Clinton Applauds Pakistan

By ROBERT BURNS
AP National Security Writer
ISLAMABAD (AP) -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton opened a three-day visit to Pakistan on Wednesday, praising the government for pressing a high-risk military offensive against extremist forces in a volatile region near the Afghan border.

"I give the Pakistani government and military high marks for taking them on," she said. "That wasn't what they were doing before."

Speaking to reporters traveling with her from Washington, Clinton said she would seek an update from Pakistani officials on their military campaign in South Waziristan, which began Oct. 17. She said the campaign has important ramifications for the struggle against Islamic extremism.

"Clearly these people are allies in a network of terrorism that includes al-Qaida and therefore we believe that what the Pakistanis are doing in standing up to extremism in Pakistan is in our national security interests," Clinton said.

Last spring Clinton raised eyebrows in some quarters by telling Congress that the Pakistani government was abdicating to the Taliban and other extremist groups by not taking them on militarily.

Clinton said her visit is intended to convey the Obama administration's support for Pakistan - not just its military efforts but also its cooperation with Washington on a range of other issues, including the war in Afghanistan.

Clinton said the relations between Islamabad and Washington developed a lot of "scar tissue" over the years.

"We are turning the page on what has been for the past several years primarily a security, anti-terrorist agenda," she told reporters on the flight from Washington. Anti-terrorism "remains a very high priority, but we also recognize that it's imperative that we broaden our engagement with Pakistan," to include issues like education, energy and employment.

Clinton also hoped to put a better face on the U.S. image among Pakistan's predominantly Muslim population, where anti-Americanism is running high. To that end, she was scheduling an unusually large number of interviews with a range of Pakistani media.

"It is fair to say there have been a lot of misconceptions about what the United States intends for our relationship with Pakistan," she said, adding, "It is unfortunate there are those who question our motives. I want to clear the air."

In addition to the U.S. partnership with Islamabad in fending off insurgent efforts to destabilize the government, Washington sees Pakistan as central to its strategy in neighboring Afghanistan.

.A strange latest story in this world.Khalid Awan ,wrongly convicted in USA,A fabricated,false case.

I am grateful to Mr. Don Harkins the editor of THE IDAHO OBSERVER, (USA) and her associates Ms. Anne Wilder Chamberlain to help me prepare my story.

The following short note comes from them:-

KHALID
When we first began corresponding with Khalid Awan in 2007, we had no idea why he was serving time in U.S federal prison.We soon discovered Awan was one of the first of thousands of Muslims taken prisoner in the post-9/11 U.S "terror War". As the story began unfolding in our letters, we began to realize that this honest, humble and sincere man was not only innocent, but the ongoing injustice being done to him provides critical insight into the mindless, mean-spirited, bureaucratic-yes-men idiocy fueling the illegal U.S. "War on Terror" (and just about everything else that is going wrong in this country). At our insistence, Awan wrote his story and supplied us with whatever documents we requested. And now, after three months of cooperative efforts, the story of Khalid Awan can be told. We have come to know Awan as a peaceful man engaged in peaceful work, who has been wrongfully accused, detained and repeatedly convicted of crimes he did not commit because he was a Muslim with international connections and an office in New York on 9/11. Anyone who might of the Muslim belief, especially a person raised overseas who has difficulty understanding our language and our corrupt judicial system, can be arrested and detained indefinitely in this country, certainly without a trial before a jury of his peers. Khalid is one of these Muslims.

We present this to you in faith that you will realize a deeper understanding of the levels of complicity necessary for the "land of free" to tolerate the phony war on terror year after year and in hope that Awan --- and all the other million or more political prisoners being held by this country---will one day be reunited with their families.

(Thanks from the bottom of my heart to you, Mr. Don Harkin and Ms. Anne W. Chaimberlain for your devoted, caring attention in helping me expose my plight and injustices being suffered by myself and others. Your humanitarian devotion, on-going help and attitude truly an inspiration to me in my life!)

Liberals and Democrats will support the coming mass murder campaign against Iran

A great article on why there will be no dissent on an attack on Iran by neo-lib Obamanoids or their kissing cousins, the neo-cons, who cheered Bush's slaughter of Afghanis and Iraqis on behalf of Zionist Israel.

****

It looks like mass murder before Christmas.

