  • non-existant,
  • uncoordinated,
  • incompetent or,
  • deceitful?
  • still a mess after Kissinger's audacious meddling 35 years ago?

The election was approaching and there is nothing but a near miss attempt at the incumbent leader's life to boost his rating in opinion polls. Don't think that Musharraf and his backers would shy away from sacrificing a few people to achieve re-election.

What is the "IT" that is the actual the CAUSE of the declaration of martial law, when 'rationality' says this should clearly not be the case?

Let's take a walk down memory lane .. and as we do so, we take into account that a BANKRUPT US is fighting wars on six fronts: Irak, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey/Iran/Kurd border areas AND now Pakistan.

What about that big stick? There will be bombs and missiles. There's no question about that. There will be raids on bin Laden's camps led by the Delta Force. The Taliban may be driven into the caves of the Hindu Kush. But there are other ways to punish and kill. Ways that are silent, discreet and quite lethal. Trade sanctions that stop the flow of even the most basic humanitarian goods, including medical supplies, food and sanitation equipment. The sanctions will be leveled not only on Afghanistan, but any country that refuses to comply with US demands. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has indicated that there may be as many as 60 countries that fit the description.  

~ Seal It With a Check, Cashbox Diplomacy, 26 September, 2001

The huge incursion by Turkish troops (*estimated at 100,000) into northern Iraq is only being held off by the fact that the Turkish President will meet President Bush in Washington on November 5.


After that, all bets are off. Now, the other "end" of the Middle East quagmire has exploded with the imposition of "emergency measures" by Pakistan's President Musharraf.

Mr Musharraf has blacked out the media, suspended the Constitution, and deployed troops in the capital, Karachi.

Mr Bush has expressed his "disappointment".

A perfectly horrendous storm is brewing, with the possibility of a blow up at both ends of the Middle East being added to fast growing fears over the "health" of the US banking and financial system.

Let's face it: The United States cannot handle the fires it has so carefully set by playing with what it sees as profitable matches. BuZh is Wall Street's banker; Henry Paulson is presiding over the US Treasury Department. Chickenhawks have taken over all the adminstrative offices at the White House, the Pentagon, the State Department .. even the Department of Justice! And now the world, undeterred by the reading of the US propaganda machine on their television networks and the US chickenhawk press are reading this latest installment of world destablization caused by a corporatocracy spinning out of fire-fighting zones in HORROR.

What is that they are seeing right in front of their faces with longer memories than those turning on CNN today?

Musharraf imposes former Citibank official as Pakistan's prime minister Pakistan's US-backed military strongman, president and armed forces chief Pervez Musharraf, has orchestrated the installation of Shaukat Aziz, a former top official at New York's Citibank, as the country's prime minister.
