slamabad—The arrest of Faisal Shahzad, a US citizen of Pakistan origin in connection with Saturday’s failed New York Times Square car bombing might well be a conspiracy hatched by India to tarnish image of Pakistan and force the US to put more pressure on it in the fight against terrorists. According to leading analysts, Faisal Shahzad’s prompt confession shows that the failed plot was certainly part of a wider conspiracy. Faisal Shahzad seems to have been lured by Indian and Zionist agents to achieve their nefarious designs. Pakistan, the only nuclear power in the world, is an eye-sore for both Israel and India whose animosity towards the Islamic countries is well known to every one.

The handling of the case by India-born US Federal Attorney Preet Bharara, who was also spearheading the prosecution of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed leaves no doubt about the outcome of the trial as he would be guided more by allegiance to his country whose bellicosity towards Pakistan is well known.

Handling of the case by an Indian-born Hindu establishes the conspiracy theory against Pakistan. On the one hand it might be aimed at tarnishing Pakistan’s image as a front line state against terrorism and on the other an attempt to dub the Kashmiris, struggling for their right to self-determination as terrorists. It is no more a secret that in view of its sinister designs against Pakistan, India is fully siding with the terrorists.

More, this time in an editorial itself:

There are, therefore, apprehensions that the New York drama was enacted by American intelligence agencies to force Pakistan to do more. There are also theories that India too could have a hand in the episode as efforts are being made to establish links of Faisal Shahzad with Jaish-e-Muhammad, a group fighting Indian occupation forces in Kashmir. The objective could be to malign Kashmiris ...

CIA drones hit wider range of targets in Pakistan (Reuters)

The CIA received approval to target a wider range of targets in Pakistan's tribal areas, including low-level fighters whose identities may not be known, U.S. officials said on Wednesday.

CIA needs to bomb all MIB (Men in Browns) in only two towns - Islamabad and Rawalpindi. GOAT would be over in 24 hours.

Pervez Hoodboy in Yawn on Fiasco Shehzad
Entertaining read.

As anti-US lava spews from the fiery volcanoes of Pakistan’s private television channels and newspapers, a collective psychosis grips the country’s youth. Murderous intent follows...

Faisal Shahzad, with designer sunglasses and an MBA degree from the University of Bridgeport, acquired that murderous intent. Living his formative years in Pakistan...at some point the toxic schooling and media tutoring must have kicked in. {oh, ya bet. heh heh }

There was guilt as he saw pictures of Gaza... Internet browsing or, perhaps, the local mosque steered him towards the idea of an Islamic caliphate.

This solution to the world’s problems would require, of course, the US to be destroyed.
...
Ideas considered extreme a decade ago are now mainstream. {AoA, I guess. devilution happens}

A private survey carried out by a European embassy based in Islamabad found that only four per cent of Pakistanis polled speak well of America; 96 per cent against. {For the record, it zimbly can't be that the khans are unaware of what virus they breed in the TSP biofreak lab}

Although Pakistan and the US are formal allies, in the public perception the US has ousted India as Pakistan’s number one enemy.
Remarkably, anti-US sentiment rises in proportion to aid received. Say a good word about the US, and you are labelled as its agent. From what TV anchors had to say about it, Kerry-Lugar’s $7.5bn may well have been money that the US wants to steal from Pakistan rather than give to it.

Oh, read it all. Only.

Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said the alleged bomber's possible links to the Pakistani Taliban will not change the U.S. approach to Pakistan or support for Pakistan's step-by-step approach to confronting internal terrorism threats.

"We are in the passenger seat, they are behind the wheel," Morrell said. "They are the ones who are going to determine the direction, the pace, the speed of their operations."

Clinton warns Pakistan of terror 'consequences'

"We've gotten more co-operation and it's been a real sea change in the commitment we've seen from the Pakistan government. We want more. We expect more."

"We've made it very clear that if - heaven-forbid - an attack like this that we can trace back to Pakistan were to have been successful, there would be very severe consequences," she warned.

