Will Barack Hussein Bring Change to FATA?

By Brig. (r) Junaid Zaman • Jan 25th, 2009 • Category: Pakistan Vote'08, Politics • 2 Comments

As America is poised to change itself under the new and dynamic leadership of Barack H. Obama, the only superpower should also understand that they cannot change themselves in the vacuum. Already people are questioning the rationale behind the closing down of Gitmo bay and barring CIA from having interrogation cells abroad.

Though these measures are very welcome but the root causes and the reasons why these existed in the first place and why people abhorred them are there intact. The increasing resentment against the US has come to a halt as the angry elements throughout the world are waiting to see whether the new administration would herald a change in US policy to deal with the growing militancy against the US troops and interests around the world or not.

Obama must realize that it helps very little to his cause of ‘Change’ when drones keep attacking in the vast unpoliced region of western Pakistan known as the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). It’s not to say that US shouldn’t be worried about this area as it’s troops are present in the neighboring Afghanistan. US should leave the affairs of countries to themselves. Afghanistan should be left with dealing with its own problems and so is the Pakistan.

If US wants to ensure that FATA area and the Afghanistan doesn’t become the breeding ground for the terrorism, then it must ensure that this area gets modernized, educated, and enlightened. US needs to start massive dialogue and empowerment of the huge Pushtoon population of the area. First step in that direction is to pry apart the militants from the Pushtoon population and provide jobs, business, modern gadgets, health and other empowering things to the local Pushtoon population while ensuring their security and safety.

This would not only make the militants pariah but it would als disintegrate them as it is sure that huge number of these militants would desert the militancy as the basic reason why they joined the militant ranks because they didn’t have means to live and survive and besides they felt vindicated after their innocent relatives became collateral damage in the Drone attacks.

Choice clearly lies with the Obama-Biden-Clinton-Holbrooke.

  1. Hi Brigadier Saheb,
    You are saying we have been doing your bidding from the days we joined CENTO/SEATO in return for your largese and kept our CIVILIANS out of power. We killed 10,000 PALESTENIANS IN support of King of Jordan and drove them out.We have been killing infidel Hindus in India and keeping them under tight leash so that they donot escape south asian orbit.We also helped in getting you closer to China who is now the most important power in world. We helped you in killing commie Afghans and also helped you in break up of Soviet Union.
    Ofcourse some misguided fellows amongst us killed 3000 of your nationals in USA on 9/11.May be we sold some nukes to Libya,NorthKorea and Iran.You have punished us enough. though we lost our rule in Afghanistan, you got Iraqi oil.
    NOW WHY NOT GET BACK TO OLD BUSINESS IF YOU LEAVE US ALONE and we continue killing INFIDEL HINDUS AND WE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO USA MAINLAND.
    May be UK may fall for the bait as its MPs and House of Lords is beholden to Drug smuggling Mirpuries in Glascow
    Dhothiwallah Indians are not sleeping anymore. may be some of their politicians are working for USA just like some in Pakistan.
    But Indian people are wide awake.

    The Pakistani people have the power to bring Obama to his knee’s. Now will the people of Pakistan demand from its leaders, and will its leaders act in the best interest of Pakistanis’ and put an end to the murder of its citizens by an illegal dictator from the United States?

    I urge the people of Pakistan to demand its leaders hold Barack Obama accountable for the murders of Pakistani citizens this past weekend.

    Pakistan should immediately release the visa of Barack Obama’s 1981 visit to Pakistan and demand his arrest and extradition.

    CALLING ON Bilawal Bhutto Zardari (Urdu: بلاول بھٹو زرداری, Sindhi: بلاول ڀٽو زرداری) Son of Ex Pakistani PM Benazir Bhutto Demand Obama’s arrest
    As reported earlier today Pakistan can and in my opinion should issue an arrest warrant and file an extradition request for the arrest and extradition of Barack Obama forthwith.

    In addition to being able to prosecute Barack Obama for the murder of innocent people in Obama ordered air strikes in Pakistan, Pakistani officials can end Obama’s presidency where the US Supreme Court, The US Senate, Congress, Justice Department, DNC and others have refused to do. See Pakistan can demonstrate that Barack Obama entered their country in 1981 (as an adult) and can demonstrate under what name and citizenship Barack Obama/Barry Soetoro used in entering the country of Pakistan and what passport was used!

    To all Pakistani and Afghan citizens who want the deaths of innocent civilians avenged, I urge you to demand that the leaders of Pakistan and Afghanistan demand the arrest and extradition of Barack Obama. Pakistan can and must reveal the fraud that Barack Obama has committed against the people of not just the United States of America, but of the entire world.

    Could it be that Barack Obama realized Pakistan can destroy him and his career and for that he talked tough about taking care of Pakistan if Pakistan did not?

    Americans, Afghans and Pakistanis should urge Bilawal Bhutto Zardari (Urdu: بلاول بھٹو زرداری, Sindhi: بلاول ڀٽو زرداری) (the son of Ex Pakistani PM Benazir Bhutto, and current Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari,)to press for his father and the leaders of Pakistan to reveal the truth about Barack Obama and charge him with murder.
