BBC feeds to Pakistan have been terminated. BBC aired a documentary linking the Pakistan leadership with the Taliban.
As reported earlier, Pakistan has been playing a shell game with their nuclear warheads, transporting them around the country in ordinary trucks to hide them from NATO and the US, who they believe are planning an assault to secure them (take them away from Pakistan).
These trucks do NOT have security convoys, as that would make them easy to spot.
Pakistan is clearly showing they fear the US more than the Taliban and it is suspected that the border attack by a Pakistan checkpoint against NATO forces across the border in Afghanistan, resulting in a counterstrike killing several Pakistanis, was intentionally initiated to provide an excuse for breaking ties with the US and NATO including supplies through Pakistan.
The Karzai government in Afghanistan has been suspected of colaborating with both the Taliban and the Pakistanis.
In other words, they all want us out. The governments we have been paying to allow us military access are now collaborating against us.
It is looking very likely we will have a radical muslim nuclear state in Pakistan in the near future, and that NATO forces in Afghanistan are about to be abruptly hung out to dry. Pakistan is currently the only Muslim nuclear state in the world. Many in the military are already collaborating with or actually belong to the Taliban.
I don't see there is much we can do about it, other than get our troops out immediately and then try to do something about Pakistan's nukes. Pakistan has also been operating closely with the Iranian government.
It looks like it is all moving in exactly the direction we didn't want it to go.
There is nothing to keep Pakistan from giving Iran a couple nuclear warheads, they have 150-200.
This is the one thing no one is talking about. Notice the attack on the British Embassy in Iran coincided with Pakistan cutting off the BBC feeds.
We have no friends over there in that part of the world. It's time to address the situation and limit our vunerability.
I'm sure Israel must be just hoppin' crazy about now.
Cavalier US attitude risks turning Pakistan into another Iran Anti-US feeling in Pakistan is becoming institutionalised at higher levels of government, while opposition figures such as Imran Khan see their popularity rise on the back of diatribes aimed at the US. Pakistan's Western-educated, secular political elite is under attack from Islamist militants who revile it as Washington's stooge. The knock-kneed government is mocked and despised for failing to stand up to its infidel paymasters even as Pakistan's own ''war on terror'' death toll rises into the tens of thousands.
Since 2001, when the Bush administration told Islamabad it must take sides, be either ''for us or agin us'' in the ''war on terror'', Pakistan has struggled under a plethora of American demands and impositions at once politically indefensible and contrary to the perceived national interest.
The past year has been another humiliating one at the hands of the country's principal ally. Pakistan has looked on as US special forces flouted its sovereignty and killed Osama bin Laden under the army's nose; as the US stepped up drone attacks in Pakistan, despite repeated protests; and as people-pleasing US senators and Republican presidential candidates have taken to picking on Pakistan and its aid bill in uninformed foreign policy rants.
The belief that impoverished, divided Pakistan has no alternative but to slavishly obey could turn out to be one of the seminal strategic miscalculations of the 21st century. Alternative alliances with China or Russia aside, Muslim Pakistan, if bullied and scorned enough, could yet morph through external trauma and internal collapse into quite a different animal. The future paradigm is not another well-trained Indonesia or Malaysia. It is the Islamic Republic of Iran.
linkThat's a massively nuclear-armed Islamic Republic of Pakistan that we will have pushed into an alliance with Iran.
What sells well to a Republican Primary electorate will push us into war with a nuclear armed Pakistan/Iran alliance. We could see car bombs taken to a new level, with them sailing nuclear-armed container ships into our ports and setting them off.
I know, politicians are notoriously narcissistic and even sociopathic, but come on. What they say could have deadly consequences. They need to STFU.
