NATO Expands Afghan War Into Pakistan
Rick Rozoff
On October 7 the United States and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization military allies will begin the tenth year of their war in Afghanistan, over 3,000 miles from NATO Headquarters in Brussels.
The following month midterm elections will be held in the U.S. and NATO will hold a two-day summit in Portugal. The American administration is eager to achieve, or appear to have achieved, a foreign policy triumph in an effort to retain Democratic Party control of the Congress and NATO something to show for the longest and largest military mission in its 61 years of existence.
President Barack Obama has tripled the amount of American combat troops in Afghanistan to 100,000 and along with forces from other NATO member states and partner nations there are now over 150,000 foreign troops in the nation, the most ever stationed in the war-wracked country. 120,000 of those soldiers are now under the command of NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), the most ever serving in a North Atlantic Alliance-led military operation. NATO Kosovo Force at its peak had 50,000 troops, but they entered the Serbian province after an almost three-month air war had ended.
The 120,000 NATO forces currently in theater - from 50 nations already with more pegged to provide troops - are at the center of the world's longest-lasting and increasingly deadly hot war. NATO's first ground war, its first combat operations in Asia.
Last year was the most lethal for the U.S and NATO in what is now a nine-year conflict and this year has already proven even more costly in terms of combat deaths. And there are three more months to go.
Washington and Brussels could decide to save face and end the fighting through some combination of an internal political settlement and a true international peacekeeping arrangement - rather than the subversion of the International Security Assistance Force that was established by a United Nations mandate in December of 2001 but which is now the Pentagon's and NATO's vehicle for waging war in Afghanistan. And in neighboring Pakistan.
But the military metaphysic prevalent in Washington over the past 65 years will allow for nothing other than what is seen as victory, with a "Who lost Afghanistan?" legacy tarnishing the president who fails to secure it and the party to which he belongs being branded half-hearted and defeatist.
As for NATO, the Strategic Concept to be adopted in November is predicated upon the bloc's expansion into a 21st century global expeditionary force for which Afghanistan is the test case. A NATO that loses Afghanistan, that loses in Afghanistan, will be viewed more critically by the populations of its European member states that have sacrificed their sons and daughters at the altar of NATO's international ambitions. In the words of then-Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer six years ago: "What is NATO doing in Afghanistan? Defending values at the Hindu Kush in the present day international climate. We have to fight terrorism wherever it emerges. If we don't do it at the Hindu Kush, it will end up at our doorstep. In other words, this perception gap [of the North Atlantic military alliance operating in South Asia] in the long run must be closed and must be healed - that is, for NATO's future, of the utmost importance." [1]
Not satisfied with the Vietnam that Afghanistan has become, NATO has now launched its Cambodian incursion. One with implications several orders of magnitude greater than with the prototype, though, into a nation of almost 170 million people, a nation wielding nuclear weapons. Pakistan.
As the U.S. delivered its 20th deadly drone missile attack of the month inside Pakistan on the 27th, five times the amount launched in August and the most in any month since they were started in 2004, NATO conducted a series of attacks with helicopter gunships in Northwest Pakistan. Claiming the "right of self-defense" and in "hot pursuit" of insurgents that had reportedly attacked a NATO camp, Combat Outpost Narizah, in Afghanistan's Khost province near the Pakistani border, this past weekend NATO attack helicopters conducted two forays into the Federally Administered Tribal Areas where U.S. drone strikes have killed a record number of people this month.
Estimates of those killed, dutifully referred to in the Western press as insurgents, militants or terrorists, were 30, then 50, afterward 60, 70 and later "82 or higher." [2]
The amount, like the identify, of the dead will never be definitively known.
Press reports stated the targets were members of the Haqqani network, founded by veteran Afghan Mujahedin leader Jalaluddin Haqqani, who when he led attacks from Pakistani soil against Afghan targets slightly over a generation ago was an American hero, one of Ronald Reagan's "freedom fighters." Two years ago the New York Times wrote: "In the 1980s, Jalaluddin Haqqani was cultivated as a 'unilateral' asset of the CIA and received tens of thousands of dollars in cash for his work in fighting the Soviet Army in Afghanistan, according to an account in 'The Bin Ladens,' a recent book by Steve Coll. At that time, Haqqani helped and protected Osama bin Laden, who was building his own militia to fight the Soviet forces, Coll wrote." [3]
As to the regret that the otherwise praiseworthy Haqqani has of late allied himself with the Taliban, one voiced by among other people the late Charlie Wilson who once celebrated Haqqani as "goodness personified," in an appearance on NBC's Meet the Press last year Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari told his American audience that the Taliban "was part of your past and our past, and the ISI and the CIA created them together. And I can find you 10 books and 10 philosophers and 10 write-ups on that...." [4]
On September 27 two NATO helicopters attacked the Kurram agency in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas, killing six people and wounding eight. A local Pakistani government official described all the victims as civilians. According to Dawn News, "Nato has also shelled the area before." [5] Three attacks in three days and as many as 100 deaths.
On the same day a U.S. drone-launched missile strike killed four people in the North Waziristan agency. "The identities of the four people killed in the attack were not known...." [6]
The above events occurred against the backdrop of the revelation in Bob Woodward's new book Obama's Wars that "a 3,000-strong secret army of Afghan paramilitary forces run by the Central Intelligence Agency had conducted cross-border raids into Pakistan." [7]
After mounting in intensity for two years and consisting in part - helicopter gunship attacks and special forces assassination team raids - of covert operations, the U.S. and NATO war in Northwest Pakistan is now fully underway and can no longer be denied.
The Pentagon - the helicopters used in the attacks on September 25 and 26 were American Apaches and Kiowas - defended the strikes over the weekend as falling within its rules of engagement and Defense Department spokesman Colonel Dave Lapan said the U.S. had adhered to "appropriate protocol" and "Our forces have the right of self-defense." [8]
A spokesmen for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force initially denied that Alliance forces had launched any attacks inside Pakistani territory, although Afghan police officials had confirmed that they did. On September 27, however, the International Security Assistance Force verified that NATO forces had conducted the deadly strikes. As the third attack by NATO helicopters occurred on the same day, "Coalition officials said the cross-border attacks fell within its rules of engagement because the insurgents had attacked them from across the border." [9]
A NATO official informed the press that "ISAF forces must and will retain the authority, within their mandate, to defend themselves in carrying out their mission." [10]
Mehmood Shah, former top security official of the Pakistani government in the region where the helicopter gunship and drone strikes have killed over 200 people so far this month, said of the recent NATO attacks: "This should be considered a watershed event. They [Nato] must be warned: the next time you do this, it can lead to war. Our units should be deployed to fire upon them. This border has sanctity. Nato must realise they have a mandate to operate in Afghanistan, not in Pakistan." [11]
