Haqqani Network has Become Achilles Heel of USA

[Al Hanif]

Civil war in Afghanistan is raging since 1976. It saw relative calm and stability during brief spell of Taliban rule, but peace was snatched away by USA and the country was again pushed into the inferno. Ongoing war lit in October 2001 is continuing and has become the longest war in its history. One of the most impecunious countries of the world is being continuously trampled under the boots of US-NATO forces for over a decade without any respite and this gruesome process is likely to continue for some more time. Having failed to subdue Afghan resistance forces despite applying excessive force and dirty tricks, occupation forces are now at the verge of throwing in their towel and departing.

Concluding that military option alone will lead nowhere; of late the US has been following dual-track policy of slapping the Taliban with one hand and offering lollypops with the other. While the slaps are reserved for the hardliners who fight and refuse to negotiate, the lollypops are for the moderates showing inclinations to negotiate and promising to make the hardliners led by Mullah Omar and Jalaluddin Haqqani agree to talk with Americans. The US has been constantly trying to win over Mullah Omar or Jalaluddin Haqqani or any of his sons like Sirajuddin and Badruddin since it has realized that without their cooperation political settlement is not possible.

Ironically, while the US has been pushing Pakistan to go after Haqqani Network (HN) in North Waziristan (NW) since early 2010, it secretly kept wooing leadership of HN to breakaway from Mullah Omar and join Karzai’s government. Services of ISI were availed to establish contacts. HN turned into most wanted target after its leaders refused to fall into the US trap and rebuffed the overtures of USA as well as several other countries. Sirajuddin conveyed in clear terms that that HN was not a separate entity but part of Taliban under Ameer-ul Momineen Mullah Omar who is regarded by each member of his group with deep sense of respect and approbation and would obey his and not US commands. All this has now been disclosed by Wall Street Journal.
In its bid to break the will of Taliban and make them agree to US terms so that senseless war could end, apart from stepping up aerial and ground raids in Afghanistan, CIA accelerated the rate of drone strikes in NW and also kept up its pressure on Pakistan to launch a major military operation in NW and eliminate alleged safe havens of militants. Reluctance on part of Pakistan Army to open a new front owing to social, political, financial and military constraints as well as its strong suspicion that the US was playing a double game strengthened US spin doctors to accuse Pakistan that it is aligned with Afghan Taliban and al-Qaeda. Secretary Defence Leon Panetta went to the extent of saying that either Pakistan is complicit or incompetent. In the wake of intensification of attacks by Taliban in Afghanistan in recent months, the US started holding HN responsible and urged Pakistan to destroy its sanctuaries in NW.
To dispel the false impression created by US military leaders that lot of progress had been made against the Taliban, the latter undertook spectacular offensive actions in and around Kabul. A daring attack was launched on Inter-Continental Hotel in Kabul on 28 June. Murders of two important aides Ahmad Wali Karzai and Jan Muhammad in July in Kandahar who were supposedly making secret parleys with the Taliban upset the US and Karzai’s plans to broker a political settlement. Downing of US Chinook in Wardak in August took the lives of 38 American soldiers of Special Forces including 23 belonging to unit of Navy Seals that had taken part in Operation ‘Get Geronimo’ on 2 May. Truck bomb attack on the NATO military base in Wardak on 10 September resulted in death to five and injuries to 96 including 80 US soldiers, out of which several succumbed to injuries.
Of all the attacks, September 13 attack on US Embassy, NATO HQ and Afghan National Security Directorate in the most protected capital city of Kabul was more worrisome for the US. Not only this attack exposed the fragility of security system but also laid bare the weakness of security forces which had no clue how to deal with six militants who had paralyzed the capital city for 20 hours. ISAF’s confidence in ANA that it was ready to takeover security duties was also shattered. The US was still to recover from the shock when peace maker Burhanuddin Rabbani was killed by a suicide bomber on 20 September which gave a deadly blow to peace process. It depressed Karzai so deeply that he gave up on negotiations with Taliban.
Dumbfounded by string of deadly attacks by Taliban and not knowing how to cover up their embarrassment, the US military officials led by retiring Admiral Mike Mullen hastened to fabricate a charge-sheet against Pakistan’s ISI asserting that it was linked with HN which was ISI’s veritable arm and the two were involved in 13 September attack. HN was declared as irredeemably violent and criminal outfit. During his meeting with Gen Kayani in Spain, Mullen had urged him to rid the US of the monster of HN at the earliest but his tone was friendly. But on 22 September when he addressed the Senate Armed Services Committee, he looked haggard and emaciated and his blunt and harsh utterances betrayed his inner anxieties. Cameron Munter, Ryan Crocker and Panetta joined the Pakistan-HN condemning choral group and alleged that Pakistan was in cahoots with HN. Hillary Clinton’s over three hours session with the visiting Hina Rabbani revolved entirely around HN and the necessity to mount an operation in NW. It was quite apparent that the US had decided to make Pakistan a scapegoat and cover up its recurring failings.
Pak-US relations have been continuously sliding down in the aftermath of Raymond Davis and 2 May incidents. Rather than feeling remorseful and trying to compensate Pakistan for the wrongs done, the attitude of US officials has remained puffed-up and bossy. They are now threatening to take unilateral action in NW in case Pakistan didn’t agree to do so and chase out HN. The latter has become Achilles Heels of USA which is giving it nightmares. The US has become so obsessed with the small band of 3-4000 fighters in NW that it has declared that no progress can be achieved in Afghanistan without their elimination.
To make matters worse for the marooned US military in Afghanistan, its strongest ally Pakistan which has taken the major brunt of war and sacrificed the most is having second thoughts over its alliance with USA, which has given it a raw deal. Instead of getting over awed and frightened, Pakistan has taken the bullying US officials by complete surprise by giving a befitting reply. The Army took the lead in showing eyes to the US and the government gave a pleasant surprise to the nation when it followed suit. Soon after, it held an All Parties Conference. 13-point resolution laid out that Pakistan will give peace a chance and will not abide by the dictates of the US which are against its national interests.
The US got yet another shock when it found the divided nation standing united and resolutely behind the government, Army and ISI. The outrage expressed by Pakistani nation has taken the heat out of the US aggressive posturing and has put the US administration on the defensive. It has been forced to take immediate steps to defuse the highly volatile situation. Although Pakistan has sailed passed the worst crisis, however, it will take time for the storm to fully subside, since several involved players having high stakes in Afghanistan would try to keep Pakistan in a tight corner.
Bridging of trust deficit will require sincere and concerted efforts from both sides. Hawks in US military and in CIA egged on by Jewish and Indian lobbyists will keep Pakistan under pressure to make it abide by their dictates. Indo-Afghan strategic alliance is also aimed at giving a message to Pakistan to behave. Accusation by Kabul that Pakistan had a hand in Burhanuddin’s murder and latest revelation that six persons have been held in Kabul over an alleged plot to assassinate Afghan President is an indication that plot makers will keep cooking incriminating stories to implicate Pakistan and get it declared as a terrorist state, or ISI as a rogue outfit. Pakistan should not relent under any circumstances and should face the challenge gallantly.

