Pakistan Becoming a Problem

Mike Rivero of pegged it!

He said you would start seeing stories either demonizing or stating how urgent the situation is in Pakistan.

U.S. must not like the peace talks or wants to get troops in there.

I'll post some of the Zio-prop, but please see it for the Muslim bashing garbage it is.


"Taliban imperil Pakistani city; Militants execute 2 Afghan captives" by Jane Perlez, New York Times News Service | June 28, 2008

'nuff said!

PESHAWAR, Pakistan - In the last two months, Taliban militants have suddenly tightened the noose on this city of 3 million people, one of Pakistan's biggest, establishing bases in surrounding towns and, in daylight, abducting residents for ransom.

Isn't that kind of an oxymoron?

Or is the suddenness just the "reporting?"

I also sense an agenda being pushed.

The militants move unchallenged out of the lawless tribal region, just 10 miles away, in convoys of heavily armed, long-haired and bearded men. They have turned up at courthouses in nearby towns, ordering judges to stay away.

On Thursday, they stormed a women's voting station on the city outskirts, and they are regularly kidnapping people from the city's bazaars and homes. There is a feeling that the city gates could crumble at any moment.

The threat to Peshawar is a sign of the Taliban's deepening penetration of Pakistan and of the expanding danger the militants present to the entire region, including nearby supply lines for NATO and US forces in Afghanistan.

For the United States, the major supply route for weapons for NATO troops runs from the port of Karachi to the outskirts of Peshawar and through Khyber Pass to the battlefields of Afghanistan. Maintaining that route would be difficult if the city was significantly infiltrated by the very militants who want to defeat the NATO war effort across the border.

That's the real reason this is "news" in the Zionist War Daily: WE LOSIN'!!

In another sign of the power of local Taliban forces in the border tribal areas, Pakistani militants yesterday executed two Afghan prisoners in front of thousands of cheering supporters near Khar, beheading one man and shooting the other after accusing them of aiding a US missile strike.

Too bad American citizens don't do that to all the Israeli spies we got around here. Bet that kind of treatment would clear 'em out fast! Running home to Iz-ray-HELL!

NATO and US commanders have complained for months that the government's policy of negotiating with militants has led to more cross-border attacks in Afghanistan by Taliban based in the tribal areas.

And CUI BONO from all these horror stories?

I just don't believe them anymore, readers; not coming from a lying, shit NaZionist War Daily!

But the brazen campaign of intimidation in Peshawar, just 90 minutes by highway from the capital, Islamabad, shows that the Taliban threat now cuts deeply on both sides of the border, not just with suicide bombings but also with the persistent presence of militants among the population.

Translation: Our MASS-MURDER, TORTURE and support of STOOGE DICTATORS (plus the wholesale murder of families, use of chemical weapons, etc) hasn't won over the "hearts and minds" of the people!

Would it win yours, shit-eating 'murkn?

In this hard-boiled provincial capital, the fear is palpable. Many of the rich have fled their mansions and left for Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

"If this trend continues, there will be complete peace because the city is under the Taliban, or civil war because of the fighting," said Samullah Shinwari, 31, the father of four children, who is selling his lucrative shopping mall and two ancestral family homes, and moving to Islamabad, the capital.

Time to TALK then!

But no, the U.S. doesn't talk to anyone -- not when war profits are to be had!


"Pentagon says Taliban attacks to rise; States insurgents have regrouped" by Lolita C. Baldor, Associated Press | June 28, 2008

WASHINGTON - The Taliban has regrouped after its fall from power in Afghanistan and the pace of its attacks is likely to increase this year, according to a Pentagon report that offers a dim view of progress in the nearly seven-year-old war.

I thought we were winning?

And isn't a "dim view" of "progress" a REGRESSION?

Gotta love the way they write this stuff!

Noting that insurgent violence has climbed, the report said that despite US and coalition efforts to capture and kill key leaders, the Taliban is likely to "maintain or even increase the scope and pace of its terrorist attacks and bombings in 2008."

The Taliban, it said, has "coalesced into a resilient insurgency." At the same time, the Afghan Army and national police are progressing slowly and still lack the trainers they need.

The report was released yesterday along with a separate plan for the development of Afghan security forces. They are the first two comprehensive Pentagon reports to evaluate progress in Afghanistan.

Vast problems - corruption, the illegal poppy trade, human rights abuses, and slow progress in reconstruction - were detailed, as well as the struggle to train and equip the Afghan Army and police.

The report described a dual terror threat in Afghanistan that includes the Taliban in the south, and "a more complex, adaptive insurgency" in the east. That fragmented insurgency is made up of groups ranging from Al Qaeda and Afghan warlords such as Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's radical Hezb-i-Islami group to Pakistani militants such as Jaish-e-Mohammed.

Please see: Meet Mr. Blowback, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar

"The US government has designated Jaish-e-Mohammed a terrorist organization. Michel Chossudovsky has exposed this network.... Through the ISI, a branch of the CIA, US-allied Pakistan has promoted secessionist movements in India for decades. The ISI has been instrumental in the creation and ongoing guidance of the militant Islamic groups, including "al-Qaeda" terror cells."

Insurgents will continue to challenge the government in southern and eastern Afghanistan, and they may also move to increase their power in the north and west, the report predicted.

The US military in Afghanistan said yesterday that one member of the US-led coalition was killed and five more wounded in the west of the country. Two Afghan Army soldiers also were wounded in the clash Thursday during a reconnaissance patrol in the Gulistan district of Farah Province.

The Pentagon report was pessimistic as it described efforts to train the army and police.

So we have been lied to all this time, huh?

Sigh!
