Obama’s Disastrous Troop Surge
As expected , President Obama has decided to send another 30,000 US troops to the graveyard of empires that is Afghanistan. The commander in chief of the US Army and the commander in speech for the world waxed eloquently, however his decision will have a profound and adverse impact on Pakistan and will destabilise Pakistan even further.
The killing fields of Pakistan that have so far drenched FATA and NWFP and Pakistani cities like Lahore, Islamabad and Rawalpindi including the devastating mosque attack of today are full alreadywith the blood of innocents. The tragedy is that my beloved Balochistan province will be in the eye of the storm as US action in Afghanistan is sure to send the Taliban on the run to the border regions around Balochistan. Consequently a new front will be forced on a weak Pakistan to tacke the Taliban and the lie of a ‘Quetta Shoora’ in Balochistan with the more than occassional drone attack from Uncle Sam.
Crucially such drone attacks will be the first attack by our so-called partner and the very first on mainland Pakistan, it is another US policy folly more like designed to degrade and destabilise Pakistan from within. However I remain confident that the Pakistani nation will rise to the challege of protecting our state interests as the nation is united in defeating both the evil of the Taliban and the US who seek to challenge the writ of the Pakistani state, the latter by guns and the former by grants paid in the weakened US dollar. The Obama folly, sorry full speech can be seen below:
