Rajjpuut generally believes that leakers of secret and top secret documents deserve death or death and dismemberment for betraying our country and putting all of us, especially our military at risk -- however, the wikileak revelation of a huge stockpile of Afghanistan War documents might just prove to be a blessing in disguise. You see, it appears that our military and our state department have been lying to us and apparently to themselves for at least six years now as they’’ve relied upon Pakistan as an ally against the Taliban-led insurgency in Afghanistan and provided that same Pakistan with $6 Billion in military aid just for the purpose of fighting that insurgency. In other words we have been married to an unfaithful spouse whose promiscuity has betrayed us to point of literally making our troops murder victims . . . .
Besides all the other foolish short-sightedness tied up in this notion, is the fact that A) Pakistan has a nuclear-armed military which could fall into the Taliban’s hands, as well as that initial release by wikileak of documents indicates that B) Bin Laden’s whereabouts is probably known by the Pakistani secret police C) that money given by America may be financing the Taliban and Al Queda D) under Bin Laden an Al Queda burser may be attending meetings with Iran on one side of Pakistan and with the North Koreans in Pakistan itself to arrange weapons deals and E) when drone missiles hit Al Queda and Taliban targets in Pakistan, Pakistani secret police have played a role in spreading the uproar over “the deaths of innocent civilians” by the Americans. Now we (the American people) know who our enemies are and we can demand our military face the facts.
Rajjpuut suggests not one dime more be paid to Pakistan until Bin Laden is delivered to us; until the Taliban and Al Queda are rooted out of Pakistan and North Korean and that Pakistan be informed that further aid or comfort or complicity in hiding Taliban and Al Queda be announced as grounds for war against Pakistan. Since as a practical matter it’s very likely that none of these laudable demands/goals will be forthcoming, Rajjpuut suggests a different approach concentrating upon 100% drone protection of the border of Afghanistan from encroachment by Iran, by forces from Pakistan, from all others within two miles into Pakistan, etc. and within six miles inside Afghanistan. That should provide our troops with a seven mile “buffer zone” and ample opportunity for satellite reconnaissance internal to Afghanistan to allow us a huge strategic and tactical advantage over any trespassers . . . and the opportunity village by village to rout out the Taliban and for our nation-building projects to work. AMEN!
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut
