The double-cross role of ISI and Talibans in Pakistan's tribal areas. What do ordinary, informed Pakistanis think?

What do ordinary Paksitanis think about the role of ISI and Mullahs in terrorist activities in and outside Pakistan? Some comments:

@traffic: “war is not won by arms and weapons, but with power of iman.”

Exactly! Just as arguments are not won by brains or logic, but with sheer power of imbecilic idiocy and monumental self-delusion!

BTW, Aren’t you going to follow the orders of your one-eyed HOMO “ameer-ul-momineen” and wear a Jihadi-Jacket to the Eastern Front? Or is being a Drawingroom-Jihadi is the extent of your imaan? lecturing the rest of us on the “fawaa’id-e jihad”??

Maybe they’ll make a VHS tape of your “ghazva” and upload it on “black-flags-to-washington-dc.com” website.

Please! Do us all a favor! JUST DO IT!

If Indians attack Taliban to fight alongside Army:Mahsud
The militant commander maintained that many a people might say the militants had been fighting the army since long, how it would be possible for them now to fight alongside them. “Therefore, I want to make it clear that …..

I wonder how is Pak Army gonna locate intruding indian armies when they can,t find 300 militants patroling the roads of Swat in broad day light, then pulling people out of their homes , then killing them in Chowks ……….

How are they gonna counter the indian radars when in the last five years they couldn’t locate Fazlullah’s FM radio station

or is there some jewish conspiracy in that ……………….. just a fu….g radio FM radio station ……………………

when will the day come when we will be able to avenge the losses we suffered from the hands of this Army’s sponsored Talibans ? ? ? ? ? ?

Would that they could take only few hundreds of the officers (in fact they (bhindians) already have so much population. Remember in 1971 India was going to charge only 200 of Pakistan army officers with war crimes however the “politician” brought them back…

BTW apart from the World War II were most of PoW numbers were exaggerated , the highest number of the PoW in a modern war who surrendered in front of the enemy is 90,368 , this record is held by our proud forces , they have all the intentions to improve this record…

Supercreature,

In 1971 there were people like you who were saying its propaganda only. In 2008 you are saying its propaganda only. The problem is that in know the facts, so do you.

What do you expect from somebody who is from Swat, Waziristan, Bajaur or Mohmand who knows Army is doing everything. Army is killing people, providing them with pasaages immmediately before start of shelling and in the case of Swat meeting with Fazlullah regularly. All this info is from different sources. Will you bother to authenticate this propaganda ? ? ?

Army/ISI is providing passages to taliban before start of any activity...it was narrated to me by a friend who lives there. It happened in Barra, very close to Peshawar, though its happening everwhere.

But its one of those stories that i have heared. Try to hear from someone who belongs to Swat.

who says those being killed in our tribal areas are innocent. Who said they were inncocents, according to media reports they belonged to Punjab and were travelling in Vehicles laden with heavy arms. What were militants from Punjab doing in Waziristan ? ? ? ? ?

Wasn’t he fighting them for some time before he fell, while our army was watching, try to imagine what must have been an alternative interpretation to that.

When he was digged out from his grave and his dead body hanged in a chowk, try to imagine where our army must have been at that time

the whole body hanged there till evening and then they returned to bring the body down, now imagine again and try to find an answer as to what the army was doing that whole day ? ? ?

why not accept the reality ? ? ?

Which newspaper has a different story on this thing ? a single newspaper …………. i m not quoting cnn …..

you are pushing the people of that area to the wall.

tomorrow when a third force will offer assitance to the people of the area, what do you think will be their reponse ?


Tell you what, there was once an operation in Barra, against Mangal Bagh. While the operation continued for a few days, i was searching for some good news about capture of Mangal Bagh, and what i found, you know, there was a statement from Mangal Bagh that i myself am busy in an operation in Kuram Agency against some other militant group ! ! ! ! !

Yes there were operations in Barra, and so far as i remember the Kohat tunnel was captured by some militants for some time but then was released without any casualty.

there is a task for you. try to find someone from Swat, Mingora or Matta and ask him whats happening ? ? ? ?

or else look in newspapers of the past prvious months, you will see pics of taliban beating people in public in broad day light, and then try to understand as to how is it possible. when you reach at some conclusion then come here and guide us.


taliban are good when they are ruling others, they are bad when they are ruling you …………

The trouble with Pakistani’s is that they don’t know sh!t but they like to play charades. I would say, if someone has citizen journalism of the area, then tell us what is happening.