FAISAL SHAHZAD
Aged 30
Naturalised US citizen born in Pakistan
Resident of Bridgeport, Connecticut
Married - wife and two young children believed to be in Karachi
Awarded a master's in business administration from University of Bridgeport in 2005
Visited Pakistan at least eight times in recent years, according to local officials

Profile: Faisal Shahzad

Pakistan's government has promised to co-operate with the investigation into the failed car-bomb attack in Times Square, which has uncovered possible links to the Pakistani Taliban and an Islamist group in Kashmir.

Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik said the US had made a formal request to Pakistan to investigate links between the main suspect, Faisal Shahzad, and militants in the north-west.

"They think that Shazhad had been visiting South Waziristan and meeting [Taliban leaders] Qari Hussain and Hakimullah Mehsud. But it all needs confirmation," he said on Saturday.

Mr Shahzad, who was born in Pakistan and became a US citizen last year, has been charged with terrorism, attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. He has yet to appear in court.

Prosecutors say Shazhad is continuing to co-operate with investigators, and has admitted to receiving bomb-making training Waziristan.

ABC News has reported that Mr Shahzad told investigators he was angry because friends had been killed by CIA strikes in Pakistan, his personal life was in crisis, and he feared for the safety of his family.

Paradoxically America is disliked more in Pakistan than in countries which have born the direct brunt of its attacks — Cuba, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Why?

On the other hand, the cities of Hanoi and Haiphong were carpet-bombed by B-52 bombers and Vietnam’s jungles were defoliated with Agent Orange. Yet, Vietnam never developed visceral feelings like those in Pakistan.

So whats the paradox here? Rather than Aid and good intentions, newer and more deadlier versions of Agent Orange might just do the trick. Getting Paki's to like US or curtailing the hatred. Thats it. The core doctrine that terroristani's understand is *Fear*. They act, feel, worship, behave on the basis of that sentiment. Fear and not logic, compassion, understanding, reason is what they understand and respect. The latter lot are taken as signs of weakness that must be exploited at an appropriate time. They only respect an emotion called fear. So give it to them. India fails miserably at that. Bush got that right for a small period with his "With us or the" speech. Gaddafi browned his pants all over and did a complete u turn, because for some reason he feared Bush would go after his lot one after the other. There was genuine fear and they respected it. Same applies to Pukes.

Jihadi sethi cleary & unequivocally lays out the TSP RAPE strategy. And they still believe the threat of terror will deliver them the goods. Hilary may threaten TSP, and TSP will surely moderate its cancer to only spread eastwars into India, but cancer is cancer, as Faisal skunk showed, and so the double game that not only TSP is playing, but US as well since 9/11 has to stop. As long as TSP believes its India-specific terror is justified and US goes along with that, nothing will change. It bears repeating a 1000 times and more: India needs to extract a price from TSP to cause a reversal in this thinking. MMS's "South Asianess" will only breed more contemp towards India from Pakis. "Hilthi hui deewar kho, yak dhakka aur dho" is the predominant thinking among Pakijabis.

I am amazed at paki thinking. You have a sinking economy a ticking population time bomb a fanatical population and now the worlds only superpower is asking you to get your act together and so what you do your prime minister & army chief go to some army ground pull couple of North Korean missles painted in paki colors and fire them. Dont know why they keep testing time tested missles again & again without any visible improvement. Then you have the audacity to ask world to accept you as a nuclear power. I mean come on guys plus you add that power shortage is the biggest problem in porkistan and so world needs to give them a nuclear deal and the catch here is not just the deal India got but this one includes all nuclear reactors for FREE. Yes absolutely free since porkies do not have any kuffar $$ to pay for these toys as usual so they want 3.5 to pay for these new masculanity enhancing toys as they have done since 1947.

Now there is an optimistic part of my brain that tells me this is an futile H&D exercise for rakait mard's to show porkies are not scared of the current situation and in reality they are preparing for the biggest GUBO since 9/11. I wish we have Bush admin here insted of the current spineless administraton between Condi & Amritraaj they would have put the biggest danda up their musharraf.

WASHINGTON: In a remark that has caused resentment and mortification among many Pakistanis, a Pakistani-American community leader has said Pakistanis are posing as Indians in the US to escape discrimination.

