Wake Up Pakistan

Submitted by on September 10, 2009 – 9:23 pm15 Comments
Wake Up Pakistan

Muslims all over the world lived in somewhat peace before the fateful day of September 11th 2001, distinctively called 9/11.

On September 11th, 2001, WTC, The World trade centre’s twin towers in New York City were hit by a low flying passenger aircraft that “imploded” the majestic towers.

The world is commemorating the dreadful incident in which 3000 people lost their lives.

The tragedy of 9/11 changed the whole world, for Muslims it changed their lives, the way they were treated, the way they were received by other religions, the way they travelled and the way they lived.

Pakistan has paid the heaviest price than any other country in the aftermath of the tragedy. Pakistan is alleged to be a safe haven for the Taliban but its geographical and strategic importance for the west especially America, is in all probability more important than any other factor.

Pakistan was forced into the so called War on Terror to eliminate the Muslim extremist said to be operating from Pakistan and Pak-Afghan border tribal areas. Pakistan was threatened to co-operate or else it would be taken back to the Stone Age. Pakistan has lost far more than 3000 lives since then, it is trodden between the Taliban and the Americans’ meddling in Pakistan as well as Afghanistan.

Pakistan has hit its saturation point. Americans’ frustration is at its peak. It is now evident to the world that the NATO forces have failed in Afghanistan, therefore the last ditch effort to uproot the surge of the Taliban is now under progress but unfortunately for the US, the reluctance of the NATO allies participation in the future is making it more difficult for the US to stay in Afghanistan and win. Canada has announced to leave by year 2011 and apart from the UK and the USA; no country is willing to carry on the battle in Afghanistan. The military establishment in the west has admitted the fact that any success in Afghanistan will be short lived.

United States has used all possible lines of attack during the past eight years of fighting without any remarkable success, what logical grounds do they have to stay back in Afghanistan? Afghanistan does not have a fully functional government like Iraq therefore with much less troops, how do the NATO forces expect to achieve their goals?
NATO’s disgraceful defeat in Afghanistan, despite full resources and billions of dollars, will further strengthen militants who have apparently no funds shortage from unknown stake holders in the name of Holy War. History is repeating itself and Islamic militants, who have been used by the anti-Islam elements throughout their history, are ready to become a party in another war of the bigwigs and ironically they have no idea about the trap that the big elephants keep setting for them. As a consequence, Muslims all over the world are suffering and facing discrimination almost everywhere. The western media projects Muslims and Islam as terrorists and Muslims have no one to fight their battle. All proxy wars are fought through the media in the current era. Muslims have lost this war.
Unfortunately NATO’s forced or unforced exit or lesser meddling, if not complete exit, in Afghanistan makes Pakistan the next logical battle grounds for USA and the militants. USA’s apprehension and fear of militants getting hold of Pakistan’s nukes is loud and clear, they say they are threatened. North Korea openly declared its nuclear assets but the west and the USA are still eager to sit with them on the table for negotiations. Why does the west have double standards for Muslims, is a question that needs to be answered.
The issue with the west is not the nuclear weapons; the issue is Islamic states having them. Libya was forced to roll back its nuclear program by the Bush administration. Iran has been completely isolated. Threats to ‘teach Iran a lesson” did not work much so the CIA pumped billions of dollars to influence the recent general elections in Iran to make it easier for them to intrude in Iran through their sponsored candidate against president Ahmedenejad. Their dreams and plans obviously shattered after the masses refused to bow to USA. According to a reliable source, Shah Iran’s son was to be brought back to Iran to execute the script, written in Pentagon, to rule Iran.

USA is swiftly expanding its presence in Pakistan, lack of passion and interest to guard the sovereignty and integrity of the nation among our politicians clearly indicates that Pakistan is USA’s next haven after failure in Iraq and Afghanistan. America has learnt its lesson and to cut the losses, they want to play it safer this time. Not only Iran and China would be watched but also the nukes would be under their control. As an added advantage, Pakistan’s secure coastal lines can be used for supplies and strategic control of waterways. USA is watching India too; they are using India to make an ally against China else they are least interested in India although they will ensure to keep a proper check on India after pundits foresee India as a potential economic giant in the future. India has its own ambitions but America will ensure to keep them under strict control.

In the whole process of this power game, the Americans will not think twice even if they have to tear Pakistan apart whenever needed for their own gains. The western media is already doing its job of portraying Pakistan as a failed and terrorist state.

While the threat of non-war invasion of Pakistan seems apparent, our so-called and accidental leaders are busy stripping each other on issues and chain of events that took place more than two decades ago. An average Pakistani is suffering and fighting the battle of survival. It is about time that we wake up, wake up from the dream of prosperity and harmony that is promised to us by every tried and tested leader. It is about time we start demanding Pakistan’s sovereignty to be guarded by those who care for this country. Wake up and prove that from this soil not only chaos can arise; it also produced those who can beget revolution. Lets us fight the battle of freedom to free our country from the west and their local agents.