Although I find the happenings there bizzarre. @uthmankel is right. Why is it that the taliban are able to congregate in areas where operation is happening, slaughter and behead people and the army is nowhere to be found…

?????

And as soon as india says they’ll attack, Army and Taliban are together. And some genius in ISPR announces that Taliban are “patriots” and that the differences are “minimal” ????? WTF???

Does ANY FUCKWIT DUMB FUCK in ISPR (I’m sure who you are and are probably reading this) FUCKING REALIZE HOW THIS LOOKS AS A TICKER ON CNN??

@utmankhel1

do differential between the “original” Talibans and “wanna be RAW and MOSSAD funded” talibans we have in Pakistan under the leadership of Baitullah Masud. The ground reality is more complex than a “Hawai fire” type statement…. “All Taliban are bad”… Anybody can come up any time.. make a small militia and brand themselves as Taliban…

my 2 cents

personally think (or maybe I want to believe) that Army is not actually fighting against the original Talibans but instead are trying to decieve the Nato forces ( Hence the recent voices of ” Do More” ).

This has been reported more than once that Army has provided info about Baitullah masud more than once to Nato forces. NATO has refused to take any action against his faction which raises the question … “are they on a payroll to “foreign forces” ? … and the answer is Yes. It explains why He has survives for so long and gets so much media attention. He is one of many scapegoats for justification of drone attacks.

My house of cards about army and patriotism came crashing down after “Lal Mosque” incident. On one side I have no hope or expectation from them. But on other hand if they don’t defend the country who will….

digital master,

71s happen when lies are told.

America has so far killed a number of high profile militants inside pakistan, that too being a western country and having comparatively less human intelligence, but tell us how many of the high profile militants have been killed by our army, despite having support of the locals, infrastructure and a comprehensive human intelligence sytem ?

a few months back Pak Army was given the exact location of Fazlullah and they did not act. They even did not deny the claim that they had intelligence of the bastard given by the provincial govt.

if you follow my posts i am focusing on Swat which i have know are criminals but our army is still in love with them.

...

There is a time when you are analysing the situation as to who is doing what, but then there comes a time when you have made a decision and only wait for a proper time to act.

All the drama started and we kept watching. It was far away in Waziristan and so we did not know much.Then it came close. Now its in every town/village of Pukhtunkhwa and we have had enough time to know who is doing what.

If you read my previous posts you would understand how much the people now know about this toopy drama of army/ISI. I know who is governing and how, so don’t make me repeat all what i have written already.

ISI, JI, ARMY, HAMID GUL, ZAID HAMID, QAZI, IMRAN KHAN, we know who was created when and who takes orders from where and who licks the boots where……… we hope they mend their ways and spare the common man.

Also according to your estimate whats the total number of militants in Swat and tribal areas and how many of them are foreigners ?

One Captain raped a doctor in Baluchistan and instead of punishing that crook captain, the whole Baluchistan is burning. Mush played a double game with USA and so is the Army doing for the last 40 years.
1-MQM was created by ISI-Army to divide Sindh and eliminate JM Syed.
2- To keep away ANP from Power ISI and Army kept rigging elections for JI and PML. MMA was created by ISI and so were Talibans.
These Talibans are supported by ISI and Army and the even ANP MNAs and MPAs are slaughtered in braod day light.

And nice diversion by trying to play with the egos of pakhtuns.

When we use the term TALIBAN we think that they are group of unanimous people which is not right of course. There are many groups who are fighting for different masters.
Before the famous U-turn of musharraf there were just talibans who were supported by Pak army as well as ISI of course. When musharraf got enlightened by the direct ‘vahee’ from USA via Colin Powell, he decided to disown taliban. Here comes the twist……The army part in general and the civilian part of ISI in paticular were not ready for that. Also there were (even now) some conflicts between ISI and IB. Musharraf also tried to downsize the power of ISI and gave more power to IB. Many officers had sympathies with taliban so they encouraged the local tribal people to resist the army actions against taliban. Those people are called pakistani taliban. Another group got supported by IB and called panjabi taliban(I am not sure about this though). In the meanwhile northern alliance along with Iran and Indian support, Ihl-e-hadees with Saudi support and many more groups got influences. They get mony from their supporters and fight each other. Each group use the name of Taliban. In swat most of the talibans( so-called) have the support from India(Those who burn school etc). Pir Samiullah was from Barailvy group belongs to panjabi taliban. When some of the houses of taliban comanders (in Swat) were raided by army, they found lingeries there(imagine poor people of swat and backward taliban).
Also local people of swat discovered that many of these taliban were not even muslim.
Keeping all this in mind I think that all the world players are fighting their war here and pashtuns being used as (I don’t want to say it but this is true) condoms.