Haqqani is a pitty terrorist to meet the same fate as many Arab terrorists like Saddam Hussain, Osama Bin Laden, Mumar-ul-Qaddafi, etc. have seen at the hands of morally, culturally, civilizationally, etc. far superior West and the rest of the civilized world.

Saddam Hussaib, the Sunni Arab from Iraq, boosted a lot saying he will burn the land underneath the feet of Americans but in the end was caught from his hideout like a mouse.

On the one hand you have a people far advanced intelligence-wise on the other you have those deeply mired in cave-age mentality.

It is not a right approach to assuage one's feeling of humuliation at the hands of tiny adversay with utopia and illusions. The right way is to develop superior approaches.

Arabs are the master race. They enslaved white people, brang Islam and arabic alphabet to Pashtuns. Besides this, they don't have gay prides, they have the lowest crime rates, the lowest aids rates in the world, the lowest suicide rates in the world thanks to Islam. They don't have swinger clubs in their countries and they hang homosexuals. The hide and seek champion (OBL) is an Arab. Arabs are the master race. Their civilisation is so superior that they don't even need weapons to conquer and colonise Europe. Europe will soon become Eurabia because their religion is inherently superior to the filthy western degenerate way of life. Atheistic satanistic secualarist society cannot even sustain itself. They need muslim immigration to keep their economy functionning. All of this because Arabs are the master race.

That alphabet is an indication of supreme ridiculousness...It was very bad for Pashtuns adopting this extremely archaic and backward alphabet and giving up the Pashtun Kharoshathi alphabet.

Rest, if it were for lack of crime, the Red Indians would be dominating. One thing is certain---with their backward values and ways, Arabs are on the way to become the pariah of the world

And last I checked Burbars and other Arabs are fast becming Christians. Africa e.g. in the couple of decades to come will be a Christian continent. Most of the people of other faiths I have talked to have an extremely negative image of Arabs.

I'm laughing so hard. Africa will become a Christian continent ? Since when people are leaving Tawhid to become Polytheists ?

I know personally 3 ethnic french muslim converts and not a single arab christian convert.

Arabs are loved tenderly by Pashtuns and Indonesians and Pakistanis and Berbers. Red Indians are alcoholics. The reason why their country was invaded and they were slaughtered is because they don't have superior Jihad. Arabs are blessed to have Islam. The cradle of civilisation was in Iraq. Arabs named most of the constellations. Arabs have the tallest buildings in the world. Arabs are so brave they rebeled against their corrupt leaders. The whole world applauded when they saw arabs dying for liberty. The whole world was so proud of Arabs. Arabs are truly the master race, they have the most beautiful women in the world. Blondes prefer Arabs. Arabs are cool and well known for their hospitality.