The comment has angered some Pakistanis. ''I’d rather be called a terrorist than an Indian,'' one Pakistani blogger fumed, even as the American media was filled with self-lacerating laments from Pakistani-Americans about their future in the US.

'Sometimes, I long for the blurry cultural identities of the 80s, when elementary school friends lumped all Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan and Egyptian immigrants in one brown-hued bucket: "India." Who wouldn't rather be affiliated with Slumdog Millionaire, Metro PCS's Ranjit and Chad, Chicken Tikkah Masala, Bhangra remixes and Bollywood instead of religious extremism and Al Qaeda?'' writer Wajahat Ali said in another lament on Salon.

But a prominent Pakistani commentator cautioned against such schadenfreude.

''Indian opportunism in terms of painting Pakistanis as the problem is un-Indian & self-defeating. When we get profiled, YOU get profiled,'' Mosharraf Zaidi, a US based political economist, warned.

There are conflicting messages from US on the Times Square perpetrator. One hand the secy of State gives a totuhg message and the other the Pentagon and other spokespersons give soft message absolving any culpability before the investigations. So it will be business as usual.

One thing the experts should think about is if non-state -actors were supported for use against India, then why are they being used against the US?

And the Petraus justification means the US supports the TSP creating non state actors for use against India. What kind of mindset is that to give justification that TSP has Non state actors for use against India? Arent they being used against US? What does it matter what excuse the TSP gives the US?

The correct line should be no terror whether state or non state. PERIOD.

That should be the job of the Indian govt & media instead of Sania Mirza's love life with a Paki pervert or feeling maacho going after Lalit Modi. For a start, MMS should set aside his "South Asian" dream, and call Obama; a phone call from Indian PM won't be ignored, unlike a phone from me to Obama would

, and MMS should convey his relief that the times square bomb didn't go off, and should remind Obama that India hasn't been so lucky, and as US demans TSP to crack down on terrorists, he should remind Obama of Mumbai and other terror attacks by TSP, and urge Obama not to overlook LET, as all the terror groups' ideology is related. Furthermore, the loud mouths on Indian TV who think they are Bill O'Rielly or Shawn Hannity for going after their own people should instead focus on terrorist Miliband's strange silence now, not offering his gratuitous advice to US as he did to India after Mumbai on behalf of LET chief Hafeez Saeed that India must hand over Kashmir to TSP to avoid more Mumbais.

This is the self destruction that I expected long back when I said that Pakis will shoot themselves in the foot.

From the LATimes article (above):

But, the senior official said, if the Taliban has widened its focus to carry out attacks on the United States, then "it would change the game." He added that it could force the U.S. to reassess the threat it faces from Pakistan and how best to respond.

It is not that simple for the US to keep tabs on these yahoos, EVEN with the help of the ISI. Notwithstanding the yahoos within the ISI that are anti-US, there must be a few that just find it fun to take on such assignments in the name of Islam. That spectrum of yahoos is so wide that the US will never be able to keep a tab on all of them - be sure that some are double agents too.

I just do not think withdrawing from A'stan on schedule and letting the ISI fill some vacuum will suffice. In fact that will only make matters worse. Eventually the US will need non-ISI help. And, no Paki can be on that team for sure.

I still think Pakistan needs to be broken up, ISI needs to be dissolved, and what remains of Pakistan needs to come under some sort of stewardship - a Marshal plan of sorts, till a civilization can be imposed on them.

Respected members, not sure if this is the correct forum, but I humbly submit a brief article I wrote up today on the link between P'stan and terror. Would much appreciate comments on how to improve it - in particular, pointing me in the direction of a more concrete list of terror incidents involving Pakistan would be excellent.

A bit of context: so many of my American friends are completely nonplussed when faced with Faisal Shahzad-type incidents, and don't connect the dots between P'stan and terrorism. This article is an attempt to educate and inform those types, so keep in mind that it is geared to Western layman audiences.

I also wanted to avoid politics and deeper cultural discussion as much as possible, which necessarily ignores some important issues but hopefully not at the cost of the overall thesis.
