[EOB] CIA’s War Against ISI, Pakistan

PSYOPS are one of CIA’s oldest weapons. And ISI is its latest target. The goal? Encouraging defections and rebellion and reducing morale inside armed forces and the Pakistani nation. The message? Do America’s bidding in the region or else.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—Lieutenant General Ahmad Shuja Pasha and the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate that he commands are under an asymmetric attack of a unique kind. The Inter-Services Intelligence Agency (ISI), the eyes and ears of the army, is in the midst of a ‘war of the mind’. The weapon is one of the oldest in the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) stockpile. It is non-lethal but a definite combat multiplier. The weapon is all about ‘sight and sound’ and is dispersed either by the media, newspapers, magazines, diplomats, courts or by face-to-face interactions.

[EOB] Numbers Prove North Waziristan Not Responsible For Afghan War

Using official American figures and evidences, analyst Ejaz Haider skillfully debunks American claims that Pakistan’s tribal region is the epicenter of Afghan insurgency, and US war casualties.

By Ejaz Haider
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—Should the Pakistan Army launch an operation in North Waziristan Agency (NWA)? Short answer: No.
Is the so-called Haqqani network as deadly for US-Nato-Isaf troops as American official and media blitz suggests? No.
Let’s consider these questions in reverse order.
Going by US and western intelligence and military accounts, the network operates in the velayats of Paktia, Paktika, Khost, Logar and Ghazni. Let’s also add Nangarhar to this list.
Since 2001 to wit, according to the official US list of fatalities, the number killed in these areas from the combined US-Nato-Isaf troops are:

AFGHAN PROVINCES	CASUALTY FIGURES

[EOB] No Doubt:The Barking Dogs and Pigs at the Pentagon

Unprofessional and inane are the only words that seem to come to mind when one hears statements such as those lately made by Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen. Let’s not even get started with the CIA-driven drivenmedia that is nothing but a tool for propagating a draconian American agenda.
To quote directly from the CNN website, Admiral Mike Mullen, on Thursday, said that “he believes the Pakistani government “sanctioned” the killing of a prominent Islamabad reporter, Syed Saleem Shahzad, who was murdered in May.” One can be pretty sure that instead of ‘he believes…’ a more honest view would have been that Admiral Mullen‘would like to believe….’ And will Mullen’s belief be followed up with some credible evidence? That’s quite doubtful because the same report about Mullen’s belief also quotes him saying, “I have not seen anything to disabuse the report that the government knew about this.” Well then, what is Mullen barking about when he has no evidence? He has no evidence but he chooses to make all these statements about what he believes in at a lunchtime question and answer session with journalists at the Pentagon.

Kabul:  A senior adviser to Afghan President Hamid Karzai has been murdered at his home near the parliament in Kabul, a senior government official told AFP on Sunday. Jan Mohammad Khan, former governor of southern Uruzgan province and a key ally of the embattled president, was killed in an attack that was still ongoing, according to Afghan news channel Tolo TV.

The killing comes less than a week after the president's half-brother Ahmed Wali Karzai was assassinated by a close friend at his home in the southern province of Kandahar, birthplace of the Taliban. “He (Khan) was very close to Karzai. He was as important as AWK (Ahmed Wali Karzai)”, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