On September 27 Interior Minister Rehman Malik denounced the NATO raids as a violation of Pakistani territorial integrity and national sovereignty and told the nation's Senate that the Afghan ambassador to Islamabad would be summoned to explain the attacks. Malik and the Pakistani government as a whole know that the Hamid Karzai administration in Kabul has no control over what the U.S. and NATO do in its own country, much less in Pakistan. The interior minister's comment were solely for internal consumption, for placating Pakistani popular outrage, but as Pakistan itself has become a NATO partner and U.S. surrogate [12] its officials, like those of Afghanistan, will not be notified of any future attacks.
Nevertheless domestic exigencies compelled Malik to denounce the strikes inside his country and assert "I take the drone attacks in Pakistani territory as an attack on the sovereignty of Pakistan." A senator from the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz "asked the government to inform the parliament about any accord it had reached with the US under which drone attacks were being carried out." [13]
At the same time Pakistani Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit went further and lodged what was described as a strong protest to NATO Headquarters in Brussels over the weekend's air strikes, issuing a statement that said in part: "These incidents are a clear violation and breach of the UN mandate under which ISAF operates," as its mandate "terminates/finishes" at the Afghan border.
"There are no agreed 'hot pursuit' rules. Any impression to the contrary is not factually correct. Such violations are unacceptable." [14]
By the evening of September 27, after the Pakistani complaints were registered, NATO's ISAF attempted to conduct damage control and reverted to the military bloc's original position: That it has not launched attacks inside Pakistan at all. On that very day it had dispatched two more helicopter gunships for the third raid in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas.
NATO will continue to launch lethal attacks inside Pakistan against whichever targets it sees fit and will proffer neither warnings nor apologies. The U.S. will continue to escalate attacks with Hellfire missiles against whomever it chooses, however inaccurate, anecdotal and self-interested the reports upon which they are based prove to be.
The death toll in Pakistan this month is well over 200 and for this year to date over 2,000. The justification for this carnage offered by the U.S. and NATO is that it is intended to extend the policy of Barack Obama to "disrupt, dismantle and defeat" insurgent networks in Afghanistan into Pakistan, supposedly the sooner to end the war.
Forty years ago Obama's predecessor Richard Nixon began his speech announcing the expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia with these words: "Good evening, my fellow Americans. Ten days ago, in my report to the nation on Vietnam, I announced the decision to withdraw an additional 150,000 Americans from Vietnam over the next year. I said then that I was making that decision despite our concern over increased enemy activity in Laos, in Cambodia, and in South Vietnam. And at that time I warned that if I concluded that increased enemy activity in any of these areas endangered the lives of Americans remaining in Vietnam, I would not hesitate to take strong and effective measures to deal with that situation." [15]
He claimed that "enemy sanctuaries" in Cambodia "endanger the lives of Americans who are in Vietnam," and "if this enemy effort succeeds, Cambodia would become a vast enemy staging area and a springboard for attacks on South Vietnam along 600 miles of frontier: a refuge where enemy troops could return from combat without fear of retaliation."
The course he ordered was to "go to the heart of the trouble. And that means cleaning out major North Vietnamese and Vietcong occupied territories, these sanctuaries which serve as bases for attacks on both Cambodia and American and South Vietnamese forces in South Vietnam."
The practical application of the policy was that "attacks are being launched this week to clean out major enemy sanctuaries on the Cambodian-Vietnam border."
In language that has been heard again lately in Washington and Brussels - with nothing but the place names changed - Nixon claimed: "We take this action not for the purpose of expanding the war into Cambodia, but for the purpose of ending the war in Vietnam...."
Washington indeed expanded the Vietnam War into Cambodia, with what disastrous effects the world is fully aware, and soon thereafter departed Southeast Asia in defeat, leaving vast stretches of Vietnam and Cambodia in ruins.
Afghanistan and Pakistan will not fare any better.

NATO 2020: Bloc Discusses New Strategic Concept

NATO discussing its new strategic concept - Appathurai
NATO Council envoys have begun to discuss a new strategic concept for the
military alliance, NATO spokesman James Appathurai said on Tuesday.
The so-called group of wise men, headed by former U.S. Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright, released on May 17 a 46-page report with their
recommendations for NATO's strategic goals for the next decade. The 2010
Strategic Concept will replace the 1999 concept.
The report, titled "NATO 2020: Assured Security: Dynamic Engagement", recommends that NATO engage dynamically with countries and organizations that are outside the Euro-Atlantic region.
There is also a proposal to incorporate NATO forces into the larger UN military structure, allowing NATO to conduct operations all over the world, possibly in partnership with other countries (Russia, China).
The new concept is expected to be approved at the alliance's summit in Lisbon in November.

NATO starts discussing new strategy
BRUSSELS: NATO has started to discuss its new strategy, alliance spokesman James Appathurai told a Tuesday press briefing.
The document will define the alliance's priorities of the next decade. It sums up security threats to NATO member countries and suggests ways of their deterrence. The NATO Lisbon summit of November 19-20 may approve the strategy.
The NATO Council is giving the final touch to the document, which NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen drafted in summer on the basis of a report of the Group of Wise Men led by former U.S. secretary of state Madeleine Albright.
Moscow is particularly interested in the role the alliance attaches to
NATO-Russia relations.
"We would like to hope that the draft of Mr. Anders Fogh Rasmussen and the
final document to be approved in Lisbon will do away with the ambiguities of the Group of Wise Men's report concerning Russia," Russian Permanent
Representative to NATO Dmitry Rogozin told Itar-Tass earlier.
The report stressed the need for partnership with Russia and the necessary
degree of security of NATO East European members.

Five die in Nato shelling on border town
A Pakistani government official in the region said the casualties were "all civilians"
PESHAWAR: Pakistani security officials said Tuesday that five people were killed and two wounded by Nato cross-border fire from Afghanistan in the third such incident in days.
They said members of the US-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in the eastern Afghan province of Khost shelled Matta Sanga town close to the border early Monday.
"Five people were killed and two injured in the shelling by Nato-led forces," a security official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
A Pakistani government official in the region said the casualties were "all civilians". A Pakistani military official, who also spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity, also confirmed the incident.
ISAF spokeswoman Major Sunset Belinsky confirmed "an engagement by ISAF helicopters against insurgent forces" on the Pakistan border Monday.
"According to current reports the helicopters did not enter Pakistan airspace. ISAF forces attempted to contact the Pakistan military prior to the engagement, but were unable to make contact," Belinsky said.
The spokeswoman did not have any information about casualties.
Pakistan on Monday denounced cross-border air strikes by Nato helicopters pursuing militants as a violation of its sovereignty after ISAF said it killed more than 30 rebels on Friday.
ISAF said the helicopters opened fire after a remote Afghan forces outpost in Khost province came under attack, and that two helicopters returned to the border area on Saturday, killing several more insurgents.
There are 152,000 US and Nato troops in Afghanistan fighting a nine-year Taliban insurgency.

"This is the highest post that a Polish officer has ever taken in NATO.
General Bieniek is well prepared for this role," said Bogdan Klich, adding that his presence at the ceremony is necessary to show how important NATO is for Poland and how important it is for the country to have its representative in high NATO structures.
Poland's Defence Minister will stay in the US until 1 October where he will
have talks with the US Secretary of Defence.
"We'll discuss how to be effective in Afghanistan, how to achieve goals set

U.S. Military Completes Exercise Off Polish Coast

US military wraps up exercise off Polish coast
A joint 10-day military exercise conducted off the coast of Poland and Lithuania came to an end on Monday, as the operation's main seaborne platform – the USS Mount Whitney – concluded its involvement.
Comprising special operations forces (SOF) sub-units from Poland, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Ukraine and the United States, "Exercise Jackal Stone 2010" was designed to enhance international military cooperation and increase military preparedness in CEE.
"[The exercise] was a unique opportunity for SOF units from these countries to promote better communication and improve our readiness to build a greater fighting force worldwide," Chief Warrant Officer Daniel Spencer, from Naval Special Warfare Unit Two, said in a United States European Command press release.
During the exercise, special operations forces engaged in airborne insertion maneuvers, as well as visit, board, and search-and-seizure techniques.
The USS Whitney, meanwhile, performed a supporting role in the exercise. "During the 10-day special operation exercise, Mount Whitney's presence was a huge asset," said Mr Spencer. "The ship provided excellent surveillance of targets at sea and helped the SOF planners maintain an excellent perspective of the big picture by strategically placing itself off the coast, ready to perform any task the SOF required."
Exercise Jackal Stone is part of a series of exercises organized by the US military after Russia caused concern in Poland and other CEE countries with a similar show of strength last year. According to Wprost magazine, which quoted leaked documents, the Russian forces' series of war games cast Poland as the aggressor.
The latest exercise was also part of Poland's preparations to become a "framework nation," which will enable it to assume command of multinational special forces within NATO by 2014.

