U.S. Drone Attacks Part of 'Anti-Pakistan Scheme'

 

"It would appear that that is part of America's insidious anti-Pakistan scheme, since Washington know how such attacks not only add to the resolve of locals to fight Americans, they undermine the credibility of Pakistan's military and government."

Pakistan - The Nation - Original Article (English)

With a vengeance, the United States is raining drone attacks down on Pakistan. The death toll reached 30 on Tuesday alone. Despite proving counterproductive in the so-called "war on terror," drone attacks continue to kill primarily innocent Pakistani civilians, including women and children - over a hundred in January alone. For Pakistan, the fallout is dreadful. Not only does it show the government permitting the U.S. to kill Pakistan citizens on their own territory, it creates additional recruits for the extremists and makes the job of defeating tribal extremists by isolating hardcore militants that much harder.

 

It would appear that that is part of America's insidious anti-Pakistan scheme, since Washington know how such attacks not only add to the resolve of locals to fight Americans, they undermine the credibility of Pakistan's military and government. At a time when the Pakistan Army is managing to persuade local tribes to commit to handing over militants, the drone attacks undermine this critical effort to end terrorism and extremism.

Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, has informed Congress that the Taliban are gaining influence in Afghanistan and along the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. His goal was to convince Congress to finance U.S. efforts in Afghanistan. But if he and the U.S. Congress would rationally ponder why this is occurring, they would realize that U.S. use of the military is a major cause, particularly the drone attacks.

 

Simply continuing to accuse Pakistan of being the “epicenter of global terrorism” is becoming a costly cop out. The reality is that it is misguided and deathly American policies, especially in regard to the Muslim world, that are now the root cause of global militancy and extremism.
