The Pakistanis have been gearing up to put an end to US imperialism in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia. Frankly I think the suppression of "terrorists" in the area would be much more efficient if the Pakistanis would pull the plug (see below) and take on themselves the responsibility of seeing that international attacks are not generated from Afghanistan and Waziristan. As the Bush administration has amply demonstrated, otherwise national resistance to foreign, western powers (who are not particularly interested in the civilian population) leads to augmentation of "terrorist" groups by giving them nationalistic support.

Turning Away From American State Terrorism
Reply
In Pakistan we find the complete history of the American “war on terrorism,” from its Cold War origins nearly thirty years ago to its present incarnation in the illegal American aggression in Pakistan’s Frontier region (FATA, Federally Administered Tribal Areas) and in American attempts to reignite the Cold War with Russia.

Video shows US military lying about killing Afghan civilians
Reply
On August 22, the US military reported that an airstrike in Herat province killed 30 militants and no civilians. It didn' t take long for locals and Afghan officials to dispute this report , claiming that the toll included scores of civilians. The toll rose as bodies were pulled from the rubble, rising to at least 90 civilians , a count later confirmed by a United Nations investigator . The US however stuck to its original account, revising the number only slightly to include seven civilians killed. The US has also accused villagers who claimed higher numbers killed of spreading Taliban propaganda. However, a video has emerged which seems to dispute the US military' s account and support the accounts of every other agency.

This week, Obama claimed, again, that he'd promptly capture Osama bin Laden. OK, tell me how: Specifically, which concrete measures would he take that haven't been taken? How would he force our intelligence agencies to locate bin Laden? And he can't just respond, "That's classified."
He also claimed that fighting terrorism is a law-enforcement problem, not a military one (should we send the NYPD to Mosul and Kandahar?), and that the answer to terrorism is the approach taken after the 1993 World Trade Center attack, featuring conventional trials and prison terms.
