American spokesman Mark Toner in his daily briefing practically has declared war on Pakistan. He has stated that the U.S will keep on targeting terrorists wherever they are found (including Pakistan) and will expect Pakistan to take action against all ‘varieties’ of terrorists— specially those whom Washington pinpointedly declares fit to die (like Akhtar Mansoor) and not those whom America in collaboration with Afghanistan and India funds breeds and protects (like Moulvi Fazlullah).
Time has come for Pakistan to take necessary ‘policy’ steps to say No to the U.S designs to reduce Pakistan to the status of an “extension of India” in this region.
These necessary ‘policy’ steps cannot be taken by a government whose prime minister’s financial empire is headquartered in London the unofficial capital of the CIA for its Asian operations.
Even a layman can now see and understand that a new ‘Axis of the Three’ is in the making to foil Pakistan’s plans to benefit from its strategic position accentuated by the ongoing Pak-China Economic Corridor Project that will link the North-West-Central Asia with Gwadar—which has long been regarded as the fundamental sector behind the Great Game.
America has occupied Afghanistan, and provided India ‘bases’ there to operate against Pakistan at will. The reason Americans want the Taliban to be effectively marginalized is that they are ‘Pashtoons’ who are comprised of tribes that have homes on both sides of the mountains. These Pashtoons will not become ‘stooges’ of India in any plans to destabilize Pakistan. Even though America had succeeded in establishing a network of anti-Pakistan Taliban, but the success of the ongoing Operation Zarb-i-Azb has been a great cause of frustration both, in Washington and in New Dehli.
The killing of a person called Wali Mohammad, declared to be the ex-Taliban Chief, is an indication of the future designs of America-led axis of the three. More Wali Mohammads may cross over to Pakistan from Iran and get killed on Pak territory. And more ‘reasons’ may be manufactured to brand Pakistan as a safe haven for terrorists.
Pakistan has to act. And act fast to match American blackmail with a hard-hitting National Policy.
Let America know Pakistan is a Nuclear State, and can’t be cowed down at will.
This message to America can’t be delivered by a government manned by traders, both of goods and consciences.
