Why Would “Terrorists” Want To Decapitate Anti-US Leadership In Pakistan?

Why would “Al-Qaeda,” a group that is supposedly the prime target of the U.S. initiated war on terror, commit a terrorist attack against a country that has recently changed its government and all but renounced its role as a U.S. ally in the war on terror?

The mass media has already blamed the Marriott Hotel bombing, which killed at least 53 people, on “Al-Qaeda,” a routine reflex action despite the lack of any real investigation and no claim of responsibility.  >>>>>

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Unhurt After Shooting

Ms. Rehman said it was too early to identify the attackers or the motive. “It would be irresponsible to speculate without details,” she said.

However, immediate suspicion fell on the Taliban. The Pakistani military has carried out a major air operation against Taliban forces in the Bajaur area of the tribal region in the country’s north along the Afghanistan border in the last three weeks, and the Taliban vowed to seek revenge. After a series of devastating attacks in various parts of the country, a cease-fire was put in place by the government last weekend. >>>>>

She mentions how irresponsible it would be to speculate; but the media has to get in their digs.  They’ve got to keep the sheeps’ minds fed.

Voice of power threatens voice of dialogue

Kaunas, Lithuania: They always come at night, George Orwell told us. You wake up to find people holding flashlights and surrounding your bed.  This image always reappears during times of tension and mistrust around the world – the faceless secret agency whisking off the unsuspecting to unspecified horrors because of the way they look or their refusal to conform.   >>>>>

American diplomat escapes gun attack in Pakistan

…The attack — which the driver eluded by jamming the vehicle into reverse and speeding away — came just hours after the collapse of the governing coalition that drove Pervez Musharraf from the presidency as Pakistan grapples with escalating violence by Islamic militants.  >>>>>

Pakistan heads for fresh crisis as coalition collapses in acrimony

…Sharif and the Pakistan People’s Party were vicious rivals in the 1990s, alternating in power until the military coup in 1999 – led by then army chief General Musharraf, who described the period as the “dreadful decade of democracy”. The power struggle between the two parties, now revived, is likely to be first felt over the provincial government of the Punjab, currently held by Mr Sharif’s party.  >>>>>

Taliban turns lethal: 101 US deaths in Afghanistan

…Top U.S. generals, European presidents and analysts say the blame lies to the east, in militant sanctuaries in neighboring Pakistan. As long as those areas remain havens where fighters arm, train, recruit and plot increasingly sophisticated ambushes, the Afghan war will continue to sour.

“The U.S. is now losing the war against the Taliban,” Anthony Cordesman, of the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, wrote in a report Thursday. A resurgent al-Qaida, which was harbored by the Taliban in the years before the Sept. 11 attacks, could soon follow, Cordesman warned. >>>>>

This is political speak for, “We found an acceptable justification for expanding our war theater to include Pakistan.” Why not marginalize any Islamic country? The path to global domination is being created under our noses, yet many of us can’t smell it through all the smoke and destruction.

Suicide Bombers in Pakistan Kill 70, Wound 100

A deadly blast near Pakistan’s tribal region bordering Afghanistan on Aug. 21 killed 70 people and injured about 100. The blast was the work of two suicide bombers who blew themselves up simultaneously outside the gate of a munitions factory in Wah Cantt. According to reports, two others did not die and were arrested. The attack took place during a three-day holiday, which officials are crediting with a lower number of dead and injured. >>>>>

How about checking out those who do not want any peace to exist? How about considering a false flag operation by a Western power, or those whom the Western powers are puppets for?

What happened to the days that terrorists want recognition and own up to their disasters to gain worldwide attention? This is not necessarily the case any longer, primarily because it is chaos and internal struggle that is sought in order to weaken the Muslims and have their governments buckle to the powers expected to help them.

Good riddance to secular rule

Pakistan’s ISI may be out of control

Recently, The New York Times revealed that US intelligence officials had concluded that Pakistan’s powerful Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency was responsible for the July 7 bomb attack on the Indian Embassy in Kabul, which killed more than 60 people. As a result, Pakistan’s new prime minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani, finds himself in a tight spot. While angrily dismissing accusations of the ISI’s involvement, Gilani has vowed to act decisively should he be presented with evidence to the contrary. Gilani’s indignation aside, the ISI has long been alleged to support Islamic militants.  >>>>>

Is the NYT talking abou the same ISI described here?  The Bush Administration consciously took the decision in “the post September 11 consultations” with Lt. General Mahmoud Ahmad to directly “cooperate” with Pakistan’s military intelligence (ISI) despite its links to Osama bin Laden and the Taliban and its alleged role in the assassination of Commander Masood, which coincidentally occurred two days before the terrorist attacks.” — Michael Chossudovsky

Maybe because the US knew that Osama really didn’t do it.  Are the ISI “out of control” because their loyalties seem to be shifting?  Who’s control should they have been under before?  India, US or Israel?
