Pakistan cuts supply lines to NATO. US intends to escalate Pakistan’s destabilization. Now Russia holds the Afghan cards.
Either Pakistan and Russia are working together, or an act of God put all the power in Russia’s hands.It was the Neocon ’special forces’ that went into Pakistan that caused the Pakistani reaction. Which now puts NATO’s entire Afghan mission at the mercy of the Russians.. Clearly Pakistan and Russia talk to each other, almost all countries do. They are both (& most of the world) pissed off with the Neocons. The Neocons are looking like the Keystone cops. Unfortunately they are lethal. A good global chess player would suggest Pakistan close its supply lines to NATO.

Pakistan cuts supply lines to NATO troops in AfghanistanIn a move seen as the latest fallout from Wednesday morning’s US attack on South Waziristan, the Pakistani government has ordered that supply lines to NATO troops in Afghanistan be immediately severed for an indefinite period of time. The move comes as thousands of protesters marched through South Waziristan’s capital of Wana chanting “death to America”. Officials cited repeated attacks which had made it difficult to provide security for transportation across the only border crossing, but Pakistani media cited other sources who said the move came as the government feared retaliation from South Waziristan tribesmen if they didn’t respond to the US attack. The strike, which was the first confirmed use of US ground forces in Pakistan since the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan, killed 20 civilians and received widespread condemnation in Pakistan’s government. American officials have suggested that the attack is just the first of many cross-border missions to be expected in the coming months, as the US has expressed growing discontent with Pakistan’s inability to control its long and mountainous border with Afghanistan. The Defense Minister of key NATO ally Germany was also critical of the US attack during his visit to Pakistan, and warned that “Pakistan’s territorial integrity has to be respected”. With Pakistan’s sole ground link to Afghanistan now closed to them, NATO may be more reliant than ever on Russia for the transportation of non-military supplies to the war-torn country at a time when US-Russian relations are at a post-Cold War low. And while Russia has promised not to block NATO’s overland transport, President Bush’s threat to “punish” Moscow over the recent war with Georgia may put the route in further jeopardy. .Pakistan’s ambassador to the US:
By Paul Eckert, Asia Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept 5 (Reuters) he said the U.S. commandos took “no one significant” and he warned that such actions “do the work of the militants by creating more support for them among the people.” . Description of attack:
The attack was unprovoked. US troops landed by helicopter in the village of Jalal Khei in South Waziristan at around 3 a.m. and immediately targeted three houses. The engagement lasted for about 30 minutes and left between 15 and 20 people dead, including women and children. US official acknowledged to CNN that there may have been women and children in the immediate vicinity but when the mission began “everyone came out firing from the compound”. Even this flimsy justification for a naked act of aggression is probably a lie. “It was very terrible as all of the residents were killed while asleep,” a villager Din Mohammad told the Pakistan-based International News. The newspaper provided details of the dead and injured: nine family members of Faujan Wazir, including four women, two children and three men; Faiz Mohammad Wazir, his wife and two other family members; and Nazar Jan and his mother. Two other members of Nazar Jan’s family were seriously wounded. The US and international media have described the Angoor Adda area around the village as “a known stronghold of the Taliban and Al Qaeda” but offered no evidence to support the claim. A villager, Jabbar Wazir, told the International News: “All of those killed were poor farmers and had nothing to do with the Taliban.” In comments to the International Herald Tribune, a senior Pakistani official branded the raid a “cowboy action” that had failed to capture or kill any senior Al Qaeda or Taliban leader. “If they had gotten anyone big, they would be bragging about it,” he commented. [...] This following paragraph sums up the entire Neocon strategy. The Neocons do not want any friends in the tribal areas, they want all of them to be enemies. The greater goal is too destabalise Pakistan, and break it down, and break it into smaller pieces. And to rid it of nuclear weapons. Pure oppression, just as Israel is accused of using on the Palestinians, and like the US uses in Iraq. War crimes, False flags & innocents suffering. .Pakistan’s Military reaction:
Pakistani military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said the raid was “completely counterproductive” and risked provoking an uprising even among those tribesmen who have previously supported the army’s operations in the border areas. The International News reported: “Angry villagers later blocked the main road between Pakistan and Afghanistan in Angoor Adda by placing the bodies of their slain tribesmen on the road. They chanted slogans against the US and NATO military authorities for crossing the border without any provocation and killing innocent people.” Again the next paragraph emphasizes what the Neocons want! Mission accomplished. They want the situation to escalate, and they do not want Pakistan in control of its Nukes. Can the Neocons sustain so much provocation worldwide at the same time as a failing economy? German defense Ministers reaction:
Also on Friday, the chairman of Pakistan’s Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, General Tariq Majid, told visiting German Defense Minister Franz Josef Jung that “Pakistan reserves the right to appropriately retaliate in future” in response to cross-border strikes carried out by NATO forces in Afghanistan. Jung later told German reporters “I think it is important that Pakistan fights against militants in its territory on its own. We should not conduct military operations from the Afghan side. Pakistan’s territorial integrity needs to be respected.“ The Pakistani parliamentary motion threatening to repel a further US raid “with full force” is a gesture. But one that speaks to the depth of the popular opposition to the United States and the elite’s apprehensions and resentments over Washington’s bullying. Source SOS = Save our Souls. The murderous Neocons failed in Georgia, now they try in Pakistan. The methodology is always the same; to attack civilians thereby provoking a military response. And create sectarian conflict: |
