Al Qaeda: War
built 157 days ago
Why did Al Qaeda declare war on Pakistan? It goes back to moves last October, that shifted segments of Old-Guard & purged ISI against the government. They don’t like the direction towards peace with India and a settlement of the Jammu and Kashmir dilemma.

In a talk in late November that was supposed to be about Iran and Al Qaeda, Phares made a crucial point that no events are fully separate from any others in the age of globalization. He said there is “never a day without a major event” and listed almost 10 different situations in the region that have been in the news lately, from the never-ending Palestinian-Israel conflict to the Pope’s recent visit to Turkey to the expansion of the genocide in Sudan and, of course, to the war in Iraq.

To get Congress and the public to accept their nonsensical detour, the Bushites claimed that al Qaeda had a presence in Iraq. That turns out to have been another of their little fibs, but guess what? Thanks to Bush’s invasion and occupation of this Muslim nation, al Qaeda now has a great big presence there. They’ve been able to recruit thousands of mostly young men to go to Iraq and fight the Bushites’ imperialist ambitions. In fact, Iraq has now become al Qaeda’s top recruiting ground! Indeed, al Qaeda now exports war-tested veterans from Iraq to train anti-American forces in Afghanistan and elsewhere.

Today, more than 12,500 Anbari recruits, the overwhelming majority of them Sunnis, are fighting or preparing to fight Al Qaeda despite ferocious counterattacks by the terrorists against them and their families. Tribal leaders are negotiating with the Iraqi government to rebuild their war-torn province. Violence in the provincial capital has dropped precipitately, from 108 deaths a week in mid-February to seven in the second week of May. Al Anbar has gone from hopeless to a beacon of hope and a signal of the turn of Iraq's Sunnis against their erstwhile terrorist allies.

Senior American officials say Iran, which shares a 600-mile border with Afghanistan, may be abetting the escape of Al Qaeda and Taliban members and ... frustrating the US war on terror. There are also reports that Iran is aiding militants, including the Pashtun fundamentalist leader Gulbud din Hekmatyar, who are not at all supportive of Afghanistan's interim administration.
