Attack on Iraq Delayed by fear of Al-Qaida
Pakistanis
Protest Against FBI kidnapping of Islamists Under Musharref's
"permission"
[Aimal Kansi: "discussion" with a Simple-minded

Islam]
-------------
It appears that the
Bush
armada's assault on Iraq, which was supposed
to have taken place before elections in the U.S., has been put off to a
later
date. Analysts say that the U.S. is weighing the growing influence of
Osama bin Laden. Although Bush's
Zionist
handlers are pushing hard for an immediate assault, his other
Jewish
advisers have warned him that an attack without
international, particularly Arab, support would play into the hands of
the armed international Islamic movement led by Osama bin Laden and Ayman
al-Zawahiri.
In late September (?) there was a "festival" organized by the
New Yorker
magazine at which both Henry Kissinger and Medeleine Albright turned up
and were interviewed on
C-Span.
Kissinger favored an attack on Iraq. His view was
that in the final analysis, terrorists do need state support. (In
American
language, "terrorist" means Islamic resistance.) Surprisingly, Albright
disagreed with him and strongly argued that an attack on Iraq would
lead to a
large scale strengthening of the Islamic movement ("terrorists") in the
Middle East. She thought it is best to keep Saddam in a "box."
Albright's view has been supported by a number of critics of the Bush
administration who hate Saddam but see the growing power of the armed
Islamists.
The attacks on the French supertanker, the symbolic attack in Kuwait, the
growing fighting in the Philippines, the Bali blast have shown the Bush
administration that "Al-Qaida" is making a comeback. There is growing
concern
that Osama, Al-Zawahiri and Mullah Omar not only survived but are now
gaining allies such as Hekmatyar.
The U.S. feels some concern that if Musharref does not succeed in
dividing the Islamic alliance which has received an election landslide in
Frontier province of Pakistan, the U.S. operation in
Afghanistan
might be outflanked.
Although at this time Musharref is serving Bush with great alacrity, if
he wavers or is removed, the U.S. operation might face a disaster like
that of the Soviet Union. The Islamic alliance could create problems for
Musharref.
The army might have to remove Musharref or oppose Islam openly. In
either case, the U.S. position will become precarious.
Allies of the U.S. have carried out horrendous massacres of Taliban
prisoners of war. Pakistanis freed from Afghan prisons are recounting
blood curdling reports of the crimes committed by the U.S. and its allies
against the Taliban. The Afghans, especially the vast majority of Pushtuns,
will take
revenge for such cold blooded and large scale killings of helpless
prisoners.
The U.S. is concerned and the U.N. is being used to prepare reports on
"Taliban crimes" against Hazaras to forestall and counter the
disclosures
about massacres of prisoners in Qila Jangi, Mazare Sharif and other
places by
Dostum and other allies of the U.S. reportedly under
CIA
supervision.
---------------------------
To top it all off, the
CHECHENS
struck a spectacular blow at Russia in an
operation in the very heart of Moscow, though their elite unit, including
18 women, could not survive. A couple of days later, the Chechens shot
down another Russian helicopter. Russia is not winning the war in spite of
horrendous crimes of genocidal nature committed by them against the
Chechen
nation. The flag of Islam is flying high in Chechnia in spite of the
destruction of the ENTIRE CITY OF GROZNY and razing of numerous towns
and villages by the Russian armadas.
------------------------------------------------
And as if that was not enough, the
PALESTINIANS
struck THREE BLOWS at the
Zionist Jews in occupied Palestine in less than two weeks. These blows
came just when Sharon was giving the impression that he had destroyed
Palestinian resistance through the DAILY CRIMES his Jews commit against
Palestinians,
Christians and Muslims, bottled up in their homes by the power drunk
Zionist
armored units. Even Bush, who signals Sharon on all his moves against the
helpless trapped populations of Palestine was taken aback. He signalled
Sharon not to react immediately with blind fire power. [This is a clear
indication that Sharon's moves are controlled by Bush.] Sharon obeyed and
sent in his thugs to demolish more homes (selectively!) and to
assassinate Islamic activists.
---------------------------------------------
It appears that the Islamic movement has delayed the American attack on
Iraq. Observers note that Saddam should see this as an opportunity to
link up
more openly with the Islamic movement. In the long run, the only people
who will fight back in spite of American firepower are the sons and
daughters of Islam.