Keep in mind that when the “liberal” Clinton was in office, he had few problems with his “liberal” supporters when he attacked Serbia. Democrats stood behind Clinton’s mass murder campaign. “For many leading Democrats, including some in top positions in the Obama administration, it was a ‘good’ war, in contrast to the Bush administration’s ‘bad’ war on Iraq,” writes Stephen Zunes. “Unless there’s a willingness to critically re-examine the war, the threat of another war in the name of liberal internationalism looms large.”

Between the two Bush gangsters and Bill Clinton, the U.S. has killed well over 2 million Iraqis.

Obama will either sign off on an Israeli attack on Iran or he will direct the U.S. to bomb the country. Millions of liberals will support this because they are brainwashed by the government and the corporate media into the completely fallacious belief that Iran has nukes or will have them soon. Millions more will not directly support the coming mass murder campaign but will not raises their voices in opposition to Obama.

Opposition is irrelevant. Recall Bush arrogantly dismissing the antiwar movement as a “focus group.” Obama will ignore the small number of people who will go into the street on the day after Israel or the U.S. bombs Iran.

Obama is a puppet to the international bankers and the one-worlders and he will do as instructed.

Iran has to be reduced to a smoldering wasteland the same way Iraq was because it is outside the one-world loop. It does not take orders from Wall Street and the international bankers. Iran has its own ideas on how the country should be ruled and this is unacceptable.

It has nothing to do with nukes, the alleged antisemitism of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or even the dictatorship of the clerics. The coming attack on Iran is about breaking the back of the Iranian people and killing off their leaders. It’s about making Iran part of the global slave plantation.A great article on why there will be no dissent on an attack on Iran by neo-lib... more

Dear America: Letter From a Muslim-American

I write to you, America, as a Muslim-American who is frustrated at seeing both sides of my identity spreading myths about each other. In part one of this two part article, I address America from a Muslim perspective. In part two, which will follow in the coming weeks, I shall write to the Muslim community, from an American perspective.

Dear America,

Our world today is assaulted with myriad headlines describing rising extremism and terrorism, and political instability in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Middle East. Despite the plethora of bad news, most recently we have seen a day of hope marked by the end of Ramadan, where Muslims from all nations, social classes, and sects openly united in the spirit of humility, brotherhood, thankfulness, and peace.

As human beings, you and me have a tendency to let the negative marginalize the good and the true. But in this Ramadan the unity and the message of peace and humility that nearly a billion Muslims have exhibited should not go unnoticed, nor should it be underestimated.

America, even though you are part of us (Muslims) and we are a part of you, you often fear and misunderstand the one thing that unites the billion of us around the world is peace, love, and spiritual strength. You fear our religion, Islam. I write the following to not accuse anyone or apologize on behalf of any group. In part one of this article, I speak to you America, as one Muslim who is part of the majority of Muslims standing against the Ahmedinijads, Bin Ladens, and Taliban and Al Qaeda. These men have stolen my voice... our voice. The actions of a violent minority have for too long trumped the selfless and righteous actions of the moderate majority who do good in the name of Islam.

Firstly, Muslims are not a violent people and Islam is not a violent religion. I fear you overlook the fact that the faith of Muslims has been monopolized by the corrupt despots of Muslim countries and Muslim extremists. And it is the extremists whose power is bolstered by a media that has paralyzed the voice of the Muslim majority, who in fact abhor violence and terrorism.

It can be confusing even to me because on one side we only see Muslim extremists on the TV preaching hate in the name of Islam and we barely hear the majority. As I will touch on in part two of this article, Muslims have even marginalized themselves. But America, Muslims are a community of over a billion people, most of whom live in poverty within developing countries governed by oppressive, abusive, authoritarian regimes. These very regimes remain bunkered against an alienated group of extremists who are taking to the gun instead of a potentially rigged ballot. It is our mothers and daughters and sons who are being killed on a daily basis by either violent extremists or botched missile attacks by NATO. We are against violence and terrorism America, be it from Muslim extremists or NATO bombs. We are against violence because it is we who are the primary target of most terrorist attacks today. And while we may disagree with your military actions and policies, we look up to the principles that make up America... I speak of the freedom to be critical of yourself as a society and government; the opportunities awarded by the most comprehensive education system in the world; and your effortless ability to adapt in an ever transforming world.
