A Deadly U.S. Attack on Pakistani Soil
« on: December 01, 2011, 09:19:09 am »
I know this has happened more than several days ago, but with the USA pulling troop's out for the re-establishment of the Pakistani people and their military, it turn's out that this incident may not be as what it seems. There are both sides crying from either side of the table for the innocents they have in the matter, but it turn's out that the Pakistanis' along with the some of the Afghan's Taliban share the same principle's as to their association with the USA and the Allie's there of.
A further view of the incident may reveal a possible "Scenario" put in place by the Afghan Taliban to start a foreign dispute over the boarder itself and the underlying consequence's that these action's that were taken up by the USA as nothing more than self defense are being viewed as another US de-bockle in our militarily position and being ridiculed around the world.
Way before Saddam Hussein and even before Mo mar Qaddafi's elimination, I have always had my eye's on these individuals. now the ranks are breaking up and the concern will be raised. If there were a chance possibility of the Afghan's getting the control of the Pakistani's best interests with and through Islamabad, this would prove to be detrimental in a major renegotiation's at the UN (Which whom I feel are a joke anyway) but it would put in place another disdained and rather frustrated people into the face of the US once again.
This story and it's progressiveness lies with in these pages from the Stratfor Intelligence website, it is a vague , but somehow seemingly clear of what the implication's are for these events too have taken place and the means that one side will go to too effect the credential's of the other as allies.

Quote
In the early hours of Nov. 26 on the Afghan-Pakistani border, what was almost certainly a flight of U.S. Army AH-64 Apache attack helicopters and an AC-130 gunship killed some two dozen Pakistani servicemen at two border outposts inside Pakistan. Details remain scarce, conflicting and disputed, but the incident was known to have taken place near the border of the Afghan provinces of Kunar and Nangarhar and the Mohmand agency of Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). The death toll inflicted by the United States against Pakistani servicemen is unprecedented, and while U.S. commanders and NATO leaders have expressed regret over the incident, the reaction from Pakistan has been severe.

The Taliban, no matter what sect is definitely no friend to the US, but if they are able to take advantage of the Khyber pass and use it's lack of boundary methods as an ideal aggressive self support method, well, it sounds like 9/11 all over again to me using the means of our current technology and with aggravated disdain towards both the Pakistani's and US alliance. The current and most used weaponry of he boarder protection program is being operated by the CIA and the they are using UAV surveillance the boarder over. Now, with the latest events unraveling, Pakistani government is demanding that the CIA relinquish all materials and discontinue any further mission's until they can put a finger on the pulse of what had happened.

Quote
    Closing the crucial border crossings at Torkham near the Khyber Pass and Chaman to the south
    Giving the CIA 15 days to vacate the Shamsi air base in Balochistan from which it conducts UAV operations (though Pakistani airspace reportedly remains open to such flights)
    Reviewing its intelligence and military cooperation with the United States and NATO
    Boycotting the upcoming Dec. 5 Bonn conference on Afghanistan, though there are some hints already that it may reconsider; it is difficult to imagine what a conference on Afghanistan without Pakistan might achieve, but Islamabad would face other risks in not attending such a conference.

I feel that this is the norm for the Taliban to use or to initiate existing condition's, consequence's and silent demeanor to  aggravate an already touchy part of the world. There is no doubt about it, "We need Pakistan as an allied, for the common interest factor's" but with there looming such a simple and cunning opposition as to get two allied sides too fire upon one another , there is something very creepy about this picture that seems so familiar.

Quote
Ultimately, however, there is a reason for the long, established history of cross-border incidents and skirmishes. The United States and Pakistan are playing very different games for very different ends on both sides of the border and in Afghanistan. They have different adversaries and are playing on different timetables. The alliance is one of necessity but hobbled by incompatibility, and near-term American imperatives in Afghanistan — lines of supply, political progress, counterterrorism efforts — clash directly with the long-term American interest in a strong Pakistani state able to manage its territory and keep its nuclear arsenal secure. The near-term demands Washington has made on Islamabad weaken the state and divide the country. Obviously, the Pakistani government intends to retain its strength and keep the country as unified as possible.

I, for one am concerned over this ordeal. I thought it was the US fault once again, though they will deny either way of the incident being of anyone's fault, the true bad taste is when one hears it may have been the Taliban all along.

Quote
The larger question is whether the calculus for an alliance of necessity between the United States and Pakistan still holds. As the American and allied withdrawal from Afghanistan accelerates, without a political understanding between Washington, Islamabad, Kabul and the Afghan Taliban, there is little prospect of American and Pakistani interests coming into any closer alignment. The United States and its allies are moving for the exits while the Pakistanis try to ensure optimal circumstances surrounding the withdrawal and at the same time ensure maximum leverage to manage whatever ends up being left behind. The two countries still have numerous incentives to continue cooperation, but all the ingredients for cross-border incidents and skirmishes — as well as the opportunity to stage, provoke and exploit those incidents and skirmishes — remain firmly in place.
