Author’s Note
Washington’s intent goes beyond the narrow objective of “regime
change”. The thrust of US foreign policy consists in weakening the
central government and fracturing the country.
The ongoing US drone attacks under the banner of the “Global War on Terrorism” are part of that process.
This article first published five years ago in December 2007
focuses on the historical process of collapse of Pakistan as a nation
state following the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.
Washington has been planning a scenario of disintegration and
civil war in Pakistan for more than five years. According to a 2005
report by the US National Intelligence Council and the CIA, Pakistan is
slated to become a “failed state” by 2015, “as it would be affected by
civil war, complete Talibanisation and struggle for control of its
nuclear weapons”.
Since the outset of the Soviet Afghan war, US intelligence using
Pakistan’s ISI as a go-between has supported Al Qaeda and its various
affiliated organizations.
“Talibanisation” is the direct result of US-led covert operations.
What is not mentioned in the NIC-CIA report is that the
destabilization process– including covert support of terrorists groups
as well the ongoing drone attacks– is part of a longstanding US led
intelligence operation.
The US course consists in fomenting social, ethnic and factional
divisions and political fragmentation, including the territorial
breakup of Pakistan. This course of action is also dictated by US war
plans in relation to both Afghanistan and Iran.
