Iraq - What the Ears can See!
We hear today Donald Rumsfeld saying that our strategy in Iraq needs to be re-examined! One of our Hispanic Member of Congress says in Arabic on Al Jazeera that our policy in Iraq has been stupid and arrogant! A leading British general says that the presence of British troops is exacerbating the problems in Iraq! One of our general says that the offensive in Baghdad has not succeeded! Even President Bush says that the situation in Iraq is like the Tet offensive that eventually led to the withdrawal of our marines from Vietnam and the fall of the Thieu regime (after his demise). And the bloomer of them all, we want to involve Iran and Syria (two members of the Axis of Evil) to help stabilize Iraq!! This last part foxes us at WoJ entirely. And hey what does all this defeatist rhetoric take us towards? It takes us out of Iraq. But why invite the Iranians and Syrians into Iraq? We can see only one outcome. The Syrians are Baathists, but mainly Sunni and the Iranians are fanatical Shiites about to acquire a nuclear edge. Although the Syrian Baathists regime may behave reasonably within the limits of decency (by the dubious Middle Eastern standards), can the Iranians be expected to help in stabilizing Iraq or for that matter stabilize anything at all, knowing fully well the wipe off Israel rhetoric that comes from Ahmedinnerjacket? We cannot swallow the Iranian bit in stabilizing Iraq; hook, line and sinker! What might best happen is that the Iranians would play the role of helping the Shiites to take over Iraq or help in carving up Iraq into a Shiite zone in the South (the Amara offensive is a precursor). Both moves would be fiercely contested by the Sunnis. The Syrians being Sunnis, would eventually back the party opposed by the Iranians. The Saudis, Egyptians and other Sunnis would do likewise. This would start a classic Shiite-Sunni war in Iraq where the Syrians, Saudis, Egyptians would battle the Iranians in a Proxy war. Stage two of this war would be where Shiite militias would create mayhem in Syria, Egypt Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states. While the Sunni militias would do likewise inside Iran. And by then with our marines out of Iraq, we would be spared of the bloodshed. There is already talk of withdrawing to secure bases inside Iraq or withdrawing out of Iraq entirely. Ahem! We have nothing to say about that, but with the entire Middle East in a violent mess like Iraq is today, can we remain out of the mess for too long? Maybe in this mayhem lies the seeds of pre-emptive action against Iran and ultimately victory in the War on Terror. Maybe the Iraq imbroglio, can be sorted out in our favor with the coming turn of events, which we are trying to add out mite by withdrawing out of Iraq and drawing the Iranians and Syrians into Iraq? Amen!
Musharraf's double talk on A Q Khan and on Pakistani ISI's role in aiding Al Qaeda The International Crisis Group (ICG), is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organisation, with nearly 120 staff members on five continents, working through field-based analysis and high-level advocacy to prevent and resolve deadly conflict.
The ICG has in a recent report maintained that Pakistan's military intelligence agency the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) has all along facilitated the activities of the Al Qaeda both inside Pakistan and all across the globe.
Reacting to this, the Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has brusquely rejected claiming that the ISI operates under the control of the Pakistani army and government. Now here there is a catch to Musharraf's Claim. Either way he is in double-trouble. If in fact the Pakistani army and government does control all that the ISI does, then it means that the ISI has been supporting Al Qaeda under the orders of the Pakistani government and army!
So the US needs to act against Pakistan as it threatned to do so in the aftermath of 9/11 - bomb Pakistan to the Stone Age, as Armitage told Musharraf.
And if what Musharraf says is wrong , and that the ISI is acting alone, it means that the ISI is not under the control of the Pakistani government and army. This is indeed a calamitious situation. And even in this scenario, the US needs to act against the Pakistani government and take steps to destory the ISI as it is an ally of the Al Qaeda. Which option does Musharraf choose now. He has an option now, as he did in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 to be with the USA or be with the Terrorists. He in fact is already with the terrorists, clandestinely. Now he can be with them openly, or he can defect to the USA, and let Pakistan be tackled by the USA using all means the US deems necessary. Will Musharraf make the right choice now and switch sides by ditching the ISI and Al Qaeda and as he once ditched the Taliban after 9/11, and when will the USA recognize the dangers to itself from this rouge state - Pakistan?
Pakistan's role in A Q Khan's Nuclear Wheeling-dealing
A similar logic holds when Musharraf says that AQ Khan engaged in nuclear wheeling-dealing on his own, without the knowledge of the Govt of Pakistan. If Khan did it without the knowledge of the Govt of Pakistan, then the US needs to take control of the situation as the Pakistanis have no control over Khans Nuclear Walmart.
But if Khan did it as part of the strategy of the Pakistani Government, then the situation is far more dangerous, the USA needs to treat Pakistan as an enemy (in classified policy although the declared policy can treat it as a MNNA Major Non-NATO Ally) but we should make up our minds to tackle Pakistan militarily, as soon as Iran is out of the way.
