of reasoning represents their dominant thinking on any strategic subject. In Afghanistan and in Pakistan, it is getting harder to distinguish between the minimum acceptable goals for the Empire and less-desirable, though ultimately acceptable conditions for ending the war. In particular, thinking of the “pipeline wars” (which American corporations seem to be losing, badly), if America is projected to fail miserably in its plans for Central and South Asia, then what secondary objectives is the Empire preparing for the region?
Could it be possible that the rationale for the US terror war is falling apart so quickly since the big production in Abbottabad, that the secondary objective of playing spoiler for the winners in the energy war is replacing the primary mission of Central Asian energy-looting as America’s military solution for economic salvation? The war itself is unsustainable, absent the collective will of the American people to wage this war without a valid reason, or foreseeable end, the 911 attacks having been replaced long ago with whatever excuse Obama wanted to use as justification.
On top of this, the bin Laden psyop is having the unintended consequence of undermining support for continuing the war and increasing the public uproar to find an end to this war that now has no adversary, in the absence of a terrorist mastermind. It is slowly winding-down to total defeat for the United States, absent another earth-shattering unifying, “Pearl Harbor-like event” in the near future. What will the American administration do to sustain this unpopular war? How far will they go to keep the Afghan/Pakistan war going? Read More
**My Comment:
**For us Pakistanis it is unfortunate to witness this wave of destruction that has engulfed entire nation.
In order for Pakistan to be able to endure through this wave of deliberate destruction of the whole nation by these unwanted foreign elements and to be able to successfully eradicate these covert operations against Pakistan and her good folks, there is a dire need for a stringent system of measures maintained by governmental authority at our ports, at our frontiers and even at our neighborhoods with everything that is pertinent, appropriate and available.
The nation must enforce buffer zones around its borders especially to the east to quarantine our own neck of the woods from this cancer, unfortunately it has to be done against all odds and it has to be done NOW.
