The American Way of Abandonment
Yet never has an ally been more egregiously insulted in wartime than Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s insulting of the Pakistanis on her “fence-mending” trip last week. In a meeting with editors, Hillary was asked why the United States was focusing its Predator strikes in the war on terror so heavily upon Pakistan.
Said Hillary, “Al-Qaida has had safe haven in Pakistan since 2002. … I find it hard to believe that nobody in your government knows where they are and couldn’t get them if they really wanted to.” Continue reading

The Flood of Kabul-Shit – Trigger-Happy in Afghanistan By RICHARD NEVILLE
It sometimes seems that the greater the slaughter of civilians, the louder the praise for the mission. This may be due to guilt. Britain’s Gordon Brown: We are in Afghanistan to purge terrorism. Australia’s Kevin Rudd: Our soldiers are building schools. America’s Barack Obama: This is a war of necessity. The Sydney Morning Herald: The mission is to bolster Afghanistan against Al-Qaeda and to support regional stability in Pakistan.
In October 2001, shortly after the US started its own invasion, the Taliban offered to surrender Osama bin Laden to a third country for trial, so long as the bombing was halted and they were shown evidence of his involvement in 9/11. George Bush’s reply: “There’s no need to discuss innocence or guilt. We know he’s guilty.”
Tosh, the lot of it. The war started as an act of revenge on the perpetrators of the 9/11 tragedy and was not authorized by the United Nations. It took two years and a thousand bloody air strikes before UN Resolution 1510 finally granted the invaders an after-the-fact “legitimacy”. Many legal scholars still regard the invasion as illegal under international law.

Pakistan: Musharraf faces exile in UK after court says emergency rule illegal
Pakistan’s former military ruler Pervez Musharraf faces an extended exile, possibly in Britain, following a court ruling that has paved the way for a possible – although unlikely – treason prosecution.
Celebrating lawyers danced on the steps of the supreme court after a 14-judge bench ruled that Musharraf acted illegally when he suspended the constitution and imposed a six-week period of emergency rule on 3 November 2007. Continue reading

America Seeks To Destroy Pakistan With A Thousand Cuts – Atif Salahuddin
The events of September 11, 2001, have transpired to be a tremendous watershed for Pakistan. Since then Pakistan has followed a trajectory of events that has been almost unprecedented in Pakistan’s history. Yet despite this trajectory being largely plotted by Pakistan’s own rulers the irony is that Pakistan now faces a terrible and perilous situation. Today American warplanes attack Pakistani territory and kill it’s citizens with impunity. Instead of defending Pakistan’s sovereignty against these attacks, the Pakistani government has launched it’s own military operation fighting it’s own people that has displaced over 3.4 million people as Pakistan’s rulers plead they fight for Pakistan’s survival. Moreover random bombings occur in the country that have created a sense of fear in the people. Continue reading

Suicide bomber attacks Pakistani hotel U.S. was to buy
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A massive truck bomb Tuesday struck the only luxury hotel in Peshawar, a volatile city in northwest Pakistan, killing at least 11 and injuring 70, with several foreign nationals among the victims.
The Pearl Continental Hotel has been a landmark in the capital of the North West Frontier Province, and it’s frequented by foreigners on business and protected by tight security. Peshawar’s elite also used the hotel as a meeting and dining place, and at least one provincial minister was among the injured.
McClatchy reported last month that the U.S. government was negotiating to buy the hotel, which would be used to accommodate the city’s Continue reading

The Extremists of Pakistan – Asif Salahuddin
They have no tolerance. They speak, abusively if necessary, and desire little debate in return. They order and demand to be obeyed. They care not of another’s grievance or state of affairs, nor make any effort towards an understanding of such. They choose to remain ignorant of the world around and its realities that impact them. They wish their every whim to be met and every diktat to be followed by all. They are prepared to use violence – brutal, unrelenting and destructive violence – until they get their way. Continue reading

Redefining Pakistan – Asif Salahuddin
The real motives for placing Pakistan in the crosshairs of the Western, indeed American military nexus are however deeper and more complex than that which is being projected across the media in and outside Pakistan alike. Pakistan, and the surrounding areas, are of immense political, economic and military significance, and this is the real impetus behind why the United States today is busy ensnaring Pakistan in its tentacles.

The myth of Talibanistan By Pepe Escobar