Allied Forces arrive in Latvia for military exercise "Sabre Strike 2011"
More than 50 soldiers from Allied Forces have already arrived in Latvia to participate in Sabre Strike 2011 – the joint multinational military training of land forces and air forces which will be held in Adazi Training Area from October 18 to 31.
In the beginning of October during the preparation phase of exercise Allied Forces military technique will arrive in Ventspils Port by ferry and afterwards will be transported to Adazi by road. More military equipment will arrive in Riga Free Port in the beginning of October. This technique will be transported to Adazi by rail and by road. Information about the route and possible restrictions on roads will be released twenty-four hours prior to transportation at the latest.
The aim of Sabre Strike 2011 is to tune together interoperability procedures and improve the integration of land and air operational ability of three Baltic States and the U.S with prospects of participation in the ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) operation in Afghanistan and other multinational operations in the future.
During Host Nation Support (HNS) operation the focus will be on civil and military assistance rendered by Latvia as Host Nation to Allied Forces during their stay in Latvia. The implementation of Host Nation Support system is one of the main tasks to ensure Latvia's successful integration in NATO.

Anti-Sub Exercises Send Deterrence Message to North Korea
By Donna Miles
WASHINGTON: The U.S. and South Korea navies kicked off anti-submarine warfare exercises yesterday in the waters off the Korean peninsula, sending what officials call an important message of deterrence to North Korea as South Korea commemorates the 60th anniversary of Seoul's liberation.
The five-day exercises are the second in a series and are focused on anti-submarine tactics, techniques and procedures, U.S. Forces Korea officials reported.
The USS John S.

Final exercise "PRT-12 Challenge" is held in Lithuania
-The Kæstutis Battalion provides personnel for the PRT mission for a second time. The majority of personnel in the shift have been deployed to multinational missions in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan previously.
Representatives of Denmark, Georgia, Japan, the USA, Poland, Finland and Ukraine serve together with the Lithuanian military and civilian personnel in the Ghor PRT camp in Chaghcharan.
On September 27–October 1, the active phase of the pre-deployment training "PRT-12 Challenge" of the 12th rotation of the PRT [Provincial Reconstruction Team] is held at the Kazlu Ruda Military Area (Marijampoles Distr.) before duty in Ghor, province of Afghanistan, reported the Ministry of National Defence.
In the final phase of pre-mission training PRT-12 personnel will undergo an assessment of the results they achieved during a half of year. In the exercise troops were assessed for tasks typical to the mission area – movement of units, evacuation of the injured, coordination of work with governmental and non-governmental organisations, and representatives of local administration.
Soldiers will demonstrate their ability to respond to fictitious situations, such as demonstrations of the local population, insurgent attacks with IEDs on provincial roads, firing at the camp, etc. The exercise is organised by the leadership of the Lithuanian Land Force.
Conductor of the exercise and coordinator of the assessing team is Chief of Staff of the Motorised Infantry Brigade –Iron Wolf Lt Col Alvydas Siuparis. The ajority of the organisers, observers and evaluators have already conducted duty in the Lithuanian-led PRT in Afghanistan and have skills and experience necessary to ensure that the training exercise is as close to real circumstances in the Afghanistan operation region as possible.
There are around 200 military personnel involved in the training event, including Ukrainian troops to be deployed to Ghor together with Lithuanian part of the PRT-12.
A camp was installed for the purpose of the exercise in the Kazlu Ruda Military Area; it parallels the camp of the Lithuanian-led PRT in Ghor, province of Afghanistan.
Conditions are created for the training of personnel and units to conduct operations in an environment similar to the area of operation of Lithuanian peacekeepers in Afghanistan.
Training situations are designed with regard to the previous experience of Lithuania in multinational missions. PRT-12 is formed on the basis of the Lithuanian Grand Duke Algirdas Mechanised Infantry Battalion of the Motorised Infantry Brigade –Iron Wolf.
The 12th rotation will be deployed to Afghanistan after a half year of training in November. Troops of the Algirdas Battalion will take part in a multinational mission for a second time. The combat flag of the Battalion flew in the camp of Lithuanian in Chaghcharan in 2006. The Lithuanian-led PRT in Ghor is a joint civilian-military mission, a part of NATO's ISAF, that was launched it in Ghor in the summer of 2005.
The main task of the mission is to help the government of Afghanistan to extend authority in the province, ensure security and create an environment for provincial reconstruction. Ghor, located in the central part of Afghanistan, is one of the safest provinces because of its geographical position and underdeveloped infrastructure. Despite the security situation in Ghor which is described as relatively safe, the insurgent movement is sometimes spotted there as well.
At the moment the 11th rotation of the Lithuanian-led PRT serve in Afghanistan. The rotation is based on the Lithuanian Grand Duke Kestutis Motorised Infantry Battalion located in the Tauragës Distr.
The Kæstutis Battalion provides personnel for the PRT mission for a second time. The majority of personnel in the shift have been deployed to multinational missions in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan previously.
Representatives of Denmark, Georgia, Japan, the USA, Poland, Finland and Ukraine serve together with the Lithuanian military and civilian personnel in the Ghor PRT camp in Chaghcharan.

