Propaganda Recycled: US Report Blames Pakistan For Future
WMD Attack
We're at war in Pakistan, we've always been at war in

In a blatant effort to bolster the ailing war on terror, a report
produced as part of a mandate by the U.S. Congress has concluded
that a major terror attack will occur somewhere in the world before
2013 and that the blame will firmly fall at the feet of Pakistan.
The Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass
Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism, singled out Pakistan
as a grave concern because of its network of terror groups, history
of instability and nuclear capabilities, reports Reuters.
The panel, chaired by former head of the joint congressional
inquiry into 9/11 Sen. Bob Graham, concluded that a large scale
attack will likely involve the use of nuclear or biological weapons
on a major city.
“Were one to map terrorism and weapons of
mass destruction today, all roads would intersect in Pakistan,”
the
report states, adding that “the focus of US
policy should be to help Pakistan achieve political and economic
stability”.
While acknowledging that Pakistan is an ally of
the US, the report also states, “there is a grave danger
it could also be an unwitting source of a terrorist attack on
the United States — possibly using weapons of mass destruction”.
“The risk that radical Islamists — Al
Qaeda or Taliban — may gain access to nuclear material is
real,” the report urges, adding “Should the Pakistani
government become weaker, and the Pakistani nuclear arsenal grow,
that risk will increase. With each new facility, military or civilian,
comes added security concerns,”
The report advises the US to “build a national
security workforce for the 21st century” by establishing
a countrywide program of education and training.
The panel also urges President-elect Barack Obama
to "take a tough line" with the so called rogue states
of Iran and North Korea.
White House Press Secretary Dana Perino yesterday
said that the Bush administration agreed with the report stating
“I have no reason to disagree with it,” when asked
by reporters.

The report smacks of recycled propaganda in an effort
to shift the primary focus of the war on terror on to Pakistan.
In 2002 and 2003 exactly the same rhetoric was used
in the build up to the Iraq war in order to garner support for
an armed invasion.
In 2005 Dick Cheney tasked the United States Strategic
Command (STRATCOM) with drawing
up a contingency plan to be employed in response
to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States. The
plan involved a massive air strike on Iran which included the
use of nuclear weapons.
The publication reported that, "The response
is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act
of terrorism directed against the United States," meaning
that any such attack would immediately be blamed on Iran and any
evidence to the contrary would be buried.
Now the exact same strategy is being employed in
regard to Pakistan, a country that the US military continues to
unlawfully strike with missiles, often killing innocent civilians.
As we highlighted
last week, the terror attacks in Mumbai were almost immediately
blamed on Pakistan, despite much evidence to suggest the perpetrators
were homegrown Indian extremists.
The attacks have provided a perfect pretext for
Barack Obama to increase U.S. aggression inside the Pakistan as
he promised to do during his election campaign.
With the CPWMDPT report it now becomes the default
position to blame Pakistan for any major attack that may occur
in the near future, thus justifying the continued military occupation
of more of the middle east in the name of the war on terror.
