Winning The War On Terror In Pakistan
I sometimes feel I am living in a parallel universe and seeing things that no one else can see, which typically makes me feel like I must be on the wrong side of things. I find it interesting today that the news out of Pakistan and its elections are on how the opposition parties can find a two thirds majority coalition to impeach Musharraf, when in fact the people voted for an end to terrorism in their midst. Am I the only one who sees the coming train wreck for those just swept into power? These people ran an Obamish campaign on peace and handing out money to all, so why are they plotting for a constitutional showdown and ignoring the growing Islamo Fascists rising up all around them?
The obsession with gaining power which consumes the responsibility to focus on protecting the people you serve is a common cancer found when humanity pools it resources into governments. It is this misdirected and self serving effort that has the left turning into the Surrendercrat Party here in the US. They will risk boosting the power and prestige of Bin Laden by surrendering Iraq to gain power. They will tear down our national defenses based on false stories planted in the press to gain power. They will negotiate with those last few rogue states backing our enemies to gain power. They have decided we can all sacrifice for their greater good. A truly bizarre and unsustainable rationalization few sane people (on the ‘to be sacrificed’ side) will support.
I noted late last night that Pakistanis had rejected the Islamic Extremists who have been wreaking havoc across the nation for months leading up to the elections last Monday. I also noted previously (and it is being reported again today) that polls in Pakistan show the Taliban and al-Qaeda as popular as the Democrat led Congress is here in the US – which is pretty well loathed by a vast majority of the people. It is a 80-20 tilt away from these bloody extremists in Pakistan.
So, do the polls and the votes show an interest in getting rid of the elected President or getting rid of the murderous al-Qaeda and Taliban? Even if one wanted to argue that the people may want both removed, the fact is Bhutto’s power hungry widower wants to open negotiations with the murderers who have massacred Pakistanis by the thousands:
The Pakistan People’s Party of slain former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, now headed by her widower, Asif Ali Zardari, says the parliament should decide on the fate of the embattled president and the deposed judges.
…
Zardari has said he wants to open dialogue with al Qaeda- and Taliban linked militants — a sharp departure from Musharraf’s hard-line approach.
Ironic how this ‘husband’ wants to negotiate with the assassins of his wife. I guess I must be totally cynical to note that for the one person who benefited most from the death of Bhutto – the now powerful Zardari – is also one of the few insiders who could help the assassins take out his beloved. So I guess his plan now is to work with these thugs to do what?
The Islamo Fascists don’t negotiate – they take and control. They dominate by any means possible. Their brand of democracy is to hold guns at the heads of the voters (or their loved ones):
Two days before parliamentary elections, a suicide car bomber attacked members of Benazir Bhutto’s opposition party Saturday at an election office in Parachinar in northwest Pakistan, killing at least 37 people and wounding dozens more.
Other stories of violence here. Call me naive but I don’t think the Pakistanis will let al-Qaeda and the Taliban continue their reign of terror, and I don’t think al-Qaeda and the Taliban have the self control to curb it. Either they are using the naive peace movement or some in the movement are traitors to the fascists – but it won’t last even a few weeks if the Taliban and al-Qaeda start to come forward to either quash the new fledgling democracy or take control of it.
This is not Germany in the 1930’s – though I am sure some think it is. Unlike when the fascists took hold of that country Pakistanis do not support the oppressors in their midst. What seems to be brewing is a train wreck for the newly elected parties. They must do something about the terrorists – but the terrorists are not going to go quietly or live peacefully amongst the infidels.
I give the current anti-Musharraf focus coming out of Pakistan another couple of weeks before al-Qaeda and the Taliban arise again and demonstrate the impotency or complicity of the new leaders. Bin Laden needs a win, and he needs territory to restart his war against the West. Whatever ‘liberal’ brain trust guiding these fools to focus on impeachment instead of securing the safety of the people is so far from reality it cannot survive. Much like the liberal mindset here in America, to ignore the threat of Islamo Fascism is to commit political suicide.
I’m thinking you want to see your predictions coming true,
but are omitting the detail of the many parties in Pakistan,
none of whom have a governing majority, and who now must
stitch together some form of coalition.
Bhutto’s party, PPP won about 78 seats. Close behind them
were the PML-N, 65 seats, Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz,
representing Nawaz Sharif, a former PM.
Here’s what Bill Roggio says about the PML-N
Nawaz Sharif and his party, the Pakistani Muslim League-Nawaz, were also expected to win big. The PML-N is poised to take second place in the National Assembly polling and will also control the provincial government of Punjab. While Sharif was not allowed to run for political office, he is exercising power through his party. Sharif has opposed military operations against the Taliban and has been accused of accepting bribe money from Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda
So the second place showing went to supporters of the taleban and
al-kyder. That hardly sounds like grounds for breaking out the
chardonnay, unless you’re a liberal and you are breaking out the “new world” chardonnay.
It sounds like terror came in a close second.
Now it may be possible for the PPP to form a coalition with the
PML-Q (Keep Up!) that’s Musharraf’s party, and leave the taleban
party out in the cold. Or maybe not.
But the PML-N want Musharaff impeached, and it could
happen.
If you can explain why the West should be rejoicing, then I’m all
ears. At the moment, al-kyder looks closer to their dream,
seizing control of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal. You can win the
hearts and minds of almost every man in Pakistan, but if
PML-N gets it’s hands on the nukes, then it’s all over time
for this grand experiment called the war on terror.
Sorry, this looks like a defeat to me, and one that brings the
world closer to war.
