Interesting analysis.I agree that Ahmad Qureshi has made some wild assertions.However as I see it the USA as Marx said may not be creating history but it makes use of a situation that it inherits.Like it made use of 9/11 to occupy Afghanistan......a great strategic attack .....larger in dimension than Operation Barbarossa!About the Zia crash I have some observations ! While reading declassified CIA archives from the CIA History Staff I came upon a passge of the CIA reports in 1997 ...." after the Soviet withdrawal US relations with Zia will become complicated" ! As an officer of the 1st Armoured Division when Zia crash occurred I also met many direct witnesses in 1988 including the major who was incharge of despatching the dead bodies by air ! The major stated that while alive Zia's arrival brought every one to the airport but on despatch he had few soldiers with clothes tied on face to avoid the stench.Even the official Airforce report stated sabotage to be the cause.The incident could be a CIA operation or a KGB operation.General Zia was not toeing the American line.In this scenario US relations with the Musharraf regime are good.However it appears that they want Benazir in the future power set up.Perhaps they hope that Benazir will be able to deliver.Although with Benazir's team as it stands I have grave doubts if she can deliver ! This is the pattern in history ! The English East India Company also first used local collaborators and once they outlived their utility the English stepped in ! Sooner or later the Americans will physically intervene ! This is why they made Afghanistan their base of operations ! Its going to be a very complicated,bloody and sticky affair ! The line between right and wrong would be blurred ! A confusion in principle has already been introduced ! Generals have forgiven the corruption of politicians and politicans have also forgiven te general.The elite is the same ! Both the civil and military first collaborated with the British an are collaborating with the Americans since 1947.The policy was initiated by Jinnah.The same story as Punjab collaboration of 1857 and now the collaboration with USA.Pakistan was not created for the common man.

In case anyone is interested in these Declassified CIA archives , these can be seen in the National Defence College Library to whom I presented these in 1996-97.These are about 12 volumes.

Thanks. Your posts are extremely valuable and authentic.
You wrote something about Taliban not having SAM capability. What was that?

Re: # 19
They dont have Surface to Air Missile capability.My assessment is that they will acquire it from Russia or China soon.Putin is the man who is going to paly hell with the Americans, if all goes well.In 2003 I had written an article in NATION that Afghanistan is Russia's Strategic Opportunity.

Yes SAM capability is crucial to them. It was only when they acquired Stingers that the Mujahideen (not Taliban at that point) drove the russians out.
So you think Putin will deliver those. Fair analysis, given the lost russian pride over the americans.
But what If I say that it is only a matter of time before they get hold of some shoulder-fired ones from the Pakistan military's arsenals?
Taliban are good pay masters, and Pakistani army knows they better do something for their retirement instead of being paid in pumpkins as the russians did their army in the end.

In guerrilla warfare and covert operations nothin can be ruled out.

ChachaZee,
Jhooth bolna achchhee baat naheen hai !!!!
In February 2007, you wanted us to believe that US itself had created 9/11.
Please refer to your posts #205 & #217 in "Get over the victim syndrome" board on Chowk.

It appears that in true lululand fashion, you have once again made a complete about turn. Waah !!!

Interesting observation regarding the MAJ, read some of my posts where I debate the high priest of the Church of MAJ, Manto. You have missed an important part in this generalization and that is that this collaboration with the imperialists and feudals received a setback during the ZAB era when Pakistan lost its status of "house slave" with the US and was put back on track by the Zia ul Fcuk. You also miss the fact that in this equation the military is primarily what the US deals with, the civilians are to them untrustworthy and mere stop gaps. In all talks of Pakistani elite, the military as an institution tops all and is second to none in corruption on a society wide level.

You are an idiot hamid, if you don't understand something or something is beyond your level of comprehension don't make a fool of yourself by commenting on it anyway. The military conducted its own internal investingation of the Zia ul Fcuk blowing up and I happened to talk to the person incharge of that investigation, nonetheless what happened to Saddam who was first pampered and then discarded by the US much like Noriega, and to other tin pot dictators supported for their "use value" by the US and then discarded when they develop amnesia about how they become powerful and act independant is no "conspiracy" but a predictable relationships coming out of a US dominated global system. Now go back to the "substance abuse" that describes your pathetic life

Utterly & Completely respected Masadi,
Now you have started increasingly referring to the "Pakistani elite" (whoever they are). The earlier references to "US Power elite" have become less frequent.
Perhaps you are learning. Soon it will be "waziristan elite" and then "kunpao elite".By next year you shall be referring to "cavedwelling elite".
The true evolution of Masadi the intellectual..... and Lululand shall rejoice.

Thanks for your comments.This was just a short response.I have always lauded ZAB.Many of my close friends were in Al Zulfiqar and our heart was with Murtaza.By civil and military elite I mean all starting from Sir Syed,Iqbal,Liaquat Ali Khan ,Feroz Khan Noon , Ghulam Mohammad and now Benazir.The idea of getting US aids father was Mr Jinnah and most ardent advocate Malik Ghulam Mohammad and Liaquat Ali Khan.Even Nawaz Sharif was pro American although now he claims a different line for pleasing the gallery as part of election campaign.The military yes was the main collaborator starting from the Punjab collaboration of 1857.

It is my conviction to answer to an assertion of substance based on real intellect . The language of street that you are using is incomprehensible to me ....exhibits lack of good grooming.The missionaries we studied with taught us good manners.

Venktaramani's classic work on US Pakistan relations covers in great depth the Pak-US relations.Also read Documents from the Spy's Nest...printed US secret correspondence from Tehran US Embassy 1979 if you can find it.