Now NATO Gunships: U.S. Moves Afghan War Into Pakistan

Now NATO gunships
As so many had been predicting, if the Pakistani state does not delink itself from the misguided US 'war on terror', the US would eventually shift the centre of gravity of the war from Afghanistan to Pakistan and move militarily into Pakistani territory.
This is exactly what is now happening. Already the US has been carrying out drone attacks against Pakistanis, killing thousands of innocent citizens in their wake and perhaps in the process a few militants also.
Meanwhile, US covert operatives and Special Forces have spread themselves all over Pakistan and these revelations and warnings in the Pakistani media have been there for some time.
Now the US has begun the next phase of its agenda targeting Pakistan and that is the aerial gunship attacks from across the Afghan border into Pakistan.
On Friday NATO admitted that two gunship helicopters had entered Pakistan and killed 30 people – euphemistically termed "suspected militants" – just as Dr Aafia has been penalised for being a "suspected terrorist"!
Since the government of Pakistan has to its eternal shame kept silent on this new military targeting of Pakistani citizens, NATO has undoubtedly become emboldened and on Monday two gunship helicopters again came into Pakistani territory and killed a few more citizens – so far the tally is five killed in Kurram Agency.
Accompanying this new upping of the military ante inside Pakistan, the US drone attacks continue – with their frequency rising rapidly especially after Obama's coming to power in the US.
Almost daily there are reports of 10 people or more killed by these unmanned drones – as if Pakistani lives were worth nothing. Perhaps the US is right about this as far as Pakistani rulers are concerned since President Zardari is said to have told the CIA chief that collateral damage from the drones was not an issue that bothered him!

