THE PAKISTAN WAR

Pakistan by bag_lady (away)

For many years now, the USA has been trying to break up Pakistan.

Pakistan's only hope of survival may be to kick out the CIA, and form a close alliance with China.

In November 2011: "Pakistan and China are staging joint military exercises, showcasing their relationship as Islamabad's ties with Washington suffer. The war games that began Monday follow remarks by Pakistani officials suggesting that China could step into the economic, military and diplomatic void if Pakistan's relationship with the United States collapsed."

Pakistan has been cracking down on the CIA.

Each time Pakistan cracks down on the CIA, there is an act of revenge by the USA.

November 2011: A recent 'CIA-NATO plot' involved Pakistani-American tycoon Mansoor Ijaz.

He delivered a memo to Admiral Mike Mullen’s office, allegedly on the instructions of Pakistani Ambassador Husain Haqqani.

In exchange for US help, according to the memo, President Zardari offered to turn over 'rogue military elements' suspected of harbouring 'terrorists'.

The 'plot', when revealed in the Financial Times, was presumably intended to 'divide and rule'.

On 22 September 2008, the BBC reported that:

1. a Pakistan government spokesman claimed that the prime minister and other top people were planning to have dinner at the Marriott at the time the bomb went off, but cancelled the booking at the last moment.

2. The Marriott Hotel's owner says this is not true and that there was no booking.

Did elements of the Pakistan government work with the CIA and its friends to carry out the bombing, so as to support the case for Pakistan government cooperation with the Pentagon?

Malik

Rehman Malik was the effective Interior Minister of Pakistan.

Pakistan Daily writes of 'the bizarre, abortive handover of the ISI (spy agency) to Rehman Malik'. (You Can’t Be On The Wrong Side Of Pakistan Mr Asif Ali Zardari)

Benazir Bhutto appointed Rehman Malik as chief of Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA)

According to the article on Rehman Malik at Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia :

The Pakistani military was dismayed by reports of FIA contacts with the Israeli secret service, the Mossad, which had been cooperating with Indian secret service RAW.

According to the Pakistani Spectator, 11 May 2008, (Rehman Malik Runs Zardari and PPP The Pakistani Spectator):

"Rehman Malik ... helped Zardari a lot to launder ... looted money and invest and secure it at different places in the world... He does what he is told to do by the masters in Washington."

In The Pakistan Spectator, 21 September 2008, Ali Yar Khan asks What Was Going on in the Marriott Hotel?

He makes the following points:

1. After the blast, a mysterious fire started on the fourth and fifth floors. It was said that this fire was the result of a gas pipeline burst.

2. Allegedly, the fifth and fourth floors of the hotel were housing mysterious steel boxes under the guard of United States marines. Allegedly, these boxes were moved into the hotel when Admiral Mike Mullen met Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and others in Islamabad.

The boxes may have contained explosives?

(In 2003, a bomb hit the Marriott hotel in Jakarta. A number of poor Moslems were killed. "Something interesting happened just hours before the explosion shocked the JW Marriott Hotel, Mega Kuningan, South Jakarta. The US Embassy cancelled the booking of 10-20 rooms in that hotel." -Prison Planet.com: Do You Have the Knowledge to Escape?)

It was reported that several senior officers of the CIA were in Islamabad, on a visit, at the time of the explosion. (Islamabad blast)

According to Dawn, 21 September 2008, "Well-equipped security officers from the US embassy were seen on the spot soon after the explosions. However, they left the scene shortly afterwards." (Terror tears through capital)

Muhammad Azam, a Marriott security personal, told The Post that he was standing across the road when a big brown truck appeared. "I saw him (the truck driver) getting out of the truck, taking position and firing two rockets at the hotel." (Front & Back Page News Updates)

The explosion created a crater at least 25 ft deep and 30 ft wide, and totally destroyed the road in front of the building. (1000 kg explosives used in Pak blast) .

The bombers may not have intended to destroy the hotel. But, reportedly, gas lines running to the hotel’s kitchen exploded and started a fire that damaged about two thirds of the hotel. Police sources said the dead include three South Koreans, two Saudis and at least one American. (62 die as suicide bomber strikes Pakistani luxury hotel (Roundup)

Some officials said the intended destination of the truck with the bomb might have been the prime minister’s house. The Marriott is one kilometer distant from Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani’s house where President Asif Ali Zardari, army chief General Ashfar Parvez Kayani and over 300 MPs were at an Iftar dinner.

However, Kiyani has been trained in the USA. And Zardari is reportedly a friend of the neocons.

One report suggests that the American neocons toppled Mussharraf and put Zardari into power.

In the Guardian, 7 September 2008, Tariq Ali wrote that "a hardcore neocon faction led by Zalmay Khalilzad, the US ambassador to the Security Council, was busy advising Asif Zardari in secret and helping him plan the campaign to oust the general (Musharraf)."

At least 12 American soldiers have been killed in Pakistan in recent years.

The three American soldiers were wearing disguises.

They were dressed in Pakistani baggy trousers and long tunics, according to a Pakistani officer. (Soldiers' Deaths in Pakistan Raise Questions on US Presence)

Reports from Pakistani security officials said the soldiers were killed by an explosive device.

Next the explosion site is a school.

Most of the 131 people who were wounded were girls who were pupils at the school.

Three of the Pakistanis who were killed were schoolgirls.

The soldiers were reportedly en route to the opening of the girls' school.

Why might American special forces, wearing disguises, want to visit a school in a volatile area?

Would it not have been better for Pakistanis to be involved in the opening of the school?

According to a 'Taliban' spokesman: "The Americans killed were members of the Blackwater group.

"We know they are responsible for bomb blasts in Peshawar and other Pakistani cities." (Blackwater-type US security contractor in NWFP: Bilour)

Capt. Jack Hanzlik, a spokesman for the United States Central Command in Tampa, Florida, said 12 other American soldiers had been killed in Pakistan since 11September 2001. (Soldiers' Deaths in Pakistan Raise Questions on US Presence)
