Can Obama use his diverse background to build a better world? Barack Obama wants us to execute "Change we believe in". However he is regurgitating the Neocon agenda in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Carpet bombing Afghanistani civilians with Daisy Cutters did not eliminate the opposition to occupation, it fueled the resistance. The Obama rhetoric on Osama Bin Laden and against Pakistan displays a lack of understanding of the region. His Vice President knows Pakistan well and needs to be applauded for his visionary strategy of tripling the aid to Pakistan. Obama is whisper away from sanity. Even though he has the best advice in America, he keeps on spouting Neocon claptrap. Is Bush stealing Obama’s war on Pakistan?

Obama’s Afghan Iraq mirror images policies contradict each other. Barack Obama wants to bring about "change that we believe in". However he is spouting rhetoric against reminiscent of George W. Bush's false accusations against Iraq. A cacophony of Republicans voices say the same thing. Obama's harranague on this subject simply mimics the "W" war mongering. Threats: Obama’s Kabul indoctrination: Venom against Pakistan.

War drums in the Gulf, Hindu Kush & the Khyber Pass. Today Barack Obama is crying at the tone and the decibel level of the rhetoric against him. However he is using the same type of rhetoric against the Pakistani--portraying them as bad, duplicitous and evil--charges that he himself faces. If Barack Obama had any vision, he needs to show it, not only about bipartisanship on Capital Hill. If Barack Obama is the statesmen and wants to talk with all those that disagree with America, then he cannot stop at the Hindu Kush. Barack Obama needs to learn from history and not repeat the Mossadagh episode that turned all Iranians against the Stars and Strips.

McCain,Obama Afghan bluster on Pakistan overtaken by events. The US, Taliban and the Karzai government are talking in Saudi Arabia facilitated by Nawaz Shairf, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan. These antagonists are trying to sovle the problems facing Afghanistan and come up with a government of national unity to replace the Norhtern Alliance dominated non-Pakhtun government in Kabul. Karzai the biggest drug baron in Afghanistan

Its over before the lady sings! Impact of Obama on GWOT. One of the consequences of the the aerial drone bombing in Pakistan and the intrusion into Pakistani territory is the growing Anti-Americanism in Pakistan. Iran is already Anti-American already and has been for several decades. Pakistanis have traditional been Pro-American. The elite and the urban areas are still Pro-American. The villages have been ambiguous or pro-American. Now at least two provinces are solidly Anti-American and even the elite has been pushed into positions that cannot be considered good for America. By humiliating the Pakistan Army, constantly bombing the territory and violating the airspace of Pakistan, huge sections of Pakistani society now share the Iranian point of view. If this drone bombing continues, the fire of Anti-Americanism now solidly encompasses the land between the Euphrates to the Indus. This is not good either for America or for Pakistan. Certainly it is not good for the world.

A Shift Toward the Center (of Fascism)? Obama's bluster has emboldened the current US machinery (which he opposes), to bomb Pakistan and send in the marines, some of them out-of-uniform. Is it McCain Guiliani, Lieberman vs Obama, Lugar & Biden? Barack Obama and John McCain have to stop demonizing the Pakistanis who have been allies of the USA for the past six decades--otherwise they are no better than the Neocons who own the media and regurgitate nonsensical Islamphobia on a routine basis. Bush & Obama both war mongers. Barack wants a different war?

Obama visited Pakistan: Didn’t learn anything! 30,000 FATA residents who fought with the CIA to defeat Russia are now dead. 300,000 of the same Pakhtuns who sacrificed 2 million for the sake of the Stars and Stripes are refugees in their own country. What is compelling them to shoot at the choppers that only a few years ago were considered birds of mercy during the earthquake. Risk of another war: How many more American Crusades?

Obama threats kills Pakistani stock market. Billions lost. Foreign capital leaves in respone to Obama claptrap. All this does not auger well for America and its policy in West Asia. Obama blows hot and cold on Pakistan again!

Pakistan-Iran ties: Shifting sands, tectonic shift or Anti-US axis? Pakistan and Iran are working on the Iran-Pakistan pipeline without India. Iran is also providing Pakistan with 1000 MW of electricity. Iran is also going to help Pakistan build power plants. Small steps that may grow into lasting relationship.

Pakistanis to USA: We want “Friends Not Masters”. Pakistan is moving towards Iran, and if this relationship is consecrated as an alliance, the US access to Central Asia will be blocked for generations.
