After watching recent news reports, it seems that Taliban forces are a mere sixty miles away from the Pakistani capital, capturing large areas of territory along the way. Establishment political commentators in the MSM assure us that the Taliban won’t be able to take the capital, but it remains a realistic threat nonetheless. Regardless of whether they succeed, it’s remarkable to look at the progress of the Taliban despite being removed from power in Afghanistan. Eight years ago, the Taliban sanctioned Al-Queda’s testing of primitive chemical weapons on animals with no serious weapons program in operation. Today the Taliban is on track to taking over a nuclear-armed nation. With this possibility in mind, we have to ask ourselves a very important question: how did we get to this point?
Even if the Taliban fails to take control of Islamabad, their success up to this point suggests that American foreign policy is seriously flawed. To be fair, President Obama has only been in office a mere three months and so he can only be blamed so much. Obviously this development has its roots in the “Bush Doctrine” which prevailed for the last eight years. Indeed, the failure of the neocon foreign policy isn’t limited to Iraq, but can be seen in other areas of American intervention as well. In fact, the present circumstances in Pakistan should be considered another form of “blowback” in which our efforts to oust the Taliban in Afghanistan only drove them to find fertile–and in this case, better–ground in Pakistan.
That being said, during his presidential campaign Obama made it clear that he favored a new variant of Bush’s neo-Wilsonian foreign policy, talking about unilateral action of U.S. forces into Pakistan in order to defeat Al-Queda and their Taliban allies–even against the will of the Pakistanis themselves. Despite his rhetoric of “change,” Obama apparently has no problem taking the “imperial presidency” to a whole new level. Those who thought that the election of Obama meant a defeat for the War Party were painfully mistaken. The new foreign policy (if you can call it new) differs only slightly in the sense that there is more of an internationalist streak about it, but it’s still as belligerent as ever. Just ask David Frum.
Our intervention into Afghanistan was flawed from the very start. Early on after 9-11, Bush spoke of the Taliban as though they were actually a typical government that you would find in any other nation-state. Military planners were slow to understand that this would be Fourth Generation warfare and thus couldn’t be won with conventional weapons and tactics. The leadership, most of whom spent a majority of their careers preparing to battle the Soviet Union, didn’t know how to fight such a war. Seeing what’s happening in Pakistan right now, it appears that they still don’t. Like the British and Soviets before us, we have followed the same failed path of imperialism and occupation. The Taliban continues to exist and thrive despite our “victory” in Afghanistan.
The pro-Western, puppet regime we helped establish in Afghanistan exists only to the extent that American forces continue to occupy the region. Once our forces leave, the “democracy” in Afghanistan will fold like a cheap suit. The same is true for Iraq and the “planners” in Washington know this. Taliban forces know this as well, which is why they’re buying time by moving into Pakistan. Simply put, our occupation is not sustainable politically, economically, and so forth. While we were preaching “democracy” for Afghanistan and Iraq during the Bush years, we were simultaneously propping up a military dictatorship in Pakistan. The contradictions certainly don’t end there, but it’s worth noting that pro-Taliban sentiments in Pakistan were given a huge boost due to the unpopularity of the Musharraf junta. “Blowback” strikes again.

“After watching recent news reports, it seems that Taliban forces are a mere sixty miles away from the Pakistani capital, capturing large areas of territory along the way.”
Take it easy, this isn’t the Wehrmacht we’re talking about here.
“Today the Taliban is on track to taking over a nuclear-armed nation. With this possibility in mind, we have to ask ourselves a very important question: how did we get to this point?”
Uh, by giving up the very sensible notion of moral confidence in White supremacy, thereby allowing the transfer of technology created by Whites to slip into the hands of non-Whites, and marching to the tune of Jewish ethnic interests and not our own?
Just a thought.
“In fact, the present circumstances in Pakistan should be considered another form of “blowback” in which our efforts to oust the Taliban in Afghanistan only drove them to find fertile–and in this case, better–ground in Pakistan.”
The “war on terror” can be considered axiomatically ridiculous. Because: If the Taliban/al Qaeda had a realistic shot at getting Pakistani nukes and detonating said in a city killing millions of White people we would, if we were serious, conduct a war of annihilation upon their country. Pakistan would be razed to the ground. ALL suspected terrorist collaborators would be liquidated; ALL individuals with the technical capacity to aid them in this endeavor would be liquidated; that is if we just didn’t nuke them.
“The Taliban continues to exist and thrive despite our “victory” in Afghanistan.”
Al-Zawahiri has made statements that amount to declaring a war upon the White race as such. If expelling the lion’s share of non-Whites from our lands, including the Jews, is not sufficient to sate their anger, and they have nukes in their possession, they must be annihilated.
Mop-up after divesting ourselves of the Jews could be a bitch.

Good Lord… CC, you are a curse.
You portray Jews in general as having dual morality and as viewing the rest of us as subhuman, and then you go and take identical stands.
That doesn’t mean he would actually nuke a European or European colony state.
Politicians say a lot of things. It’s obviously a major concern that the Taliban not get nukes, but there are numerous other options.
I’m sure glad you weren’t President during the Cold War.

