A new trend of attacks in Afghanistan aims at helping Pentagon and CIA prolong their stay in the country. New culprit to watch: Afghan warlords working with CIA.

The coordinated attacks on Afghan Shias on Tuesday appear to be the handiwork of US-allied Afghan warlords out to create conditions to prolong the stay of US military and intelligence in the country. Under this scenario, pro-US warlords and contractors linked to CIA appear to be key suspects.

The warlords are part of the government and work closely with US military and CIA. This new terror wave serves to push a weak Obama administration to heed military’s desire for a prolonged engagement.

Pakistan can’t be implicated in the attack because Islamabad wants foreign forces to leave and Tuesday’s attacks only serve to provide US military another excuse to stay. So, it is important to understand who benefits from this new trend in attacks, especially targeting Afghan Shias. Afghan resistance groups did not indulge in sectarian attacks since the start of the conflict in 2001. Question is: if they didn’t do it for a decade, why now?

Raising sectarian tensions in the region is part of US military psy-ops to mobilize majority Sunni countries against Shia Iran. Sectarian attacks were unheard of before US military and intelligence teams landed in Iraq in 2003. Some factions of the Taliban did indulge in atrocities against Afghan Shias in late 1990s. But in the ten years since the removal of the Afghan Taliban government, there hasn’t been a single attack targeting Shias. continue

Believe it or not, but a coup against Zardari government or giving the incumbent rulers a safe exit back to exile safe havens to plot against Pakistan might be just what Washington and others are hoping for.

SPECIAL REPORT | PakNationalists.com

So, is President Asif Ali Zardari escaping from the country? Or is he being quietly eased out of power by the military?

There is a general feeling that both the United States and the client government of President Zardari in Islamabad have reached similar conclusions: that the American idea of using his government to contain Pakistani military from the inside has failed.

If he continues in power, both he and his key aide and former envoy to Washington Mr. Husain Haqqani might face treason charges. Even if that doesn’t happen, the party stands to be discredited for good.

The Pakistani military is also on the ascent for the first time in several years. It is gradually ending US interference in Pakistan and correcting major flaws in its Afghan strategy, including limiting US influence through Pakistani proxies.

Historically, Washington used the same recipe for getting things done in Pakistan: support discredited self-exiled politicians against the military until they’re no longer useful, and then prod the military to take over and use the insecurities of whoever is in charge to extract strategic concessions. When things get rough with the military, Washington reverts back to self-exiled politicians to pressurize the military. This is what happened in 2006 with Benazir Bhutto.

Theoretically, Washington and President Zardari would like nothing more than a military intervention at this point. It would save both, allowing them a second chance, and would put the military on the back foot and possibly even allow the US to call for sanctions on Pakistani military for the first time, an idea that many in US military and CIA are promoting these days through US broadsheets. continue

Break The Secret Pak-US Deal

It killed a former prime minister and formalized a role for US in Pakistan’s governance. Get rid of the deal but ensure that failed politicians don’t become ‘democratic heroes’ again.

The removal of Mr. Husain Haqqani from his post and the withdrawal of key facilities given earlier to US military and NATO were sorely needed moves to amend a major flaw in Pak-US ties. That flaw includes the secret US-brokered deal that destabilized Pakistan and shaped the current political setup in the country. Question is: Is it time to revoke that deal? And how should it be done?

The secret deal of 2006-07 was a dangerous escalation in foreign meddling in Pakistan. It devised arrangements to shape how a future government in Pakistan looked and behaved. It turned the US into a decisionmaker in Islamabad, interfering in issues as diverse as deciding our national interest, how ISI should be run, whether India is a threat, and how much footprint CIA should have in our country.

Needless to say, the United States invaded and occupied other nations to do some of the things it was able to do here without direct military intervention. Direct ties between our political parties and foreign governments, and secret meetings between our officials and foreigners at neutral locations, like Abu Dhabi, were a byproduct of this flaw. Even our allies, like the Turks and the Chinese, were aghast at what we were doing. Selling ourselves cheap emboldened our foreign detractors. It is no coincidence that this period coincided with the worst campaign of demonization of Pakistan in world media. Interestingly the main culprit in this was the same country that we allowed to meddle in our affairs. continue
