Credit: Reuters/Akram Shahid ISLAMABAD | Mon Sep 26, 2011 12:48am EDT ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan's military will not take action against a militant group Washington blames for an attack against its embassy in Kabul, despite mounting American pressure to do so, a Pakistani newspaper reported on Monday. Pakistan's army chief General Ashfaq Kayani met with his top commanders on Sunday in a "special" meeting to discuss the security situation, the military said, as the war of words with the United States escalated. That emergency meeting came against the backdrop of sharp U.S. allegations that the Pakistani army's powerful spy agency supported the Haqqani militant group Washington blames for the recent attack on its embassy and other targets in Kabul. The commanders agreed to resist U.S. demands for a Pakistani army offensive in North Waziristan, where the United States believes the Haqqani network is based, the Express Tribune reported, quoting an unnamed military official. "We have already conveyed to the U.S. that Pakistan cannot go beyond what it has already done," the official told the newspaper on condition of anonymity. The United States has long pressed its ally Pakistan to pursue the Haqqani network, one of the most lethal Taliban-allied Afghan groups fighting Western forces in Afghanistan. Pakistan denies it supports the Haqqanis and says its army is too stretched battling its own Taliban insurgency to go after the network, which has an estimated 10,000-15,000 fighters. Analysts say the Pakistani military could suffer heavy casualties if it were to attempt a crackdown on the group, which has developed extensive alliances with other militant organizations in the region, and has mastered the rugged mountain terrain. Sirajuddin Haqqani, who heads the group, says it no longer needs sanctuaries in Pakistan, and it feels safe operating in Afghanistan. Two weeks ago, militants launched an assault against the U.S. embassy and NATO headquarters in Kabul. U.S. officials blamed those attacks on the Haqqani network. U.S. officials said there was intelligence, including intercepted phone calls, suggesting those attackers were in communication with people connected to Pakistan's principal spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) directorate. In the most blunt remarks by a U.S. official since Pakistan joined the U.S.-led war on militancy in 2001, the outgoing chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, on Thursday testified before the U.S. Senate that the Haqqani militant network is a "veritable arm" of the ISI. He also for the first time held Islamabad responsible for the Kabul attack, saying Pakistan provided support for that assault. The Pakistan government as well as the army rejected the allegations. On Saturday night, Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani rejected U.S. allegations as a sign of American "confusion and policy disarray."

The US is spending roughly $2 Billion per week on that war. For what? To build a high-speed rail system between 2 large American cities, like they have in Germany, costs about $2 Billion. That means for one year of a useless war in Afghanistan, we could build 50 high-speed rail systems in our own America, in just one year. This would give high efficiency to our economy, cause many new jobs, and make us much more competitive in the world. The US military-industrial complex is raping America, and indulging in the gore and blood of killing innocent people in Afghanistan. The troops refer to it as “getting some”, just like they did in Vietnam. The lingo is, “You’d better get some, dude, before this war ends.” That means you’d better make a kill of a human so you can have bragging rights later. The key is to kill a human. The human, a farmer’s son, is always later depicted as a threat. This is why so many returning soldiers have mental problems. They know they killed unnecessarily. Why are we still in Afghanistan?