Europeans evolved in small groups in which higher levels of out-group altruism and the capacity to be shamed for transgressing social norms, the necessity of defending one’s honor and reputation, were adaptive. The desire to project our moral make-up onto racial others who are not neurochemically equipped to function in that manner is, ultimately if taken to its current extremes, suicidal. And goodness will have gone out of the world.
For a stable and humane world order to come into being the White race must again reassert its racial primacy. That will entail the complete reconquest of all our lands, the stripping from Jews of assets and positions of influence that allow them to exert pernicious force upon our race if not outright expulsion from all White lands, the expulsion of most non-White from our lands, and the reacquisition of Africa and South America to our sphere of influence to secure vital natural resources and to prevent environmental destruction of said.
It must be, there is no other way. It is apparently our duty alone, to secure the existence of this good earth from destruction, for none other can or will.
Jefferson and Washington knew themselves to be the better men and would not trust the rabble to rule in their stead, even though they trusted them far enough to vote for them; but then again those were hardy White yeomen doing the voting – not consanguineous Pakis with 85 IQs and the morals of alley cats.

The Pakistan problem is being made worse by the day due to US bombardment of the people with drone aircraft – a coward’s method of warfare if ever there was one, but well suited for a country of video gamers. The solution is obvious – end the bombardment and withdraw US troops from that part of the world. The problem would then have to be solved one way or the other by the local people. The US has the option of simply walking away from most of the world’s problems, but instead insists on getting involved in them and making them worse.

Stopping the drone attacks might be a good start. If the taliban is only 70 miles from Islamabad, then what good have they done?

First: “Where is the link showing that the taliban is at the gate of the capital?”
Second: “I accept the reality that any suicide bomber would like a larger bomb, as one is no more dead if it’s a nuke.” (But more glory).
Third: “Civil War” in Pakistan is a nightmare of huge proportions.
The Souix indians had “Henry Repeaters” at “Little Big Horn”, and obviously someone in Washington had to ask if we should wait untill they had artillary?………And I’m sure that General MacArthur asked the same question regarding the North Koreans later getting Nukes?
But, “Pandora’s Box” is open. And we still seem to focus on the Persians instead of the real enemy? History shows that to have a “True Sustainable Empire” you must wage total war until all that question your authority are dead! The Greeks, Persians, Babiloneans, Monguls, Romans, all understood this where we only wanted “Psuedo Economical Empire” that has now crumbled in less than 75 years. We should exit this escapade with our mongrel nation of mixed thinking diversity, and multiculturalism; Seal our gates and get our house in order while we can! Like “Troy”, our trojan horse of multiculturalism is already inside the gates!
Only China now has the “MAN POWER” to play the game of containment instead of total war.

An American nation in which Whites are an every shrinking minority, due to the downward pressure on our birth rate and rising miscegenation, is not a citadel, it is an execution chamber. Ceding the North American continent, Europe, Russian Siberia, New Zealand, Australia and southern Africa to non-Whites is unacceptable. Tens of millions of them will have to be removed. The Jewish cancer that rots our race will have to be removed. The biodiversity of South America and Africa must be preserved, which is necessary for life on this planet; and yes, even at the cost of the ever expanding numbers of Blacks and Mestizoes – whose numbers are artificially inflated because of Western medicine and agriculture.
We cannot ask ourselves if doing these things will be too hard, too terrible, for those who have come to understand know they must be done.
Captainchaos on 25 Apr 2009 at 3:02 pm #
Btw, the protection of biodiversity in Africa and South America could be achieved with a few dozen armor divisions and sufficient air support. The peoples of these continents are entitled to the level of population they can sustain by their own efforts, they are not entitled to the gargantuan inflation of said the product of our suicidal altruism that wrecks the planet.
There will be no setting aside of the White man’s burden, the burden must however reassessed in light scientific evidence and reason; to carry that burden (and we must) we must preserve our race.
Captainchaos on 25 Apr 2009 at 6:31 pm #
Further, as Steve Sailor has observed, the total fertility rate in Mexico is collapsing. It is artificially inflated in America. Mestizos can be transferred back to Mexico to supplement their flagging population.
This can all be done without imposing extravagant hardships on those who are to be repatriated, we only lack the vision and the will.
We can have a humane world order based in ethno-nationalism with the White racing leading the way and setting the tone.
Kirt Higdon on 25 Apr 2009 at 7:09 pm #
Well, at least we have the vision – a few dozen armored divisions with sufficient air support and manned exclusively by burdened white men blitzing their way across the Amazon and the Andes, the Sahara, the Congo, and the Kalahari, protecting bio-diversity as they go. Yes, I can see it now and I bet every last white man is just as inspired as I am.

Preserving genetic diversity is the fight against entropy, literally the fight against death. Globalization aides in the destruction of genetic diversity by allowing the transportation of previously isolated specimen from one milieu to another. We must substantially put a stop to that. And protect existing biodiversity from destruction by a human population that has grown beyond all reason.
We must achieve a bold new synthesis for the preservation of life on this earth that harnesses the tremendous altruism and idealism of our race; only White Nationalism can provide that.
Our people are crying out for meaning, for bold action, for struggle towards a higher destiny. We CAN build a better world.
Our race MUST define the future, and not the narrow, psychotic grasping of the Jew.

Just a few questions.
What weapons are the Taliban and the Pakistans using?
Who did they obtain them from?
What country is the largest arms supplier in that area?
What country has the most military bases and spends the most money on its military in the world?
After the fighting between the Taliban and Pakistans, what country is going to go into that area and mop up whats left?
Can anyone connect the dots?
