The Man Who Stands Between US and He11

Sifting through captured Al Qaeda Computers and Disks..they have found recon videos of numerous American Highrise Buildings in NYC Financial district as well as other buildings through out the USA. They show detail as to the structure and vunerabilities of the buildings.

Along with other known plots to blow up Airplanes while in flight it is a wonder how we have been so Lucky as to have avoided attack.

It can be credited to One man who at a crucial time to ally himself and his country with the USA. Since the war on Terrorism began nearly all the successes the US and her allies have achieved in thwarting further attacks have come about through intel his country has provided. There have been apx 500 Al Qaeda Operatives captured in his country including the #3 Khalid Mohamed . He has survived 2 assination attempts on his life. Yet his country is slowly slipping into radical Muslim fundlementalism.

The man of course is Perez Musharraf, President of Pakistan. It is obvious that he is the glue that holds the Moderates in Pakistan together, in their alliance with the USA and West. It would also be incorrect to assume that he doesn't have some powerfull supporters in his own country that allow him to hold unto the reins of power. It is known that all his Bodyguards are Americans or Brits.

However it will be the Wests worst nighmare come true if Perez falls. For it is likely that Pakistan will become a Islamic State which has Nuclear weapons.



As an aside...the infamous Shoe Bomber Richard Reid stopped and talked to another Brit Muslim in Afgan. Reid commented when told that his fellow expat was returning to the UK, "Ok return to your McDonalds and Pepsi Cola culture."

One of the ironic things is that most of the Al Qaeda operatives all have lived in the West (Europe) where they became radicalized.

Love the comment about Pepsi and McDonalds. Go in any Islamic country and you will find it riddled with these chains, as well as Coke and KFC. They love to eat the stuff but will not admit it.

Pakistan staying on our side is one of the major stepping stones. If they ever fall to the dark side then our life and job will be much more difficult. I just wish that they would allow our forces to go into all of their regions and search for OBL. Right now they are limiting where we can go and you know that there is only one reason for that.

Musharraf falling is a realistic possibility, and one that will unfortunately expose even further America's impotence in world affairs.

If you think things are bad now (and they are), Musharraf falling will demonstrate just how flat-footed we are.

America's readiness is in tatters, courtesy of the occupation of Iraq.

When the US went into Afghanistan not only did we allow all Taliban fighters of Pakistan origin to leave, our govenment flew them back for free. Of course they only came back across the border to shoot our guys in the back as soon as they could.

And where is OBL?

Pakistan, where else.

Iraq or no Iraq....we would still be flat footed, and in tatters..

The American mindset is Bureaucratic and straight forward. We can think out of the box, but our bureaucratic structures (hierarchial) don't lend themselves to fighting an amorphic enemy. We need to be able to see and define our enemy, when he acts as a Wisp o Will we have no idea of how to deal with it.

The other larger issue is what we are defending...our government tells us that the Jihadists hate our Freedoms, what they hate is our way of doing business our policies. They hate our corporate culture, which is almost inseperable from or is an offshoot of how we think (Our idea of freedom).

Our method of combating the Jihadist is like a giant swinging at thin air, while the Jihadist is able to dodge and weave. every once in awhile we get lucky and make a hit. If it weren't for Pakistan and its cooperation we in most likehood would allready have been hit numerous times.

Pakistan knows how the Jihadist thinks because they are them.
