U.S. Cancels Aid to Pakistan, Not Military Presence

America has canceled $800 million worth of military aid to Pakistan. It has given the following reasons for doing so: Pakistan’s reduction of American troops on its soil; its reduction in visa issuance to Americans; its air base evacuation; and its failure to successfully attack bomb-manufacturing factories (though Pakistan says that it has attacked two such factories). However, the real reason for the canceling this aid is that Pakistan has refused to obey America’s 10 demands: Finding and killing Osama bin Laden; destroying bomb-manufacturing factories; killing five key extremist militants; allowing American troops to be on Pakistani soil; carrying out joint military operations in Northern Waziristan; issuing Americans unlimited visas; allowing the CIA to carry out all its operations in Pakistan; allowing all American drone attacks; giving the United States access to the Pakistani nuclear program; and allowing it to infiltrate the Pakistani army (so that it can remove the ISI chief).

We knew all this before as well. We knew about America’s plans after 9/11. By making nuclear deals with India and expanding military presence in Afghanistan and Pakistan, all the U.S. government wanted to do was take over our nuclear program. We knew all this. Pervez Musharraf knew about their plan. But we didn’t want to do anything about it. We even knew then that the U.S. wanted to take over our eastern and western borders. It is best for us to let the tribal people protect our western border and focus more on protecting our eastern border. We have to make sure that America does not start doing something there. We can see now that America wants to leave Afghanistan and make India the custodian of the area.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta visited Afghanistan and Baghdad and returned to Washington. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton plans to visit India. She, too, will ignore Pakistan and return straight to Washington. They adopted a plan soon after 9/11: If we do not successfully take over Pakistan, we will become allies with India and put as much pressure on Pakistan as we can. Clinton is visiting India to put this plan into action.

Pakistan has already made plans to reduce its dependence on the United States. It is strengthening its relations with China and Russia. It consulted with Chinese and Russian leaders when they visited Pakistan this past May. America is trying to expand its supply routes in Azerbaijan, but doing so will be extremely difficult and expensive. They will not get what they want from us (see their demands above) because Obama’s new friends Panetta and General David Petraeus are against our country. Panetta is now blaming Pakistan by claiming that al-Zawahiri is hiding in southern Waziristan. He wants us to attack the region and find al-Zawahiri.

The U.S. does not want to reduce its military presence in our country. In fact, it wants to cause more bloodshed in places such as Balochistan and Karachi. President Zardari seems to understand this and is reaching out to other countries such as Iran and Russia for friendship (as seen in his recent trips to these countries). We will no longer implement American policies in Pakistan. We will implement Pakistani policies in Pakistan.
