US Missile Attacks On Pakistan To “Dramatically Increase”: Report

Monday, March 9, 2009
A British newspaper says that officials in contact with the US State Department have been briefed on plans to intensify military attacks on Pakistan, despite strong objections to the policy from the Pakistani government.
A new offensive would see a dramatic increase in Predator drone attacks on Taliban targets, reports the London Telegraph, which says it learned of the plans from State Department contacts and senior diplomats.
The report states:
President Barack Obama on Sunday admitted that the US military was pushing for talks with the Taliban, but officials consulted on the plans said the military conflict would be raised to new levels of intensity before talks could begin. “There will be talks but the Taliban are going to experience a lot of pain first, on both sides of the border,” said one senior Western diplomat.
Pakistani authorities have consistently voiced opposition to cross border missile strikes, which have killed hundreds of innocent civilians.
Obama is seemingly oblivious to this given his statement last week that “it’s very important for us to reach out to the Pakistani government and work with them more effectively.”

Obama has also recently beefed the U.S. military role in Pakistan beyond that pursued by the Bush administration and “expanded the covert war run by the Central Intelligence Agency inside Pakistan,” according to the New York Times, with an increase in missile attacks by drone aircraft.
Pakistani officials also believe that the drones are taking off from Pakistani airfields, a claim that has been backed by chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Diane Feinstein.
Obama recently demanded a total of around $800 billion in war funds and subsidiary costs just to cover the rest of 2009.
He has also promised to to send at least 17,000, and eventually perhaps as many as 30,000, extra troops to Afghanistan – over seven years after the U.S. invaded in 2001.
Meanwhile, despite public pronouncements by Obama that a plan to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq is in progress, the details of the agreement actually establish a permanent presence of a sizable occupying force of 50,000 troops in perpetuity.
All this within just two months of Obama’s inauguration on the back of an election campaign won on the basis of changing the warmongering policies of the Bush administration!
As alluded to in the London Telegraph report, the intensification policy comes via the new special U.S. representative to Pakistan and Afghanistan, Richard Holbrooke. A prominent member of the board of directors of the Council on Foreign Relations and a consummate insider, Holbrooke has been dubbed “Obama’s Neocon”.

We must fight the enemy wherever they go. It is very brave to go into pakistan even though they have nuclear weapons. Superior military technology like the drones give us the power to do so and we must understand our place in the world as a protector of freedom and go after those who wish to harm us whever they are. God Bless America and God Bless the military.

God Bless America and God Bless the only thing U.S.A. makes anymore.
Weapons, bad credit, and soldiers fighting the wrong war.
We love America too and war is last resort. Not pre-emptive strikes by a drone that attack a country we are at peace with.
Why declare war if you can bomb with remote controls.
I appreciate your patriotism Davek. But you know people here are trying to bring peace NOT war.
There are many murders who praise religion. But it does not make what they do right.

Let’s see here, Davek. It’s brave to sit at a remote control console thousands of miles from the AO and play a video game called “Predator” on enemies that aren’t even countries, nor declared nor proven absolutely responsible for the incident(s) that started it all? And collateral damage to a country nearby, Pakistan, is completely acceptable? By that “reasoning”, it’s perfectly all right to sit in my home and shoot randomly at passing traffic on an indirect trajectory with a beer can mortar! Get over it, this is just plain WRONG!

Alex Jones I want to thankyou I heard your program today
and I heard you say YOU dont want people that have had an abortion to die
but rather to repent. I have such a hard time not hating
I have a hard time not wishing for every single person that commits evil
to just drop dead.
I have had people in my past that hurt me for no reason
AND all i want is for them to be dead
thankyou very much alex for showing me how far I still am from the truth
of love ONLY thankyou

anyone that supports the wars on drugs and terror is an enemy traitor of the Republic of the USA and any troops or cops that refuse to arrest the war criminals that perpetuate these wars need to be stripped of there citizenship and dropped in the midst of the Iraq desert and left there. The Iraq folks will care for them. O and we need to shut down all 700+ military bases around the world and protect our borders. But of course that will happen no matter what your or my beliefs are because the USA by design is being bankrupted. So la la la ……. none of it matters except for me to live as a peaceful loving being and I will live and die in peace. GO NASCAR! …or something……

