On Saturday, NATO forces clashed with Pakistani troops near the Afghanistan border, and 24 Pakistani soldiers were reported killed in the airstrike. Those are the facts that both sides agree on, but as Salon’s Glenn Greenwald notes in this “Democracy Now!” interview that aired Monday, we may never know the real story about that incident. Greenwald does feel able to comment on the larger-scale implications he sees at work in the strike and its aftermath, as he explains in the clip below.  —KA

proof - NATO war on Pakistan

Isaf’s aggression against Pakistan
By General Retd Mirza Aslam Beg | Published: December 4, 2011


On the night between November 25 and 26, the American and Nato aircrafts
attacked two Pakistani border posts in Salalah area of Mohmand Agency and
killed above 20 soldiers, including two officers, which is a blatant violation of
the country’s territorial sovereignty and the terms of cooperation with the
International Security Assistance Forces (Isaf). In fact, it is part of a vast
conspiracy against Pakistan due to the growing frustration of the Isaf, who
having lost the war, have begun to leave from Afghanistan without the
guarantee for a safe exit. The Salalah incident is a clear indication of their
desperation as well as sinister design.

Why didn’t Greenwald present his ‘incident on the US boarder’ analogy when NATO
was arming the insurgents in Benghazi? And, why can’t these analysts and
reporters (i.e. the Democracy Now cadre) acknowledge that it’s been a virtual
NATO war on Pakistan, with the ultimate goal of failing and breaking it into pieces?
- NATO’s mission everywhere it goes - come on you chicken shits, call a spade a
spade and stop soft-peddling the Global War OF Terror, just to protect your book
and lecture contracts.
