America is Non Serious in War Against Terror in FATA
By Brig. (r) Junaid Zaman • Apr 17th, 2009 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look • 5 CommentsThe Taliban and Al Qaeda in the North West of Pakistan are a myth being perpetuated to serve interests of specific elements. There is no truth to the claims that Pakistan’s own senior officials and intelligence agencies now have developed a vested interest in seeing militancy thrive in Pakistan. There is no truth in blaming indivisual ISI officials that they are facilitating the Taliban leadership.
Actually it’s the elements in the United States who want to see terrorism thriving, flourishing and going on unabated in various cities, especially in the unsettled areas like FATA. It’s some of the diehard policy makers in the Pentagon who want to elongate their stay in this region. These were the ones who created the myth of Weapons of Mass Destruction in the Iraq and after sucking the oil and taking control of the Iraq, now diverting their full energies, resources and conviction to this region. For this region, they have ready-made boogie of Al Qaeda.
United States in not serious in fighting off the Al Qaeda or Taliban. No serious definition of Al Qaeda exists today. Confusion and myth sorrounding Al Qaeda is dense and now to add some concreteness, Taliban are termed, generally, as Al Qaeda. But then why don’t seriously fight the Taliban?
Baitullah Mehsud, the main and focal Taliban leader roams freely in the Waziristan area. Never once United States struck at him. Even, at least three times, the Pakistani intelligence agencies have given exact coordinates of the Baitullah Mehsud to the US officials, but Drones never struck there and Baitullah remained untouched. The thing which alarmed the Pakistanis most at that time that Baitullah remained at those places for more than 5 hours and returned from there at lesiure.
Though world is only observing the US displeasure with some of the individual ISI elements, the truth is that Pakistani security agencies are more distrustful of Americans in their bid to fight terrorism. Pakistanis have told Richard Holbrooke, the special envoy of US to Pakistan and Afghanistan about these points and they have conveyed their reservations to the US. Baitullah Mehsud is a direct threat to the Pakistan and is involved in the dozens of suicide attacks and bom blasts in different cities of Pakistan and yet US is not serious about locating this man. Not once, the US state department has issued any worthwhile statement in the wake of Baitullah’s activities.
For instance, there is a famous terrorist complex which is situated in the Miranshah, Waziristan situated on more than 100 kanals. This joint has been there for quite a time and its near the main bazaar of Miranshah. This joint hosts hundreds of Taliban and according to some reports, Qari Hussain is also nearby this joint. Qari Hussain, who is believed universally to be a master trainer of suicide bombers, is also resident in the area. Why never Drones reached to these areas?
It’s time Pakistani security officals should expose the double standards of the United States and they should let the world know about the non-serious attitude of the US forces.

Why Pakistani army , air force, F-16s, JK-Thunders NEVER reach there?????
Why are u waiting for drones??????
Now DONT say that Americans are preventing Pakistan from acting WITHIN Pakistani territory.
It is time for Pak to fight its own war.
Dont expect USA to fight your war. USA will do wanything to keep its national interests in focus.
Pakistan must do everything to keep its national interest in mind. Is fighting Taliban in your national interest? Is the idea of supporting Taliban in Afghanistan capable of giving you “strategic depth” vis a vis India? Letting Taliban & its off shoots take over Swat, Buner… - is it in your national interest?
Fight your own war, O Pakistan.
Brigadier saheb,
You are sure about Miranshah camp and in area of 100 canals.Also quari hussein suicide bomber trainer is staying there.
You have your helicopter gunships which killed nawab of Bugti in his cave.The recnet Baoch killing is also traced to some elements in FC.
But your F16s and helicopter gunships will not engage and destroy this MIRANSHAH CAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!
why? Why do you want Americans to do your job? Why Why?Why your Army fears trhis guy?
Anyone who cares for what is happening to Pakistan,
It’s pointless (and dishonest) to blame people like Maulana Sufi, Fazlullah, Baitullah or Osama for the violence & terror that is killing our children. For years we have been promoting and condoning the use of violence and terror to achieve our “national interest” and “strategic depth”, and all this is done in the name of Islam & Jihad. Now the monster which we so lovingly created and nurtured to spread destruction, bloodshed, misery and hate amongst the kafir has decided that we, it’s erstwhile masters, are kafir too. It is the height of denial and self-delusion for us to try to disown them now.
What kind of immoral, perverted logic is it that allows us to celebrate and praise someone as a hero and freedom fighter for Jihad fisabil Allah when he kills someone else’s children only to call him a terrorist when he kills ours? What is this depraved creed that we follow which teaches us that we can do evil in the name of good, and not be defiled by it?
We have been indulging in this moral schizophrenia for so long that we can no longer tell right from wrong. The result is corruption and decay: our Nation dismembered, our infrastructure crumbling (unless you live in Defence Colony), our education a joke, our democratic institutions dysfunctional, our children (those too poor to escape overseas) look forward to either being a perpetrator or victim of suicide bombing.
But all that aside, the most grievous consequence is the effect on our Nation’s soul. Our moral blindness infects our hearts and our children’s too; it replaces the teachings of Allah with hate, unreason & beastliness; gone are mercy, forgiveness, love and peace. Eventually, we lose our humanity and become twisted, hateful monsters ourselves, living short, brutish and nasty lives, just like in the time of Jahilia.
Am I being unfair in assigning responsibility to us, the people of Pakistan, instead of our leaders? No, I am not. People everywhere get the government that they deserve, and so did we. May Allah help us find our moral compass again.
