Roggio: Pakistan Situation is Serious

Check out Bill Roggio’s report on a very disturbing situation in Pakistan, where the government is cutting “peace deals” with the Taliban—deals the Musharraf government has no intention of enforcing—and ceding territory to the control of Al Qaeda: Pakistan: A Bajaur ‘peace deal’ is coming.

Pakistan has lost control of its western territories, and is attempting to put the best face on this failure by cutting deals that it cannot and will not enforce, and then claiming success. Musharraf, Aurakazi and a host of Pakistani political and military leaders continue to claim success with the Waziristan Accord, and promote the false hope that further peace deals can bring peace in the west.

This failure comes at the expense of security in Afghanistan, to the West, as al-Qaeda is plotting strikes and training terrorists from the tribal areas, and within Pakistan itself. The Taliban are openly pushing their agenda in the Northwest Frontier Territory, and are conducting a nationwide terror campaign to cower the government. The peace deals in North and south Waziristan, the upcoming deal in Bajaur and others soon to follow, and the inability to take action against the terrorists inside their own borders poses a direct threat to the existence of the Pakistani state.
