- THINGS IN WAZIRISTAN ARE HEATING UP, AS MUSHARRAF ATTACKS AL QAEDA THERE MORE AND MORE. ANOTHER LINK FROM 10/17 HERE - IN FRENCH. AND ANOTHER FROM ASIA TODAY VIA DINAH.
- AND NOW - UPON BHUTTO'S RETURN - THE JIHADOTERRORISTS ARE STAGING NEAR-MEGA-ATTACKS IN THE HEART OF "CIVILIZED" PAKISTAN. AT LEAST 108 ARE NOW CONFIRMED DEAD IN TODAY'S ATTACK.
- ALL THIS IS OCCURRING AS IT BECOMES MORE AND MORE OBVIOUS THAT AL QAEDA HAS BEEN DEFEATED IN IRAQ
- AND FOR AT LEAST A MONTH NOW, FAR FEWER JIHADIS HAVE BEEN ENTERING IRAQ. SO, WHERE ARE THEY GOING?
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT AL QAEDA HAS PERHAPS MADE A STRATEGIC DECISION TO LEAVE IRAQ AND MAKE THEIR NEXT STAND IN PAKISTAN - AND IN THE WESTERN LAWLESS/TRIBAL AREAS AND EASTERN AFGHANISTAN. THEY HAVE PROBABLY DECIDED THIS FOR A FEW REASONS:
- FIRST, IT'S WHERE THEIR LEADERSHIP IS;
- SECOND, THEY WANT PAKISTAN'S NUKES AND THEY WANT THEM NOW.
- AND THIRD, THEY SEE MUSHARRAF AND PAKISTAN'S UNSTABLE DEMOCRACY/JUNTA AS THE WEAKEST LINK AND RICHEST TARGET IN THE MUSLIM WORLD. NO OIL, BUT NUKES.
