research exposes the Indian trojan horses who continue to scheme to stab Pakistan in the back. Having fully realized that Pakistan will never be broken up and will never be held under Indian rule, these anti-Pakistan elements have moved to a new phase which is to isolate Pakistan from its historical allies to punish it through starving its security forces and lack of resources such as North Korea and Cuba. In the most sinister fashion this plan is being carried out by fifth columnists inside the country who beating the drum of hyper-nationalism have hypnotised the awam and are threatening to choke the nation by alienating our historical allies.
During highly classified briefings at the US Congress it was revealed that the 2/5 raid to kill Osama bin Laden was orchestrated not only by US but with the help of Saudi Arabia and Turkey also.
Saudi Arabia and Turkey separately played significant roles in persuading Pakistan to give up Osama bin Laden and facilitate his elimination by the US, according to pieces that are slowly fitting the puzzle of Sunday’s anti-terror operation in Abbottabad.
Increased defence cooperation between US and Saudia Arabia was also revealed as both countries are working to create a new elite security force.
The newly established specialized force is separate from the regular Saudi military and is also distinct from Saudi Arabian National Guard, an internal security force whose mission is to protect the royal family and the Muslim holy places of Mecca and Medina. The U.S. has had a training and advising role with the regular Saudi military since 1953 and began advising the National Guard in 1973.
The new arrangement is based on a May 2008 deal signed by then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef. That same month the U.S. and Saudi Arabia also signed an understanding on civil nuclear energy cooperation in which Washington agreed to help the Saudis develop nuclear energy for use in medicine, industry and power generation.
In October 2008, Ford Fraker, then the U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, called the facilities security force program “probably the single biggest initiative for the U.S.-Saudi relationship” and said the value of contracts associated with the program could reach tens of billions of dollars.
This close cooperation gives Saudi Arabia access to advanced weapons technology to defend their national security.
When Defense Secretary Robert Gates visited Riyadh in April, he reaffirmed U.S. intentions to proceed with the deal announced last fall to sell up to $60 billion in weaponry, including 84 F-15s and the upgrading of 70 existing Saudi F-15s.
U.S. officials said the arms deal might be expanded to include naval ships and possibly more advanced air and missile defense systems. The Saudis want to upgrade their Patriot air defenses to the latest U.S. version, which can knock down short-range ballistic missiles in flight. And they have expressed interest in a more capable system designed to defend against higher-flying, medium-range missiles.
At the same time that US is growing closer with Saudia Arabia and Turkey, also they are growing closer with China. This week the chief of China’s powerful military declared that US and China are “inseparable” and work together to maintain peace and stability in Asia.
China “never intends to challenge the US,” Chen told the officers, speaking through an interpreter.
China “welcomes a constructive US role in maintaining and promoting peace stability and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region,” he said.
The Arab revolutions have awoken the world and Middle Eastern countries are moving away from terrorism that threatens each country’s own security as well as peace between nations and yet still some elements in Pakistan continue to beat the drum of anti-Americanism and sympathy for militant groups. Now what is the result? Saudi Arabia is calling back their diplomats from Pakistan.
This scheme threatens to isolate Pakistan in the worst way by creating distrust and doubt with our historical allies Saudi Arabia, US, and Turkey. As is clear from the news articles quoted as well as Barack Obama’s speech on Wednesday, the US is looking to build militaries in the Middle East that are fighting the terrorist menace. No country has done more in this fight than Pakistan, and yet the perception of our military forces is being sullied every day by those who appear in foreign media making outrageous claims and projecting a pro-jihadi mindset.
Thus while the US is giving the most advanced air and missile defence systems to Saudi Arabia, the exact air and anti-missile defence systems necessary to protecting Pakistan from an attack from the East, the US Congress is questioning to consider military aid to Pakistan because the image of Pakistan projected by these elements is one of jihadi sympathies. While they talk of sovereignty they are undermining the sovereignty by weakening our security alliances against such attacks. While they talk of national honour they are are undermining the national honour by making outrageous claims and projecting a pro-jihadi mindset. Meanwhile it is the soldiers and officers on the front lines who are being targeted and killed by the jihadis who are defended by some Mir Jafars and India is laughing while their agenda is served perfectly.