Pakistan: U.S. Drone Attacks Wreak Material, Psychological Damage

Pakistani tribesmen ask for sedatives amid stepped-up U.S. drone strikes
by Syed Moazzam Hashmi, Shahzad Wazir
-The approximately 25:1 horrific ratio of civilians killed for each suspected militant has attracted severe criticism from around the world including the United Nations and prominent human rights watchdogs.
WANA, Pakistan: Sudden ear-ripping explosions, splitter bodies in rubble amid clouds of spreading dust as soon as U.S. drones start hovering like vultures in the sky, it is what generally constitutes nightmares that frequently wake Naseemullah Wazir up in the middle of night with the rapidly increasing pace of U.S. surgical strikes in Pakistan.
Over 130 suspected militants and civilians have so far been killed in 19 unmanned drone attacks till Sunday night with a fresh wave of intensified controversial spy plane strikes from Sept. 3, according to local media and official reports.
"I am not scared but haunted by the uncertainty that anything can happen anytime to my home and my loved ones," commented Naseemullah, a native of Wana, the main administrative town in the South Waziristan tribal area who goes to a college in Dera Ismail Khan in the northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.
"Usage of tranquilizers has been increased," local physician Dr. Faizur Rehman Burki told Xinhua in an interview, as the increasing sudden drone strikes have not only panicked people but also catalyzed uncertainty.
During the past week, over 40 people were killed in seven drone strikes by Sunday overnight, all concentrating on the sub-district Dattakhel area near the Afghan border in rugged North Waziristan, as the U.S.-led NATO forces are tightening the noose around insurgent Sirajuddin Haqqani and Hafiz Gul Bahadur's network area, where the United States believes Al-Qaeda is currently concentrated.
Some 1,753 people have so far been killed in 167 drone strikes since the first unmanned missile killed five people in 2004, according to official reports. However, over 1,100 people were killed, mostly civilians, in more than 130 drone strikes on Pakistani territory since August 2008.
The United States holds it to be the most successful strategy in the war against terror so far that certainly has helped smash certain high value targets, but at a questionably high controversial cost of a greater number of innocent civilian lives.
"People generally complain of insomnia and ask to be prescribed sleeping pills," Dr. Burki added, "the uncertainty about further deteriorating law and order and the fragile future is quiet vivid on their faces."
"Younger people asks more for sedative pills," said Dr. Burki, observing that years of continuing militancy is taking a toll on youths as now they feel more vulnerable and are falling prey to different types of neurosis.
"Peace and tranquility is nonexistent," a local notable businessman Allauddin Wazir told Xinhua, adding the fear of sudden drone strikes have brought business activities to a standstill. "The economic and financial backbone is broken and they can hardly sustain life," the elderly businessman said.
"Whether Osama bin Laden or Mullah Omar might have been killed in a volley of drone attacks or not, one thing is for sure - that all those martyred in such attacks were innocent civilians," Malik Safdar Hayat Dawar, a North Waziristan resident, told Xinhua. He believes the controversial drone strikes are a "direct attack on Pakistan's sovereignty, which should be stopped, now."
The approximately 25:1 horrific ratio of civilians killed for each suspected militant has attracted severe criticism from around the world including the United Nations and prominent human rights watchdogs.
Unheeding of the repeated Pakistani request of transferring drone technology with a logic of understanding its own territory and people best, the U.S. had rather intensified the strikes that compelled most of residents in tribal areas to start migrating out of their native homelands.
A single unmanned remotely controlled spy plane can carry up to four precision guided missiles. Drone sorties are usually conducted in a pair or sometimes even four to six participate in a "licensed to kill" mission. Reports say they fly from two to three U.S. Air Force bases in Afghanistan operating under the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). However, certain unconfirmed reports had earlier suggested that drones had even been used from certain air strips in Pakistan that had been leased to the United States.
The whole tribal population of North Waziristan would opt to leave the area due to increasing "extra-judicial" drone strikes, Dawar said, fearing that "all major cities of Pakistan would be swarmed by internally displaced persons (IDPs) soon," if unbridled drone strikes continued with an ever increasing frequency.
"We are unable to offer prayers in mosques, visit crowded places or tourism spots for even a little picnic," complained Shah Noor, a college student at Razmak city of North Waziristan. "The future of our education is in the doldrums. We can't even sleep peacefully because a drone strike can eliminate our lives anytime, " he told Xinhua.
Local watchers foresee that it would trigger another IDPs crisis in the making as Pakistan is already challenged by a severe human crisis in its history's worst devastating floods that had displaced over 20 million people this summer.

