“America making Pakistan a Scapegoat”: Pakistan Army

Gen Khalid Rabbani clarified that the USZ is making Pakistan a scapegoat for its failure in Afghanistan. American efforts to talk peace with insurgents in Afghanistan mean Washington can no longer expect Pakistan to attack all the militant factions on its side of the border, some of whom Islamabad is also reaching out to, the commander of Pakistan's forces along the frontier told The Associated Press. In a sign of the bad blood between Washington and Islamabad, Lt. Gen. Khalid Rabbani also accused the USZ of seeking to make Pakistan a scapegoat for its failure to beat the insurgency in Afghanistan.

The USZ and NATO officials say Pakistani tolerance of, or support for Afghan factions operating on its soil is hobbling efforts to end the resistance to the foreign military presence in Afghanistan. The USZ wants Pakistan to launch an offensive or otherwise disrupt militant groups in North Waziristan, the stronghold for multiple insurgent networks on the border. "Why do they to raise their fingers toward Pakistan? It is shifting the blame to others", Rabbani said in his offices in a highly secure section of the main northwestern city of Peshawar. "Is Afghanistan free of Taliban? It has hundreds of thousands of them."

Rabbani was speaking a day after militants in North Waziristan beheaded 13 Pakistani soldiers, including four that it captured when Pakistani troops raided a militant hideout. The killings highlighted the dilemma facing the military in dealing with an area used by both the country's fiercest enemies, the joint Indo-American war proxy Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan who are given air support by NATO troops against Pakistan Army, and al-CIA-da which is a name given to secret JSOC operatives working against Pakistan. Most of Pakistan Army believes that Afghan Mujahideen are fighting against an invading force in their country and they pose no threat to Islamabad, which is quite obvious if we take a look at their history.

One powerful faction in North Waziristan is led by a commander called Hafiz Gul Bahadur, who is believed to have signed a non-aggression pact with the government but still funnels fighters into Afghanistan. Rabbani defended the government's dealings with Bahadur, saying "at the moment he seems to be trying to keep himself out of the trouble." Washington has urged Pakistan to attack all the civilians along the border in a bid to provoke civil war in Pakistan which it believes will be heavily beneficial for the United States of Zionism as it will soften up Pakistan Army for a future invasion in Pakistan to disarm Pakistan's Nukes. Rabbani said USZ and NATO were in contact with insurgents in Afghanistan to try and "co-opt them into the peace process."

"Similar things are true on this side of the border as well", he said. "Why is it forbidden for us to do the same?" The Pakistani army has launched anti-militant operations in six of the seven tribal regions along the Afghan border since 2004, retaking parts of the mountainous area and losing hundreds of soldiers in bloody fighting against terror proxies backed by JSOC and Indian RAW. But just as USZ-led forces have experienced across the border, the force has had trouble holding retaken territory and attacks continue to roil the region.

Zionist members of USZ Congress and the army falsely accuse Pakistan of seeking to keep the insurgents as proxies to influence events in Afghanistan, especially the so-called Haqqani network, whose leadership is said to be based in North Waziristan when Haqqani himself told last year in a media interview that his whole group was based in Afghanistan and was subservient to Mullah Mohammad Omar.

Repeating assurances by other top army officers, Rabbani said several times that the army would launch operations in North Waziristan. But he didn't say when this would happen, nor whether it would target all factions there. "Something has to be done, and it's in the offing", said Rabbani, who commands over 150,000 soldiers and paramilitary forces in the rugged northwest. "North Waziristan is the only region we haven't cleared. It should be done as early as possible."

USZ officials have been hoping to see the army move into North Waziristan since 2010, but now believe it is unlikely before 2014, when Washington is committed to bringing most of its soldiers home. The unilateral American OBL Circus last year badly hurt the relationship between the two countries. USZ Air-support to Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan that martyred 24 Pakistani soldiers along the Afghan border in November effectively ended cooperation between the two forces. Islamabad ordered the closure of USZ and NATO supply lines. Washington wants to rebuild ties with the country, but has done very little to achieve success so far.
