Vice President Joe
Biden: Misspeaking or Misinformed?
The Frontier Post, Pakistan
U.S. Rewrites History
to Hide Afghanistan Defeat
"Joe
Biden may be a friend to Pakistan and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mike Mullen
may have developed a close rapport with Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez
Kayani, but both are trying to rewrite the history of their botched Afghan War.
… They are loath to concede that America has lost the war."
U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mike Mullen: A large number of Pakistanis suspect he is part of an effort to blame Pakistan for U.S. failure in Afghanistan.
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden
descended on Islamabad for a few hours, returning home after articulating
familiar platitudes in public and talking tough with Pakistani interlocutors in
the official corridors. America's top commander, Admiral Mike Mullen, has also
harped on their familiar rhapsody: Pakistan’s tribal areas have become global
terror's epicenter.
Biden may be a friend to
Pakistan and Mullen may have developed a close rapport with Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani,
but both are trying to rewrite the history of their botched Afghan War. Like
all other American officials, they are smothering the truth, distorting facts
and hiding unpalatable realities. They, too, are loath to concede that America
has lost the war. Deceitfully, they have dubbed the North Waziristan tribal
agency as the Achilles’ heel in their Afghan war campaign. The want Pakistanis
to finish off the Afghan Taliban and their al-Qaeda allies who they claim have
safe haven and launch attacks against the U.S.-led coalition and Afghan armies.

But it's all a giant hoax to
paper over the stupendous collapse of the occupation army, which is largely
composed of U.S. troops, in a war that costs the American taxpayer some $100
billion a year. Nonetheless, U.S. commanders and their political bosses, in
league with the embedded media, peddle half-truths and patent lies to a
gullible home audience and the international community.
Meanwhile, the U.N. has come
up with a map showing that at least 70 percent of Afghanistan is already under
Taliban control, with there sway expanding. With such a dismal situation on the
ground, the biggest lie of the 21st Century could be that none of the trouble
is coming from within Afghanistan, and all of it is emerging out of Pakistan’s
North Waziristan.
If the American warlords are indeed
taken for their word, then the Afghan Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters they claim are
hiding in the tribal agency must have stealth aircraft, as they strike targets
hundreds of miles away in Kunduz, Herat and Kabul, flying safely back to their
sanctuary. Could anything be more ludicrous?
Then, according to the CIA’s own
estimates, some 100 al-Qaeda fighters remain active in Afghanistan. How can it
be that they remain uncaught and unchained if occupation armies control all of
Afghanistan? Or do these al-Qaeda activists spend all their time in prayer
while their mates are the one asserted to be holed up and doing the fighting in
North Waziristan? Isn’t this a joke that stinks and stinks more?
And why are Afghan Taliban
and al-Qaeda fighters in this Pakistani tribal agency in the first place? Before
9/11, Pakistan knew of no al-Qaeda. They were in Afghanistan living with their Afghan
Taliban friends, who themselves were born in their own homeland. If the two snuck
into Pakistani territory, doesn’t it speak to the contemptible incompetence and
unsoldierly cowardice of the occupation armies, which failed colossally to
chase, corral and hobble them on their side of the border?

It is the worst devious
skullduggery to rap Pakistan for something that should see the invading armies facing
court martials. So should their false and deceitful mantra of Pakistan’s tribal
areas having become global terror’s epicenter. Leave aside the 9/11 strike,
which wasn't even planned in Afghanistan, but in Hamburg, by perpetrators who
had all been living in Europe studying in western universities and hijackers who
had trained in American aviation academies.
Every subsequent horrific
terrorist strike in the West has been conceived, planned and executed by
homegrown terrorists. The Madrid train blasts and London transport bombing were
carried out by homegrown extremists. The shoe-bomber had radicalized in Europe
and so had the underwear-bomber. Even the perpetrator of the abortive New York
Times’ Square bombing had taken to extremism in America, not Pakistan. Indeed,
none of the post-9/11 terrorist strikes has originated from Pakistan’s tribal
areas.
Instead, it is Pakistan that
has become a bleeding target of terrorism perpetrated by monstrosities cloned
by the CIA in collusion with India’s RAW and Afghanistan’s NDS spy agencies.
This has been unleashed in our tribal areas to soak our streets with innocent
blood.
Why has the establishment in
Islamabad fallen so in love with being demonized that it doesn’t bust this
American enterprise of rewriting history? Will it ever speak out about the
wicked shenanigans being played against us by these self-professed saints to
our nation’s great woes and our people’s great grief?