The entire world knows that pakistan is playing a double game by having one taliban in their pocket and occasionally fighting against others for show and tell. All at that the expense of lives of pashtuns. On both sides, taliban, FC and army, pashtuns are involved and dieing. Yet, the leaders of taliban are free to do as they please due to blessing of ISI. In Quetta, taliban commanders live and run the war freely. In sawat, we already know what is going on.

These are not secrets or mysteries. It’s not hard to realize that pashtuns are the favorite cannon fodder for punjab based army leadership. I don’t care if it’s for greed or pan-islamist wet dreams, but the end result is that our people are slaves in pakistan. For pashtuns, it is simple logic that being slaves of NATO is a better alternative as they can actually provide us money for development and confronting taliban devils. Whatever respect I had for the pakistani state was lost when it sat on the sidelines while hundreds of pashtuns were slaughtered and beheaded by their pet jihadi dogs.

If you guys love jihad so much, have your ISI fight it in lahore. Leave us alone.

The world is really afraid of Pakistan army’s nuclear blackmail , they(army) have successfully used the nuclear black mail twice once during the Kargil war when they made the moves to use the nuke in Kashmir and then in 2000 when they planned to nuke Sind in case Indian forces cross Sind borders..
Pakistan army desperately wants to make amends with Mullahs , after the Lal Masjid fiasco mullahs and army got into real fight and Mullahs were able to hit army several times , the dilemma for the Pakistan army is to keep US away , as I said before the elections that they are ready to accept some levels of survival (including letting go the government in Pakistan, sharing the booty with civilians) however they won’t commit suicide. Therefore important thing to is to keep US away while getting into bed with Mullahs again… The nuclear blackmail to India they consider as the best option to keep US away from Pakistan territory…. the relevant point however is that whether Mullahs can be moved aways from the Afghanistan back into Kashmir.
Mumbai massacre was sort of a rendezvous of two estranged lovers meeting again at a familiar place. It has already washed away a lot of misgivings between Mullahs and Army , one can see this even at pkpolitics. But matters are very complicated in Afghanistan and FATA, Mullahs have much more misgivings touching the levels of hatred against the army. And reading the “story of General Alvi” it seems that there is a “strong” group in army who wants to settle the question of Mullahs too…

On the other hand, the other relevant question is , Will India give in yet again to the nuclear blackmail?? It seems so. There is no doubt the solution to the problem of Pakistan lies within Pakistan , it is only people of Pakistan who can correct this , the world can only help people of Pakistan.



Isn’t it amazing that the people who claim that Pakistan Army used chemical weapons (phosphorous bombs) against the innocent little babes of Jamia Hafza and burned them alive , have doubts about nuclear blackmail by the same army and that too against their arch-rival.
Isn’t it also amazing that the people who claim that Pakistan army is killing their own people in Swat , Waziristan and all the rest of FATA have doubts about Pakistan army blackmailing the world with their nuclear arsenal…

Let me put couple of questions
Why would army use the chemical weapons against the Lal Masjid girls??
Why would army kill kids, old men , civilian etc. in Waziristan??

Any answers???

That’s why I call these people hypocrites who think they are more patriotic than others , at least ahmedquraishis of this world don’t criticize thier “own” army… :)

This is a clash between the followers of Jinnah and the followers of Zia. The deep seated ideological faultlines are on a move again. The tectonic plates are inching slowly but surely towards a collision. It is a mutually in-coexistable situation. It is a difference of world views. On the one hand are those who believe in evolutionary democracy and federalism and uphold constitutionalism, they are inherently anti establishment (read anti GHQ), anti mulla and are progressives, I call them Jinnahists. Oppossing them are Ziaists, the intolerent, bloodthirsty, obscurantist mullah and their godfather Generals who spread hatred and intolerence in the name of Islam and shamelessly equate their personal and institutional interests with national security.

