Taliban: The Golden Goose And The Deadly Noose

The donors don't have first hand experience with death by thousand cuts.

Pakistan is the cesspool where these vermins were encouraged to breed and grow. Well, time has come to reap what was sown.

Unfortunately, the whole world has to suffer.....

RM: "President Zardari seeking aid from the Friends of Pakistan said, “If we lose, you lose. If we lose, the world loses.�

Zardari also called for a Marshall Plan for Pakistan. Marshall Plan style effort is needed to transform Pakistan from a feudal/tribal to an industrial society to create 3m+ jobs each year for its young population that is looking for work. Unfortunately, such an effort will face major hurdles from Zardari's own party and its corrupt feudal leadership. However, if it is successfully implemented to respond to mounting pressure by the Taliban, new opportunities will open up for the nation's young population to offer them better alternatives to joining Jihadi outfits or seeking work in countries like Saudi Arabia where they are further radicalized. I just hope it's not already too late.

The Taliban leaders have announced their Capture-Karachi Plan.

It is time Mr. Altaf Hussain asks the United States to land in Karachi, as soon as possible.

The U.S. is the only ally the 17 million people of Karachi are left with to seek protection from against the onslaught of the Taliban.

The people of Karachi are in the same situation the Bengalis were in 1971. The Bengalis had to seek help from India. Now, Mr. Altaf Hussain has to do the same and seek military protection from the U.S. for Karachi, right away.

It is time Mr. Altaf Hussain picks up the phone and lets President Barack Obama that the people of Karachi would welcome the American troops as their saviors, as their friends.

A delay would be lethal for Karachi.

The U.S. propaganda machine is at it again. It is framing the 'peace deal' as if it was a ceding of territory to the Taliban. What I had been saying for the past 2 years is coming to pass slowly. The U.S. is preparing an invasion of Pakistan's Western frontier, it is only one cataclysmic event away and that also they will arrange upon expedience.

Re: # 4
I agree with you here. There is a grand conspiracy by bthe Jewish lobby. Remember All President's(Obama) men are mostly Jews.

Axelrod, Gethner,Larry Sumner, Richard Holbroke.....and Secretarey of Treasury..What his name?
Kamath

Mr. Kamath, the Jewish Lobby has nothing to do with it, the U.S. social structure where it has a 'permanent war economy' has everything to do with it. Not only can you objectively discern the U.S. power structure, you can analyze presidential speeches to discern the difference in vocabularies of motive pre and post World War 2 to uncover how the structure has changed.

Have a nice day.

The people of Karachi are waking up to the fact that Islamabad would handover Karachi to the Taliban the way it handed over Malakand Division.

Taliban, Islamabad, the army, they are all together on one side. Karachi people are left with only one natural ally: The United States of America.

Mr. Riaz Haq
US Secretary of state expressed concern about Taliban getting closer to Islamabad. Hussain Haqqani, the Pakistan ambassador in Washington said there is no immediate danger of Taliban taking over Islamabad. Before they receive and use international aid, they must fight and win against the Taliban. Donors could decline help if Taliban keep getting stronger. It looks bleak and bloody.
Thanks.

Please ignore this propaganda by the US and its minions by freehussaini and gang. 6000-8000 Talibaboon fighters cannot take over a city as big as Karachi, let alone fight an army of 650K. These 'moral panics' are directly sponsored by the U.S. and its war machine. Never underestimate the power of rumor to start nonsense and ruin the lives of people. Who is this person asking help from, from the internet warriors of Chowk?

Note how tahmed who was just a couple of months back calling Altaf Hussein every name in the book, now kisses his feet because AH is endorsing the US invasion of Pakistan just like Ahmed Chalabi did for the Iraqi invasion by the US.

Mr husseini writes "one natural ally"

The only "natural" relationship would be that of master and slave, that is how they have treated you from time immemorial.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Taliban militants have extended their grip in northwestern Pakistan, pushing out from a valley where the government has agreed to impose Islamic law and patrolling villages as close as 60 miles from the capital.

Police and officials appear to have fled as armed militants also broadcast radio sermons and spread fear in Buner district, just 60 miles from Islamabad, officials and witnesses said Wednesday.

Re: # 8 RM: "It looks bleak and bloody."

At this point, I'd have to agree with your dire assessment. But I do think Clinton's public statements exhorting Pakistanis to resist the Talibs are likely to backfire and hasten the total capitulation by the state of Pakistan...already seen by the majority of Pakistanis as fighting on America's behalf to serve America's interest. All of Pakistan's institutions (incl the military) are thoroughly discredited and under heavy assault by the Talibs right now.

Re: # 9, 12,

WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Wednesday called the advance of Islamic militants an "existential threat" to Pakistan and a "mortal threat" to the world and called on Pakistanis to resist their government's policy of ceding territory to extremists.

"I want to take this occasion in this public forum to state unequivocally that not only do the Pakistani government officials, but the Pakistani people . . . need to speak out forcefully against a policy that is ceding more and more territory to the insurgents, to the Taliban , to al Qaida ," Clinton told the House Committee on Foreign Affairs .

Pakistan last week agreed to impose Islamic law in the scenic Swat valley, 100 miles from the capital of Islamabad . It was part of a peace deal with militants who, rather than relinquishing their weapons, are strengthening their hold, imposing a brutal form of Islamic rule, and advancing into neighboring districts.

"The Pakistani government is basically abdicating to the Taliban and to the extremists," Clinton told lawmakers. The situation in Pakistan , she said, "poses a mortal threat to the security and safety of our country and the world."

Re: # 2

Karachi valiantly rejected the partitioning of Pakistan in the National Assembly. The Taliban, Islamabad and the army had ganged up against the people of Pakistan and Pakistan itself. By rejecting the Taliban rule resolution in the NA Karachi made a historic move forward. Do we see any political party in Pakistan offering Karachi an alliance with? Karachi made one historic move. It has to make a second historic move. MAKE AN ALLIANCE WITH THE U.S. AND SURVIVE. Others would be welcome to join the alliance.

kaura...
not necessary...if Mr. Richard Armitage acted rather than making the pant of Mush yellow....War on Terror would have been almost finished....paying money to Pakistan to fight islamic barbarism, is like asking a cat to guard fish and milk...the more aid to Pakistan, the menace will grow manyfold...