U.S. Missile Defense Agency Completes New Deal With Israel

US, Israel ink deal on short-range missile defense
WASHINGTON: The United States and Israel on Monday agreed to advance work on a weapons system that would help Israel defend against short-range ballistic missiles like those launched by Hezbollah during the Lebanon war of 2006.
The Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency announced the deal late on Monday evening, saying it underscored "the continued commitment of the United States to the defense of Israel."
News of the agreement about the so-called "David's Sling" missile defense project comes amid continued tensions between Israel and Iran, and Russia's decision last week to ban the export of high-precision missile systems and other weapons to Iran.
Army Lieutenant General Patrick O'Reilly, head of the U.S. Missile Defense Agency, signed the agreement with several top-ranking Israeli military officers, including Rear Admiral Ophir Shoham, who heads Israel's defense research agency.
The agreement continues efforts initiated under a U.S.-Israeli short-range missile defense agreement signed in 2008, the agency said.
....
It includes continued development of the Stunner interceptor being developed by Israel's Rafael and Raytheon Co as part of Israel's layered missile defense system.
"David's Sling will also address the threat posed by the types of inexpensive and easily-produced short-range missiles and rockets used during the 2006 Lebanon War," the agency said in a statement.
It will also advance low-altitude intercept technology and provide that technology to benefit U.S. and Israeli industry, it said.

Démarche to be sent on Nato attacks, NA told
ISLAMABAD: Condemning the attacks launched by NATO helicopters inside Pakistan, the Opposition in the National Assembly on Tuesday demanded of the Government to brief the House about the killing of around 30 people.
Speaking, on point of the order, the Opposition Leader in the Lower House of the Parliament, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said that the Government had not taken up the issue as seriously as it should be and urged the Parliamentarians to be united to defend the sovereignty of the country.
"The Foreign Office registered a protest against it. However, the way NATO replied was extremely arrogant. The Foreign Minister or the Interior Minister should brief the House regarding this incident while NATO and US should clear their position", the Opposition Leader said.
President PPP Sherpao, Aftab Sherpao, on a point of order, said the NATO helicopters launched attacks inside Pakistan but the Government remained invisible in this regard. He further said that the law and order situation in Kurram Agency was deteriorating with each passing day and the Government had failed to establish its writ in the area. Hundreds of people of this Agency are now IDPs and they are even not registered, he added.
"Don't take NATO attacks easy. The Government should give a statement that it will not accept any step against the country in future," Sherpao demanded. PML-N, MNA Aftab Sheikh, however, said that his party would submit an adjournment motion in this regard.
Responding to various questions raised by the legislators, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said that the Government and Pakistan Army were fully alive and would not allow any other force to carry out attack inside the country.
He assured the House that the Government would protect sovereignty of the country at all costs and this issue would be taken up at every appropriate forum.
He informed the House that the issue of NATO attacks would also be raised with the Tripartite Commission comprising Pakistan, Afghanistan and NATO.
He told the National Assembly that some Kunhar (Afghanistan) based elements were involved in creating [a bad] law and order situation in Pakistan and the Government had informed the Afghan President regarding this involvement. He also urged the Speaker to convene an in-camera briefing over the issue.

KP Assembly unanimously slams US, Nato airstrikes
By Said Alam Khan
PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, Tuesday, while vehemently condemning the NATO forces' attacks and the US drone strikes on Pakistan's soil asked the Federal Government to take practical steps to halt such happenings in future and lodge a strong protest with the US and allied forces.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly met with Speaker Kiramatullah Khan in chair at the provincial assembly. Both the Treasury and opposition benches called for tabling a joint resolution to slam the NATO and the US unmanned aircraft attack in tribal areas.
They drafted a joint resolution and the speaker relaxed rules under 240 and allowed the lawmakers to move their resolution.
On this occasion, Senior Provincial Ministers Bashir Ahmad Bilour, Rahim Dad Khan, JUI-F's Mufti Kifayatullah, PML-N's Javid Abbasi and Abdul Sattar Khan, PPP-S's Parliamentary leader Sikandar Sherpao and Nighat Aurakzai of PML-Q tabled the resolution on the floor of the house.
The resolution as read out by all the leaders one by one criticised attacks of the NATO forces, terming the US drone attacks direct attacks on Pakistan's sovereignty, and demanded of the Federal Government to take solid steps to stop such attacks in future.
The resolution further added that the federal government must lodge a strong protest with the US and allied forces immediately. Later, the joint resolution was passed unanimously.