[Toramana]

Hahaha, one can glaringly see how Arabs occupy a central and superior place invariably in an Arab's vision for the Muslim world (if not the whole world). Now if it isn't hegemonic nationalism with a facade of religion then what it is?

By God I am ready to give up my Islam than to be associated with anything Arab. The mere images of Osama, Saddam, Qaddafi, Al-Saud, and general Arabs and their anachronistic ways coupled with a misplaced notion of racial pre-eminence repels me.

Pashtuns that have had an encounter with Arabs whom I have talked to dislike Arabs with a patience.

revealing your true self, aren't we. arabs will be nothing in the new world. even with all the oil you have you have in your countries, you guys have done nothing for your people, instead of spoiling them in luxury. whatever you have written is pure BS

Karachi, in the city that I live in Arabs have arranged their own mosque distancing themselves from South Asian Muslims. And the reason have roots in the race superiority...because, Arabs don't want to mix-up with South Asians. Herein comes how much can Islam do to integrate people and the reality of Muslim Ummah.

One Arab suggested to me, I should go to Arab mosque...I said no, I will go to South Asian mosque. I consider it ignoble disowning people on the basis of race-superiority although I might have political disagreement with people.

yeah i know, i noticed this in Mississauga/Toronto area as well.

Racism is BS. When he posts "camels" and "sand-negros" every three posts, he isn't banned but when i'm being sarcastic, I'm banned. See how BS works. I'm glad I was banned.

Frankly speaking, I have no concern with your religious affiliations as long as you don't come here and use it to rally political sentiments for your political causes taking Pashtuns attention away from their own miseries.

Then it is extremely extremely annoying that outsiders in the name of Muslim brotherhood come here and try to define to us as who a Pashtun is and who he is not and what is a good for Pashtuns and what isn't. Pashtun has become a guine-pig that every body wants to do experimentation on and every body wants to analyse---a strange creature every body wants to define according to his/her own perception, biases, motives, interests, fantasies, liking, etc. We have become objects of study and topics of speculation for others. They are theororising about us, making conclusions about us, defining us, formulating us, presenting us, propgating our image to others, and you name it.

Any outsider in the name of Islam can come and become my ideological master and political lord ...This is too much. People are taking advantage of our hospitality and courtesy...

Can we do this to Arabs or Bengalis to tell them who they are and what is right for them? I am sure if a Pashtun ever did this he will be kicked away despite the bond of Islam. And by the way, we Pashtuns are dignified enoug not to do such things (esp the educated Pashtuns are very dignified and would not poke their noses in other people affairs).

Pashtuns should realise that only an ideologically free-to-chose people that make choices based on their own perception, analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, needs, etc. can be a noble and respected people. Why should we be enslaven by others ideologically and politically?

[Bengal_Tiger]

This whole thread is really unfair, I unblocked liar, racist and troublemaker Toramana to read this as a thread was opened about Tor_Khan's unfair moderating.

Tor_Khan is a slimey,smarmy, two faced Munafiq Pakistani.

Toramana provokes Al-Hanif who is a Berber (Berbers have always had and had issues with Arab supremacism) who can't take it anymore and snaps and reverts to sarcastic posts about Arab supremacism

Toramana, the lying white-wannabe Canadian Kafir dog who wants to kill Pashtuns baits, and baits and baits and provokes like he has been doing to me and Al-Hanif gets banned.

Tor_Khan is a disgusting, dirty, lowlife Paki like that other nasty Paki ****bag Mokadaar from Chaikhaana.

Tor_Khan even insulted my family in one thread.

Anyway Allah has punished Mokadaar (last I heard this dog was severely sick, and his stupid website has been removed).

Tor_Khan, a Munafiq Pakistani, ban me!!

Come on you slimey two-faced dhaal khor Pakistani!

who hates Indic people and Muslims and constantly insults them, you have been insulting me and baiting me ever since I rejected your calls for America to kill Pakhtoons in FATA.

Don't ever talk about me or my people, you stupid Pakistani Kafir!

Thank you Mr. Tiger. But do you remember how it got started? graveyard and you posted a thread in which you said we i.e., me and Massud don't qualify to be Pashtuns---and Al-Hanif and Al-Arab joined the chorus. That was a real provocation. How come an outsider come and tell Pashtuns who is a Pashtun and who is not.

But anyhow, I don't want to put the adminstrators and moderators of this forum in a difficult situation and am voluntarily leaving this forum after one or two more posts.

Bya pa dai forum kai kushthi kawai.

Besides, I have the commonsense and diginity not to pass judgement on your people i.e., Bangladeshi because that is not my pre-rogative but you lack that basic commonsense.
