Dismantling Pakistan, a Quagmire of Imperial Slavery

Supporting Rogue Militants: The recent "surge" operation in South of Afghanistan (in Helmand) is aimed at making sure that rogue militants regroup deep inside Pakistan's Baluchistan, to stage a large insurgency against Islamabad. Mossad, CIA, RAW and MI6 sponsored BLA and supported Jundullah, which will also be used to create trouble inside Iran. Of course Al-Qaeda will keep "resurfacing" as long as it seems necessary to entertain the late evening news watcher.

While the Pakistan Army was busy in dealing with the Indian threat after Mumbai terrorist attacks, the TTP under the leadership of Baitullah Mehsud was regrouping and gaining control of Swat Valley and its adjoining areas. Musharraf had given a wild card to CIA which resulted in the CIA's penetration of Tribal Areas of Pakistan, their buying loyalties of rogue elements and militants better known as freelance terrorists (e.g. Chechens and Uzbeks, who have no home to which to return).

At stake for the CIA in Tribal areas and Pakistan's North

"It's admitted by the CIA that these attacks serve to provoke more attacks by forces in Pakistan. Michael Hayden for example said: 'We use military operations to excite the enemy, prompting him to respond. In that response we learn so much'. These attacks will just continue because they hasten the larger US plan for the region: To destroy Pakistan to aid the main opposition to China in the region, India."

- David Rothscum

Of greatest importance to Langley at this time is the land link between Pakistan and China. Washington wants this link to be cut to allow greater control by NATO troops of the region near China's border. Remember 1984, when India moved into Siachen glacier, the military objective was to take control of Pakistan-China Karakorum Highway. If the land link between China and Pakistan is cut off, the US would be willing to mediate between India and Pakistan in the Kashmir dispute. The Indian government will oblige if the U.S. guarantees that Pakistan is de-nuclearized and made a proxy of India.

In the imperial scheme, the predominantly Pushtoon population of NWFP would be either made part of Afghanistan or put under direct control of US troops. This is also part of the plan to balkanize Pakistan.

Another stake the CIA has is the huge quantities of minerals and resources lie beneath the soil of Tribal Areas and Swat. Swat contains massive quantities of emeralds and gold. Their abundance was the reason the TTP tried to control as much NWFP turf as possible. Bajaur, where a long battle was fought between Pakistan Army and TTP, has huge quantities of magnesium. Elsewhere in the tribal areas are deposits of coal, chromium, and other minerals. The TTP had taken control of three shuttered emerald mines in northwest Swat and used emeralds to fund their insurgency. But the Pakistan Army has now taken over the mines from TTP.

"They would collect the emeralds and there would be an open tender every Sunday," said Azhar ul Islam, a 44-year-old gem trader from Swat. "The profits were divided up - two-thirds for the miner and one-third for the Taliban." (reminder: the Pakistan Taliban referred to here has nothing to do with the Afghan Taliban)

Pakistan and neighboring Afghanistan are believed to hold up to 30-40 per cent of the world's emerald deposits, Shah says, with the precious stone fetching up to 2,000 dollars per carat depending on quality.

The Mess Created in the Tribal Areas by the CIA

The longer the Pakistan Army is stuck deep inside Tribal Areas and elsewhere the better it will be for hostile powers. When the military operation started in Swat and adjoining areas, there was a concern about the performance of Pakistan Army since the army did not have previous experience of fighting guerilla warfare in hilly, dense-foliage terrain. But the Pakistan Army was extremely efficient in quickly rooting out TTP from the area. Their effectiveness and precision is being appreciated by many Pakistani people. The US is creating a new trap for Pakistan Army in South and North Waziristan. Drone handlers will certainly not target Baitullah Mehsud, but they did target Maulvi Gulbahadur (located in North Waziristan). Gulbahadur was previously not supporting TTP but after the drone attack he has decided to join TTP. Qari Zainuddin, former Mehsud accomplice, had turned against him and spoken openly against Mehsud, calling him a RAW (Indian Intel) and Mossad agent, Zainuddin was killed soon afterwards. Brian Cloughley, author of 'War, coups, and terror', a book on Pakistan Army, said in his recent article,

"One of Mehsud's many enemies was Maulvi Nazir of the Ahmedzai Wazirs who had killed a lot of Uzbek nasties in South Waziristan and was thus deemed to be helping Pakistan's security as well as ridding the world of 'guest militants' who crossed the border to attack international troops in Afghanistan... He had an agreement, a non-aggression pact, to put it in plain terms, with the Pakistan Army, which was satisfied that it had at least one ally in the region, who would be badly needed when it eventually became practicable to launch a major military operation in South Waziristan (as distinct from the professionally commendable but necessarily limited action in 2007."

Cloughley continues,

"But the Americans wanted to keep on using their video game, the drone-fired missiles, to blitz FATA and kill everyone who they considered to be a 'bad guy." This included targeting Maulvi Nazir, who decided that he could do without the attentions of drones and blamed Islamabad for letting CIA have their little parties. When the missile attacks continued to be directed at him, Nazir decided he had had enough, and switched sides and joined a union with Mehsud, ostensibly against 'the Americans'."
