Steve Coll’s 'Directorate S' is about how ISI was allowed to succeed in blocking the United States’ efforts to impose a stable, democratic order in Afghanistan.
Durrani as NSA was a leap for Pakistan. No surprise that he didn’t even last a year in that job. He chafed after 26/11, seeing it as a deliberate Army/ISI betrayal.
New CPI series will take 2024 as base year, will provide more accurate measure of inflation, spending on digital services. Expected to enhance representation and reliability, says Saurabh Garg.
The agreement, signed after meeting between Rajnath and US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on sidelines of ADMM-Plus in Kuala Lumpur, aims to deepen bilateral ties in the critical sector.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
Critical thinking is not India’s strong point. I have in India for a US company, I have seen the poverty and misery of poor alongside the obnoxious wealth of nouveau riche vulgarians. It is a nation still living in the nihilistic past which has doomed the forward progress of its population. Its cult of Hinduism is full of superstitions and mythologies, with no basis on realities. Praveen Swami would be better off reading a good book on Critical Thinking. When he points a finger at Pakistan three are pointing back at him.Sad!
Coll wrote what most keen observers like myself have known but he missed crucial KTPs (key Turning Points) that indicate US Complicity in Pakistan’s deception.
For example, Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney and all, deliberately allowed Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban to escape to Pakistan through the Tora Bora Caves when it was already widely known (other than in Western Media) that Taliban was the author of 9/11. That this was not known widely in Western Media is more grist to my mill here.
Just ask yourself why. Bush, Cheney, Blair, Rumsfeld, Colin Powell et al, deliberately created the Smoke Screen of Iraq, over ruling Hans Blix, Dominique De Villepin (France;s Veto) and the Veto of Russia and China to wage an illegal war and commit war crimes in Iraq on a fabricated casus belli (WMD). Hans Blix was replaced by Baradei, a Sunni Arab with a sharpened Jambiya for Secular, Socialist Baathists like Sadam Hussein and Bashar Al Assad under whom communities of Jews, Christians, Yazidis, Kurds and others prospered and frolicked,
Effectively, Iraq was a very expensive distraction which erected 5,000 new head stones at arlington, smothered to bankrupt the US veterans’ Admnistration hospital system, burnt Three Trillion Dollars, enriched the Bush-Cheney cronies, took attention away from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan from where 9/11 and the Taliban had emerged and lost the war in Afghanistan for the US.
The work of the US Deep State, an amalgam of the US-NATO-Sunni Axis and the US-NATO Military Industrial complex is behind the Wars the US deliberately loses to empower and strengthen the Sunni Agenda. For example, in an earlier theater, Clinton and Albright bombed Belgrade for 84 days to throw Bosnia and Kosovo into the maws of Islam and Croatia to the Vatican. Milosevic was demozed like Sadam in a now familiar US strategy and then exonerated by the International Criminal Court after he was murdered in their custody.
Nixon, Kissinger and Yamani forged the US-NATO-Sunni Axis with Petro Dollars and which has directed global wars, economies, public opinion, terror and trade in contraband slaves, women, drugs, minerals, weapons and so on from the Oval Office ever since.
Kissinger’s 1970s doctrines are very much the central pillar of US foreign policy and begot the Second Cold War when Clinton shredded the Reagan-Gorbachev deals by taking over the Baltics and went on to bomb Belgrade for 84 days to throw Bosnia and Kosovo into the maws of Islam. Or got Bush to deflect anger over 9/11 from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia to innocent Iraq. These include propping up Pakistan and China to contain India and the defunct Soviet Union respectively and the US-NATO-Sunni Axis forged with Petro Dollars by Nixon, Kissinger and Yamani, and which has directed global wars, economies, public opinion, terror and trade in contraband slaves, women, drugs, minerals, weapons and so on from the Oval Office ever since.
All attempts to change this is offensive to the “Deep State”, as the Opinion and Decision makers of Western “Democracies” are all owned by the Tents of Saud, Qatar, Kuwait, Brunei etc. through bribery, black mail and other means.
Trillions of dollars and most advance weaponry, and still you need to find a scapegoat to blame?
Ask yourself, why you still haven’t figured it out, if its all of our making then surly you are giving 1 a credit of 1 million 🙂
UBL was the child of CIA, no wonder they had nothing to show when they caught him, what a joke? Throwing him in the sea haha, maybe you can fool Americans, but not us, there was no UBL, and think again why you haven’t secured victory, its the fault of your own making
Waste of an article !
Bogus paid-pen popinjays like Praveen Swami deserve the boot.

Praveen Swami holding forth pompously, as usual, on the basis of a read here and a read there, of third-hand stuff; at best, second-hand. Sheesh.
