Theme-Game in Afghanistan

Pakistan will defend its sovereignty at all costs as the situation in Afghanistan is getting complex, Pakistan’s military high command considers that terrorism in Pakistan is fueled due to porous Pakistan-Afghan border which is not adequately sealed. Pakistan is also being pressurized to seal off Pak-Afghan border. Project that sealing the border is not only the responsibility of Pakistan. Gen Kayani was satisfied with the military and stabilization operation being carried out in FATA to restore and sustain peace. Pakistan would not tolerate any incursion on its territory.

US insistence for an early operation against Haqqani Network in North Waziristan is uncalled as Pakistan Army has its own priorities and compulsions. It will act against the militants at a time of its own choosing after assessing its national interest but there is no doubt on Pakistan’s commitment and efforts to establish peace in Afghanistan.

Pakistan has no such desire and General Kayani has our rightly rejected such misleading perception reiterating that Pakistan fully supports peace and stability in Afghanistan. The Pakistan Army Chief significantly maintained that US has been informed that Pakistan does not require any military aid.
General Kayani has reassured that Pakistan has no intention of launching an armed action in North Wairistan and there is no question of a compromise on national honor in developing relations with the US.
Us is playing a double in Afghanistan, blaming Pakistan for allegedly providing sanctuaries to Taliban who attack US/ISAF in Afghanistan while supporting the anti-Pakistan – Taliban (TTP) to undertake terrorist activities inside Pakistan.

Recent US focus on Haqqani Network appears to be a part of bigger scapegoat scheme perceived by US military high command and CIA to save their face and insinuate against Pakistan Army and ISI. It is unbelievable to see US asserting that Haqqani Network is the only hurdle against victory in Afghanistan or the only reason for US failure.

US has seriously destabilized Pakistan in the process and it seems that Pakistan would have to face more grave problems once US exits from Afghanistan. US allegations against Pakistan Government, Army, ISI appear to be based on psychological campaign aimed at giving divisive messages, in which embarrassing and well coined information is given forcing the target audience to respond or engage in desired activities.
Indo-Afghan strategic partnership in a US scheme to position India in Afghanistan with strategic advantage not only to bring Indian boots on Afghan soil but also to encircle Pakistan and be able to check China. India would also be engulfed by terrorism, as Indian boots in Afghanistan would provide a good reason for Taliban to plan their operation in Kashmir as a retaliation measure. Indian soil will not remain safe of terrorism as war against terrorism will spread to India and other regional countries. Hence, US must not allow Indian boots inside Afghanistan.

Stability in Afghanistan will remain a far possibility till all the stake holders including Pashtuns and Talibans are brought to one page. At the same time concerns of regional states like Pakistan, Iran and China also need to be addressed through a cool thought out process rather than using sizzling arrogance of Power.
As per Mathew Rosenberg’s report (Wall Street Journal), US held secret meeting with Afghan Taliban (Haqqani Network). The meeting was held month before the Sep 13 attack on US embassy in Kabul This indicates that on one hand US publically scorns Haqqani group for violence in Afghanistan and also accuse ISI for supporting them and on the other hand US is making behind the scene efforts to negotiate with Taliban including Haqqani group,. While Siraj Haqqani, so of Jalaludding Haqqani , in a BBC interview, categorically denied taking orders from ISI. He also said Americans were in touch with him to persuade him to enter into talks with Afghan Government. It needs media coverage.

CIA along with Indian RAW are involved to create conditions in Karachi, Baluchistan and FATA to destabilize Pakistan. US agents have connections with Pakistani Taliban who not only launch attacks inside Pakistani soil but also undertake other terrorist activities to cause damage to Pakistan. Such acts of sabotage and terrorism are openly sponsored by CIA, which indicate double game being played by USA.
Afghan Defense Minister General Abdur Rahimullah Yousafzai Wardik’s statement that the attack on Burhanuddin Rabbani was planned in Quetta and that suicide bomber, Ismatullah, was a Pakistani from the border town of Chaman but what about attacks of armed groups of militants inside Pakistani territory enjoy protection and sponsorship of US / NATO forces?

Strategic Partnership agreement between Afghanistan and India has decisively put India in the center stage of endgame in Afghanistan as it awaits US / NATO to pull out of that country by 2014. Project that US is using this war to make India a regional power, besides pursuing her regional goals to be achieved. Pakistan’s concern that India is storing enough water to limit the supply to Pakistan where water is used as a “common resource”.

Pakistan can never be Madina E Saani

By Nadeem Sajjad. Pakistan is a land loved by many and lived in by millions. It has been witnessed in the past --and somewhat in the present age – that the origin of the name (word) “Pakistan” has had many different accounts of its creators/inventors. Known to be the most accurate of all accounts, is the one of the much respected Chaudhry Rehmat Ali. Others have the concept that the word “Pakistan” was given to the Muslims of India, after the success of Lahore resolution in 1940, by the Hindus of the subcontinent and was then used by Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in his presidential address to the All India Muslim League annual session at Delhi on 24 April 1943. Whatever may be the origin, the Muslims got their own land to practice their religion Islam, and to maintain their traditions. The thing that should be emphasized upon is that the country was created in the name of Islam.  Knowing the origin is one thing, but naming the country or the name itself to something els...

What about Israel’s nuclear weapons?

By   Patrick B. Pexton Readers periodically ask me some variation on this question: “Why does the press follow every jot and tittle of Iran’s nuclear program, but we never see any stories about Israel’s nuclear weapons capability?” It’s a fair question. Going back 10 years into Post archives, I could not find any in-depth reporting on Israeli nuclear capabilities, although national security writer  Walter Pincus  has touched on it  many times in his articles and  columns . I spoke with several experts in the nuclear and nonproliferation fields , and they say that the lack of reporting on Israel’s nuclear weapons is real — and frustrating. There are some obvious reasons for this, and others that are not so obvious. First, Israel refuses to acknowledge publicly that it has nuclear weapons. The U.S. government also officially does not acknowledge the existence of such a program. Israel’s official position, as reiterated by Aaron Sagui, spokesman fo...

Muslim Pages on Facebook | What Happened To You ???

I was prompted to highlight this issue because people were going crazy on the social media specially facebook over the blasphemous anti-Islamic film.  Yes, the film is blasphemous and the makers of the film should be punished because there is a clear difference between freedom of speech and hate speech. But the thing that I am going to highlight is the pictures that are being spread all over the facebook, for example have a look at this one: Translates : Hitler writes in his book My Struggle that "If I had wanted I could have killed all the jews of the world but I left a few for the world to know why I killed them" Now, the book My Struggle was published in 1924 and the Holocaust happened in 1930, how could Adolf Hitler wrote about Holocaust six years prior to its happening ? Take a look at this picture:  Does the maker of this photo even know that it was Hitler's holocaust that led the zionists accelerate their activities in getting a homeland ? N...