    Who do you expect to wake up? na sugar na atta na bijli na do waqt ki roti….how can you expect such people to wake up and fight for freedom?

    • Observer says:

      It is excactly as intended. The poor should continously worry about roti, kaprha aur makaan and discuss the rocketing inflation…..never have sufficient time/ressources to think of anything else…least about kicking out the incompetent “leaders”.

  • afzaalkhan says:

    well its either we worry abt sugar aata and stuff or we worry abt this. Cuz if we loose pak then wat we going through will be nothing compare to wat we will be facing.

  • Observer says:

    Sometimes death comes all of sudden. Why has our leaders “forgotten” that they will not live for ever and will be accountable on the day of judgement?

    Waging War Upon Our Friends

    The war on Pakistan is a case in point. Here we have compelled our most faithful ally to engage in full-scale civil war as the means to salvage our failing economic order, by way of seizing the Caspian oil and gas reserves. We have forced Pakistan onto a path towards its own destruction as a feeble-minded calculated gamble to avert our own deserved dissolution. It seems only logical that a nation which feeds its own insatiable appetite for more of everything by depriving the poorest of the poor nations of the little that they have to call their own, would seek to avert its own profit loss by spreading death and suffering amongst the very people who have time and again proven to be among its best friends.

    History has proven that some of America’s most trusted friends and allies have been the recipients of her most insidious and deadly intrigues. Pakistani leaders are delusional if they think that their friendship with the United States is stronger than that of Italy, or Germany.

    The CIA turned Pakistan into the “epicenter of terrorism” for a reason. That reason went way beyond the mission against the Soviets, or else the training camps would have been shut-down and some attempt would have been made to clean-up the mess they had made when the Russians left Afghanistan. The CIA kept the camps and the madrassas running, turning-out thousands of good jihadis. By relying on the factor of “deniability,” they put the training camps in Pakistani hands. This should have been understood by Pakistan’s leaders for what it was, a euphemistic way to express the reality that the Army and the ISI were always intended to be America’s scapegoat. That time has come.

    America has turned the tables on Pakistan. Just as Pakistan has used their proxy army, the local Taliban to stage running battles (some were for real), in order to fool the United States about Pakistani intentions in the war on terror, the new administration is using their own creation, the “Pakistani Taliban” (TTP), to call the Army’s bluff about its latest war in its tribal region. The generals can no longer get away with merely chasing the local Taliban from one agency into another, or anything less than waging total war in all of FATA and the NWFP. Pakistan’s “double-game” is over, while America’s double-games have barely begun.

    Gen. Kayani has been trying to follow in Musharref’s footsteps, running a limited pretend all-out war production, even following the same order of the previous war on Waziristan, tribal jirgas, lashkars, economic siege, etc. The General’s neatly dressed, never dirty, determined-looking soldiers faithfully posed for countless publicity shots, putting on a great show for the international circus media. Army spokesmen claim to have killed 1,500 terrorists in Malakand and elsewhere, always taking place beyond the range of the camera’s lens. There are no “embedded reporters” in Pakistan. The only news coming out of the region is approved after passing through several layers of filtering by the controlling governments there, especially by the one all-controlling super government. If Pakistan is really out to get Mehsud, as Kayani boasted, then it is because that is what Obama wants Pakistan to do.

    The Predator strikes are the Pakistani strategy, intended to ease their citizenry into a renewed fight in S. Waziristan. (SEE: Paramilitary Pretense, Who Controls the Predators?) The last two attempts to carry the operation into the militant home base were met by fierce resistance on the ground, as well as in Pakistan’s streets. The people became so enraged that this path of slowly boiling Pakistan’s “frogs” became the only feasible alternative. This theory means that Mehsud is either an asset of the ISI or their CIA bosses. and the regular terror attacks upon Shiites and their shrines, even attacks on outposts of the Frontier Corp are likely the work of the ISI, just as the militants have been claiming in various interviews. As unlikely as this all seems, no other theory explains the curious behavior of Pakistan’s government and military and mountains of circumstantial evidence linking the ISI to the militanct.

    “So while Pakistan’s dysfunction is entirely Pakistan’s fault, American naivete cannot get a pass because Pakistan is a basket case. In the Age of Obama, America has to do better. Anyone that was really interested in debilitating the Punjabi-dominated, Hindu-hating, right-leaning, military-dominated Pakistani establishment would have to be recklessly foolish if it went and helped rebrand the Pakistan army in the wake of eight years of Musharraf and a devastating and humiliating defeat at the hands of the country’s lawyers. Yet that’s exactly what President Zardari has done since the May 8 offensive was launched into Swat. The Swat offensive has helped rehabilitate the image of the military.”

    If Pakistan was really pursuing a policy of “divide and rule” in its negotiations with Mullah Nazir, seeking to separate the powerful warlord from Baitullah Mehsud before launching a new war in S. Waziristan against him, then the Army would not have allowed the continuing Predator attacks on Nazir to take place, or go unanswered. None of this happened. If they were serious about overtures made to the Wana warlord then they most certainly would not have shelled his offices.

