Our government’s attitude towards Pakistan has been very disappointing.
Our empty bravado, past 26/11, about retaliation and destruction of terrorist camps in Pakistan, has not had any impact on the neighbouring nation.
And Prime Minster Manmohan Singh’s remark (No one wants war) makes us look like cowards. Counting on the support of others is an excuse. For the safety of India, we must take Pakistan by surprise and not disclose our plan.

There is no dearth of religious fanatics and nihilists who sees no solution other than war. Bombing alone is their argument and violence is their logic. One needs to check the record and find out how many sons and daughters of the neocons - and those who sold war as the only option - served and died in Afghanistan and Iraq. The same will happen in the case of Indo-Pak war. Kith and kins of those who are selling the war, will be no where in the pictures if hell break loose as a result of their committed promotion of hatred and violence.

Amidst continuous curfew in the restive part of Khyber Agency around 116 Afghans were arrested by the security forces …

These Afghans are either innocent like the many sold by ISI to the US or if they are militant indeed, then they are there on behlf of or active support of the CIA, KHAD, RAW or Mossad - without these “militants” knowing who is the real force behind them.

The reason is simple: They cann’t be Taliban or any other group which are fighting against foreign occupation. If that were the case, these Afghans would not be fighting and dying in Pakistan. They would be sacrificing for their homeland.

In this case, however, the 116 held in this operation (if they are not innocent) are the ones whose years of hatred against Pakistan has been exploited and they are sent to settle scores with Pakistan for its perceived role in keeping Afghanistan destabilized in the past many decades.

Four police platoons to protect Nato terminals
Helicopter gunships, tanks clear NATO supply route

And NATO terrorists get a free hand to carryout terrorist operations in the city so that warlords in the corporate, slave media could blame them on al-ka-ee-da and Taliban: another way to perpetuate the war OF terrorism.

Security forces on Wednesday continued pounding base camps of suspected militants in Jamrud subdivision of Khyber Agency for the second day, demolishing houses and Hujras of several tribal chieftains with explosives, besides rounding up a number of suspects.

Security officials also claimed to have recovered a huge cache of arms from the residence of an elder of the Kokikhel tribe. The houses and Hujras of nine influential tribesmen — accused of harbouring militants and criminals — were dynamited…..

The house and Hujra of Senator Nasir Khan was also demolished in Shahkas, prompting the lawmaker to resign from the Upper House of parliament in protest.

Talking to The News by phone from his home, he denied harbouring militants and said: “Being a senator, I have taken an oath to be loyal to the nation and the country, but the security forces demolished my house without any reason.”

This is one of the stories of Pakistani Gazas and Fallujahs. Demolitions of homes and butchering of civilians is carried out for the same colonial warlords by Pakistan’s mercenary army. Reaction is inevitable to such actions. This is  proven and time tested approach by the US and Israel. See how this kind of terrorist activities help cultivate yet another generation of Middle Eastern hardliners.

In Pakistan the puppet civilain regime and the mercenary army are being forced to adopt the same approach. The reaction is good enough to get labelled as terrorism for perpetuation of Pakistan’s war on Pakistan for the enemies of Pakistan.

This administration did more than commit crimes. It waged war against the law itself. It transformed the Justice Department into a vehicle for voter suppression, and it also summarily dismissed the U.S. attorneys who attempted to investigate its wrongdoing. It issued wartime contracts to substandard vendors with inside connections, and it also defunded efforts to police their performance. It spied on church groups and political protesters, and it also introduced a sweeping surveillance program that was so clearly illegal that virtually the entire senior echelon of the Justice Department threatened to (but did not in fact) tender their resignations over it. It waged an illegal and disastrous war, and it did so by falsely representing to Congress and to the American public nearly every piece of intelligence it had on Iraq…

No prior administration has been so systematically or so brazenly lawless.

it’s fear of another Holocaust that has driven Israel to bomb the crap out of the Palestinians in Gaza — at least, that’s if you believe what you read on the New York Times op ed page. (Never a good idea, of course, because as I’ve previously noted, when it comes to Israel and related fear-mongering, there simply is no hysteria deemed unworthy of the Times op ed page.)

Our finest young men are attacking Gaza now. Good boys from good homes are doing bad things. Most of them are eloquent, impressive, self-confident, often even highly principled in their own eyes, and on Black Saturday dozens of them set out to bomb some of the targets in our “target bank” for the Gaza Strip.

They set out to bomb the graduation ceremony for young police officers who had found that rare Gaza commodity, a job, massacring them by the dozen. They bombed a mosque, killing five sisters of the Balousha family, the youngest of whom was 4. They bombed a police station, hitting a doctor nearby; she lies in a vegetative state in Shifa Hospital, which is bursting with wounded and dead. They bombed a university that we in Israel call the Palestinian Rafael, the equivalent of Israel’s weapons developer, and destroyed student dormitories. They dropped hundreds of bombs out of blue skies free of all resistance.

In four days they killed 375 people. They did not, and could not, distinguish between a Hamas official and his children, between a traffic cop and a Qassam launch operator, between a weapons cache and a health clinic, between the first and second floors of a densely populated apartment building with dozens of children inside. According to reports, about half of the people killed were innocent civilians. We’re not complaining about the pilots’ accuracy, it cannot be otherwise when the weapon is a plane and the objective is a tiny, crowded strip of land. Our excellent pilots are effectively bullies now. As in training flights, they bomb undisturbed, facing neither an air force nor defense system. [Read more…]

In fact, Hamas’ compliance with the ceasefire was stunningly disciplined. Don’t take my word for it. The proof comes from the Israeli government.

Look at this graph provided by the Israeli Foreign Ministry showing rocket attacks from Gaza per month during 2008. From January through June there were an average of 179 rocket attacks per month. From July through October there were an average of 3 rocket attacks per month.

For the residents of Sderot, those months were indeed a period of calm. But the calm ended when Israel unilaterally broke the ceasefire right after the US elections and just before Hamas and Fatah sat down for crucial reconciliation talks in Cairo.

We are gradually accepting things that until recently were taboo. In combating terrorist organizations, we have steadily lowered the moral bar with which we have traditionally judged the worth of democracies. Torture, kidnapping, assassinations and now massacres have become justifiable; what next?

Unless we wake up and change course very soon, there may be no difference left between democracy and terrorism, and that will be the ultimate victory for terrorism.

Samuel Huntington is dead. But the clash of civilisations is not dead.

Just as in the millenniums of the past, when the King was confronted with the prophecy that he will be destroyed by a first born child, the King ordered the wholesale slaughter of all first borne in his realm. However, the prophecy has to be fulfilled, even after shedding so much blood.

In modern times, the Pharaohs of our age - the fascist, colonialist warlords - are acting like that Egyptian King, and unleashing bloodshed all around the globe, trying to fight a prophecy, that another civilization, will threaten them and will take them over. But the inevitable is bound to happen. Not for reasons of the stars managing the changeover, as stars are only the signs, but even they, the neoc-ns, Zionists, Christian-zionists. corporate terrorists and their supporters, will make that change inevitable, by their own evil deeds.

Stop the Massacre of Palestinians - Listing of Demonstrations, US and International

Read his letter from January 08. Please click image to enlarge.

His unwavering support for Israel is no different than any other US politician. This letter is on some message board, a few blogs, and a a news outlet as well. One of the sources often cited regarding copy of this letter is this Haaretz link. Its a blog of their Chief US Correspondent, Shmuel Rosner. It seems Obama camp leaked this letter to shore up support from the pro-Israel voting bloc, where he’s taking a beating.