Traffic, is it pakistan army’s nuclear doctrine to attack any invading force inside Pakistan and as part of this strategy they will let indians come into sindh and nuke them.

The advantage in the eyes of jihadi generals is 1) they can use nukes without the same level of backlash as using nukes inside india 2) sindh gets radiated.

This is well known. For jihadi generals, pakistan’s survival is not important, killing the enemy is

Pakistan’s nuclear doctrine. Notice no. 3?

Pakistan’s Nuclear Doctrine would therefore essentially revolve around the first-strike option. In other words, the Pakistani government will use nuclear weapons if attacked by India even if the attack is with conventional weapons. With his experience of a graduated nuclear response, Professor Stephen P. Cohen feels that Pakistan would use what he calls an ‘option-enhancing policy’. This would entail a stage-by-stage approach in which the nuclear threat is increased at each step to deter India from attacking. These stages are as follows:

1. A public or private warning.
2. demonstration explosion of a small nuclear weapon on Pakistani soil.
3. The use of (a) nuclear weapon(s) on Pakistani soil against Indian attacking forces.
4. The use of (a) nuclear weapon(s) against critical but purely military targets on Indian soil, probably in thinly populated areas in the desert or semi-desert, causing the least collateral damage.

3. The use of (a) nuclear weapon(s) on Pakistani soil against Indian attacking forces. … wow so it is part of the doctrine, by the way Punjab borders are densely populated and the army is very compassionate with its own people therefore the use of nuclear weapons against the Indian attacking forces in Punjab will not be possible on the other hand Kashmir border is hilly terrain and Indian forces will be scattered over a large area in a small population.
Hence the best use of nuclear arsenal will be deserts of Sind where there is “some” (the remaining) population of “pee drinking” hindus, and the rest of the population does not look like muslims and Pakistani…

And I remember the “verbal diarrhea” guy giving the best proof of hindus involvement in Mumbai attacks said “Look at his (Kassab’s) face , he doesn’t look like Pakistani” ….

@kafka8
You have been asking this question several times how to differentiate between a “good military” and “faujinatanic forces” , it is exactly like differentiating between “good taliban” and “bad taliban” , you know how one defines “good taliban” and “bad taliban” , “bad taliban” are those which kill “you” and “good taliban” are those which kill “others”.
It sounds very “patriotic” that the “proud” army of Pakistan fighting against the “arch-enemy” and as they say “p.. drinking” hindus… However this is not true.. I’ll come back to this later…
There is another interesting aspect of this “false patriotism” , on the one hand this army is a “satanic force” , savage , barbaric and cold blooded murderers (remember Faraz’s poem “peshawar qatiloon tum sipahi nahi”), so this army burns alive “innocent girls” , bombards innocent kids in waziristan , and kills Nawab Akbar Bugti , rapes “Shazia Khalid” , abducts missing persons and commits every single crime on the earth. But the same army is transformed into “mujahid aided by the angels” against the “pee drinking” hindus , and they will themselves be angels and will fight with hindus in order to “defend” the same country against whose population they have committed all those crimes listed above. I will talk this myth too..

Third very important aspect to this “false patriotism” is that when talking about the atrocities of Pakistan Army against their own people , most of the liberals would argue that these atrocities are committed for three major reasons.
1. In order to save their rule (like Yahya , Zia and Musharraf did).
2. In order to get more money (like Zia and Musharraf did)
3. In order to keep “bloody civilians” fearful of the army (like the show of power in Balochistan , Lal Masjid etc..)

Now the army that can kill people for the sake of money , the army that can rape women for the sake of rule , the army that can burn kids/girls for the sake of instilling their fear in the hearts of people , What is wrong if the same army plan to use nukes in order to save itself from extinction….

Fourth as somebody mentioned that their may be few black sheep and we can not condemn the whole institution for this.. so few black sheep kill people , burn people , rape women and bomb villages and the “white” sheep keep quiet….

Finally your “cold military war strategies” nuking your own people did not even enter Hitler’s or Nepolean’s mind , by the way you can very well imagine why Nawaz Sharif , the “right wing” leader was so aggressive against the hiding of Kassab’s family because he know at what limits this army can reach…

So where does it end??? Do we remain under the clutches of this army forever? I believe NO , the stories like “Alvi” are coming out , the bond between Mullah and Military is slowly cracking , the politicians are in better position to deal with army than their predecessors. Slowly but surely things are changing… it may take time perhaps another generation.
Is their a quick solution , US/India getting rid of this army and giving people of Pakistan a clean country to run with democratic principles , the answer is NO , Iraq , Afghanistan is a stark example of this policy failure… they can only help us by supporting the civilian rule, remember this is in their benefit as well.