    Obama is driving the former enemies together. This is Langley’s intention. Mullah Nazir has not been the sole target of drone attacks for the past year to thwart Pakistan’s peace initiatives with the militants (since Washington controls everything Islamabad does), the reason is much more sinister than that.

    If the United States government was truly at odds with the Army over American attacks upon Pakistani citizens, carried-out in order to sabotage Pakistan’s war plans, then there would be swift reprisals, because such an affront to Pakistan’s sovereignty would be far worse than merely “counter-productive.” Everything is going according to the Imperial game plan–American drones attack all pro-Pakistani militant leaders, ignoring everyone who is killing Pakistanis. The targeted leaders coalesce into a powerful, motivated union.

    The generous benefactors of Maulana Fazlullah and his TNSM forces were sponsors of state terrorism, directed mostly at girls’ schools and CD shops in the North West Region. Their murderous rampage and deceptive Shariah pacts forced Army intervention. Predator attacks upon Mullah Nazir intensify, until he begins to fight back, forcing the Army to scrap plans to divide the Taliban as a means to avoid a massive tribal war, focusing only on Mehsud. Meanwhile, some unknown outfit bombs Shia mosques and shopping areas (Nazir blames the attacks upon the Army), stoking the war in Kurram. Bahadur honors his pact with Nazir and Mehsud; he fights back, forcing the Army to broaden their planned offensive to include N. Waziristan against their better judgement.

    Never once, do the generals complain, or offer resistance to American violations of sovereignty. Instead, they follow the orders of their American masters, while the President of Pakistan continues to represent the President of the United States, instead of his own people, who are being killed by the dozens and the hundreds by the good old USA!

    Hard as they may try to set their own course, Pakistan’s generals have surrendered their souls to the devil when they plotted with American generals to deceive their countrymen into passively, even enthusiastically accepting the new war. The war in Waziristan (both North and South) will be fought on Obama’s terms.

    According to Army spokesman, Maj-Gen Athar Abbas:

    “It was thus obvious that the confrontation between the militants and the military in North Waziristan would escalate because the US is unlikely to give up its policy of using drones to target militants positions.”

    In other words, for the first time, one of the silent generals dared to explain the Army’s position. ISI concerns about “shaping the battlefield” and confining the war in Wana to Mehsud didn’t amount to a hill of beans to Petraeus and Mullen, Obama insists that Pakistan go against the generals’ better judgment and incite a “tribal uprising.”

    The attacks in N. Waziristan by Gul Bahadur and the artillery strikes upon Nazir’s headquarters, both a bi-product of the Predator prevarications, as well as the recent assassination of Pakistan’s other “ace in the hole, Qari Zainuddin, have destroyed Pakistan’s last chance to restore the writ of the state without resorting to all-out civil war. Either Gen. Kayani submits entirely to Obama’s will, including the planned submission to Indian domination afterwards, or he stands-up to the United States, meaning he stops the drone attacks and reveals the entire ugly scenario that the CIA cannot allow anyone to reveal. “Al Qaida” is fake. The war on terror is a fraud. The fraud is a plan for world war. And we all know that neither Gen. Kayani, nor any other Pakistani official will ever reveal the “great game” or the plot to destroy the Islamic Republic.

    The United States corporacracy is a monstrous devouring beast and “Islamist terror” is her illegitimate offspring.

    I wish Kiyani had the balls to stand up but usually when you rise above the level of Colonel in Pakistan Army they keep the balls in cold storage at a super-subzero temperature in “Langley”. This has become standard practice in Mush’s hijra army. So I dont expect any hijra’s to show signs of a spine. Dream on!

  • afzaalkhan says:

    You know I was always kinds skeptical abt Mushy, I mean i tot he was just bad and a looser but then again nothing extraordinary compared to all the other so called leaders we have, the more I look the more I realize this one guy was able to create so much havoc, he has literally shake the foundations of Pakistan and has laid down booby traps all over pakistan I would only be satisfied with this guy hanging.

  • taukeer says:

    I agree I wont be satisfied with this guy hanging I would like to see him chopped to death. I would want to see the fear in his eyes as he is hacked bit by bit. Maybe pausing and making him hear his speeches as further torture or better still make him hear Altaf Bahi’s waaaz!!!

    I am sure even Zardari cant be as bad as him.

  • afzaalkhan says:

    you know i understand kiyani and state dept had to convince zardari and co abt restoiration of judges. What I have an issue with dawn and the same morons (read naji hasan nisar etc) is they conviniently forget it was the people power that forced kiyani state dept etc to intervene if the mass movement wasnt there to pressure then why would they intervene? I mean one can’t happen without the other, the only thing wrong with thee scenario was that they had to intervene to save zardari from zardari himself. It was a bitter pill that they had to swallow and kudos to NS who didnt push 4 regimen change at that juncture, cuz that was the only legitimate outcome.

    BTW dun udnerstand author problem with IJI, was good decision too bad it wasnt implemented in full.
