According to reports, a force of between thirty and forty elite Pakistani commandos fled their Sipla Toi military base in South Waziristan, only one day after a http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3017 by Islamist tribal militants seized another Pakistani position in the same region.
The flight came one day after 200 tribal militants swarmed the base at Sararogha. Reports of casualties vary, but the Taleban are claiming they hold a dozen Pakistani hostages captured in the fighting.
Waziristan is close to the Afghan border and is an area vital to Taleban forces and al Qaeda. It is dominated by tribal clans who have never been under the direct control of any government. What makes the fall of Sipla Toi important is that it confirms the analysis of UK diplomat Lord Owen, who predicted the “loss” of Afghanistan and the fall of nuclear armed Pakistan to Islamist fanatics.Such a development would not only destroy US efforts in South and West Asia, already lost, but would endanger the planet by drawing India into a war that would potentially consume the region and involve three nuclear powers: India, China and Pakistan: the latter’s warheads are named for http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2829 of the subcontinent.
Tensions in the region are already superheated. Indian Hindu nationalists have taken out their anger on the http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2833 ethnic group.
What is clear is that neocon engineered meddling in the region by the United States has brought the planet to the brink of a potential worldwide explosion.
