To turn a dangerous enemy to an ally is success of strategy. A dangerous enemy who was created to destroy the evil empire of yester years now works for US this is the success of grand strategy. The other alternative could have been to bomb them out of existence and make more enemies; instead to use them for self-preservation and rely on their talent to eradicate terrorism is a smart move. ISI is said to a state within state but it keeps catching the most important of the Al Qaeda fugitives. 66% of the catch in Guantamno base comes from joint cooperation of CIA and ISI, the way CIA have utilised assets of ISI is a great success of grad new strategy to rely on the most experienced hands within central Asia and Middle east to deal with the dirtiest of the operators, of course such close co-operation my help ISI to become more democratic too, after all their masters present CIA operatives are great democrats themselves and come from a great democratic country. ISI should now be handled in a manner that they become advanced listening posts and assets of US in that part of the world. A treacherous enemy can only be dealt by equal smart alliance building.
Now since 911 many an articles have been published in NYT and W.Post on the concept of state within state operated by ISI. I have been resolutely writing that probably all this propaganda is spearheaded by enemies of my country who have their own agenda to make mislead general US citizens enemy for their own purposes. Much as I detest the tentacles of ISI and its far reaching ability to destabilise I am at least sure of one thing after the arrests of nearly entire Al Qaeda leadership short of Zahwari and Laden that ISI has been in sync with policy of Mush. The point I want to raise is that how much negative propaganda is carried out by so called very intelligent journalists. It is yellow journalism to feed a common man in America with information totally opposite to what actually is happening in the world, the time when recently an article appeared that ISI is running a state within state and it not in control of Mush at the same time it was ISI trying to catch the master mind of 911.
If this is not co-operation what else is, I know one thing well had it not been for Powell, Cheney and Bush trio even Ms. Rice my country would have been obliterated by likes of Hoagland, Hershey and other right wing extremists of the American journalism, I am proud that once again like so many times in past 2 years they would be ashamed of their analysis. Not that it matters as this will only be a small note on SI but so strong is my believe now that US is generally fed by slanted views of the world, the simple people are fed up list of enemies with a slanted agenda, US will and cannot take on the entire Islamic world they need tallies like Pakistan and Turkey who can be the front posts to protect greater interests of US of Americas. Bombing every nation with smart weapons may look easiest of the solutions but making them allies to co-operate is far greater a successful strategy, my hats off to Mr. Bush Jr to sew up and alliance with countries who were the hot bed of these terrorists until 911. If US who helped them to fight Soviets and made them dreadful countries had a change of heart why not these countries like Pakistan be given equal benefit of doubt and be allowed to become equally an important allies to root out the seed that was sown earlier to destroy the evil empire USSR. The big wars are won by making alliances and Marshall plans not by slanted agendas based on agendas to progress self views that are very narrowly based.
A great power like US should have greater visions and forbearance to look at the bigger picture the narrow scope of the Washington based media and people like Oriellies make me wonder if Americans are being sincerely fed the right set of news, it s for this reason what Post write last year has come to be so wrong this year, it is for this reason that under Clinton US slept in a slumber and Mr. Khalid was able to escape in 1995 after planning the huge destruction over Pacific, if Clinton would have taken equal interest in destruction of these cells there would have been no 911. Bush Jr should take the credit and he is responsible for making America safer for Americans, with influence and power comes greater responsibilities too. The catching up of Abu Zubayada, Shilb and Khaled and elimination of 6 in Yemen are part of that greater successful stratify of course short termists liberals and focussed journalists to make this as a war of civilisations would never ever understand it. Under Bush the terrorism would be certainly eliminated he has the determination and focus, that what distinguishes America today from the lack lustre era of Clinton where all this thrived. |