Barack Obama works for the New World Order
He was born in Kenya and NOT Hawaii
So he is not a natural born citizen of America
And therefore an illegal president
He was groomed by his elites from a young age
To be the grand puppet that he is today
To double speak and hypnotize and making it look easy
For all you Obama kool aid drinkers
You are in for a big dissapointment
When he declares martial law
And has your family put into FEMA camps
And violates your rights guaranteed in the Constitution
Obama is the ultimate frontman
He is the Public Relations employee
Who helps push one world government
Without you even knowing it

How can you talk to the moderate Taliban if you bomb them day after day. Those moderate Taliban will become militant. Zbigniew Brzezinski is behind this policy. Webster Tarpley was correct.

Davek, you are a moron. The ONLY reason that these middle eastern countries Hate USA is because we’re fucking in their neighborhood Killing Them For NO REASON WSE!!! It’s not our war! They never attacked WTC’s you oblivious MORON. We did that so we could steal the Heroin and oil! Now if any place else gets some…we’ll probably fuck them over and start killing them.

All these people making a fuss about Obama not being born in the US should check the birth records of some other former presidents. They never seem to do that.

I think it such poetic justice that the Radical Christians were saying that GOD appoints our leaders and we must obey them as per the Bible……….and then GOD appointed the son of a MUSLIM as our leader.

Anybody else see the evangelicals lately ?? they look like someone drained all their blood out.
I guess they figured out BUSH really wasn’t a PROPHET.

if youre gonna post song lyrics then post something badass like lamb of gods as the palaces burn “The fiends have gagged a generation of pacified fools, bound by our greed a nation enslaved as corporate tools, arise and raze the legacy of their lies, to realize in this in its self an ascension, towards the day we REVOLT. As the seeds youve cast away take hold. War will be born, rejoice the day of the fall has begun WE’LL DANCE AS THE PALACES BURN”

OK1, Your “god” says maybe you’ll get to paradise, Mine says, “YOU WILL GET THERE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!” Your “god” says do good works or else, My God gives me good works to do which He has prepared for me in advance. My God says love your wife as Christ loved the church, your says dominate her. My wife submits because I love, yours submits because she doesnt want to be beheaded. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. When my brother or sister dies, we rejoice. When yours die you mourn for there is no hope in allah. You convert by fear. We convert through love. Salvation is a gift of God. Accept the gift, repent, have faith, believe. Christ will set you free of the bondage your “god” brings. HE LOVES YOU! –LFH

You people who do not believe Fundamental Islam is a threat need to read the Nobel Quran, the Haydiths, the SIRA and start to study the present day history of Islam. They hate you because you have not enbraced ISLAM. THe next point is study how much Predsident Bush I, II, Carter, Clinton, and President Obama’s people have accepted from the Oil Shieks, and next throw in the money from the Chi-Coms. Then factor in the Soros and the other New World Order money, and who knows who owns who!

Sorry to hear you are so mistaken. Islam means the voluntary submission to the will of God so if anyone is forced to accept Islam their conversion is NULL and VOID. That is why Christians and Jews have lived in North Africa for centuries under protection of the Islamic Empire.
You need to read the Talmud…LOL

Muslims are the descendants of the first son of Abraham and GOD loves them for this reason.
We bore false witness against them and then tortured, invaded and murdered them.
Gods wrath is a guaranteed to come to US.
The only way to redeem ourselves is tell the world 9/11 was not done by them and stop invading, torturing and killing them because of a LIE.

Afghanistan has always been the graveyard of Empires and another EMPIRE is seeing its demise while its hand is in the Afghan cookie jar.
March 10th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Excellent. Conduct a now highly-publicized war against a sovereign nation that hasn’t issued the slightest provocation. Escalate the phony ‘war on terror’ to the nth degree and continue to create chaos in the Near East by slaughtering innocent civilians & children. God bless the U.S.A.
March 10th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
We are SO going to run out of money to fight this kind of war sooner than later. There really is nothing that we’ll be able to do once the economy starts collapsing. The Taliban have forever to fight us on car part bombs; we have to spend billions on trace programs for cell phones and jet fighters; there just is no way to get around the modern world economy. It takes a lot of cash to win wars.