@kafka8
Let me quote Dosteovsky for you

People talk sometimes of bestial cruelty, but that’s a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as a man, so artistically cruel. The tiger only tears and gnaws, that’s all he can do. He would never think of nailing people by the ears, even if he were able to do it.
These Turks took a pleasure in torturing children, -too; cutting the unborn child from the mothers womb, and tossing babies up in the air and catching them on the points of their bayonets before their mothers’ eyes. Doing it before the mothers’ eyes was what gave zest to the amusement.

Do you see anything common in digging the grave and taking out the corpse and p!$$!ng on it and thinking of a “cold military war strategies” to nuke any part of the world… By the way it is only the military of Pakistan who can think of such a “military war strategy” , artistic isn’t it??

The real problem is the lack of civilian control of military in Pakistan. Military support for terrorism in Pakistan will ultimtely torn it apart with horrible human cost.
ANP will have a different line of thinking and one can differ with them but their argument on this situation is a living reality; if one doesnt bury his head in sand.
Military might use these tactics of supporting Taliban and burning schools to dislodge them from provincial government but its blowback will be horrible for both military and Pakistan. Its pretty the same sitution of 1971 when elected party was denied the right to rule. But more dangerous aspect of ANP situation is that they are not only denied thier right to rule but also their very ideological foundation of brining peace and stability to their region is challanged by imposing Taliban proxies to fight agaisnt Afghanistan. And this will definetely led them to hit back on Pakistan military.
Some reliable sources are of the view that the Peshawar incident of bombing the school was in reaction to the Provincial government Cabinet meeting a day before in which gave signgs of mistrust on military role in swat operation and our intelligence agencies staged it to pressurise bring them to line.

Here it is,

Thats what we did not want, and thats what the ANP avoided from saying for about 10 months.
Although the people of that province expected them to speak the truth much earlier.

So now let’s see what they make of ANP, hope we dont have see a repetition of 71.

will you enlist the deals that the provincial govt of nwfp made with these militants ?

the problem is not with bajaur, swat or waziristan, its with GHQ ……

Pakistan did not have a choice to stay neautral in this war from day 1. After 911 Bush administration made sure Pak Army is on-board. Mushraaf took the right decision. I am sure anyone would have done same. One can argue then it wasn’t our war but now I don’t understand how anyone can say its not our war.
pakistan is a battle ground, our Army is actively involved our civilians are in the line of fire. All social sector related issues that we used to talk about health, education, employment, corruption etc are on the back burner.
No body including US or Pak military denies that we need to negotiate. But you can talk to anyone who wants status quo upside down. We need to engage moderate elemements who are ready to work within framework. Those who want to launch against us and west alike needs to be dealt with force.

There’s no way to justify killing of innocent people in FATA, Malakand or anywhere else, whether in the name of anti-terrorism or Islam. This massacre by Pak Army, US drones and by so called Taliban is equally hateful. Secondly, destroying of schools, colleges and other institutions is another way to deprive Pukhtoons from education.

Some very good points by Hashim Babar about foreign policy, defense policy, provincial autonomy etc. Though this guy was a crook but he presented real sentiments of the people. If someone kills your innocent brothers/sisters would you care about someone’s else beloved ones? NO.

Please STOP killing of our own loved ones.

sashah,

He most definitely is pashtoon as he considers them humans and cares for them. By saying what he said today, he has risked his life and everything for the pashtoon nation. Now he ows respect from Pashtoons.
The people of NWFP thought ANP had let them down by remaining mum on the atrocities of ISI backed islamists, but last nights programme has changed that perception. Now if he is done any harm, the pashtoons will know where to respond.

Fahad Afridi,

He’s done his duty, now its the duty of the common people to gather courage and speak about this drama openly. We need to identify the enemies in between as well, the first one being Qazi and then every other who visits the province with the agenda of ISI like Imran Khan, Hameed Gul, and all the Generals ….

I agree, if karachi can ban entry of imran khan fake “pathan”, we should also ban entry of ISI agents and B team of army in pakhtunkhwa.
