A former NATO officer claims US Special Forces have conducted secret raids inside Pakistan's border regions. The operations were conducted between 2003 and 2008, but only one was ever made public.

According to reports, troops were looking for high value targets among both the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. The one that became widely known in September 2008 was condemned as a provocation by the Pakistani government.

Ethnic groups from Pakistan’s Belugistan province where most of the raids occurred blame the government in Islamabad for allowing these things to happen, said RT LIVE investigative journalist Webster Tarpley.

He pointed out that “President Obama’s West point speech of December 2 is a thinly veiled declaration of war against Pakistan in the sense that it announces the intent of the US to promote the dismemberment, the partition of Pakistan along ethnic lines and in order to do that you have to create trouble on the ground.”

“Ambassador Richard Holbrook, who is the US tsar for the region, was asked ‘Do you have troops in Pakistan?’ and he said ‘The US has intelligence personnel in Pakistan but not troops’. And I would ask – “What about the contractors, Mr Ambassador?” asked Tarpley.

Webster Tarpley disclosed information published in The Nation and Vanity Fair magazines about Blackwater Select and Total Intelligence Solutions having massive snatch and grab and even assassination operations run out of Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city, under the command of the US Joint Special Operations Command and CIA.

The Taliban refused to take responsibility for some explosions in public places in Pakistan and blamed the CIA for destabilizing the situation in the country through terror.

“I guess from some points of view the golden age of Blackwater was perhaps not under Bush/ Cheney but it is now under Obama,” Tarpley said, “and they are running wild in ways they trample the sovereignty of Pakistan as a country.”

Pakistan is an artificial entity created by UKstan to control the 'wells of power' in middle east. America simply followed the direction set by British. Baluchistan is the real estate that is next to Iran, sitting on huge reserves of gas and oil and wanted to be independent after british withdrawal . Infact declared independence too. Khan of kalat was negotiating with India to be a part of it but without balochistan , there can not be a pakistan. Jinnah was promised these lands. Pakistan was created as a rent boy to serve the masters - UK/ US as India under congress was considered too independent to help the Anglo-saxons with bases and land post independence. Pakistan was a result of conivance of British, US and muslim landlords who feared congress land reforms and supported muslim league of Jinnah. It is piece of land to serve interest of many groups - landlords, british, US & Army generals. There is no nation in any case. around 20 families contributed 80% of GDP till about 1972.

This war has been allowed to go on for too long. World War II did not last this long. It is time for America to reevaluate past decisions and decide what the goal is. Does America want to FINISH this thing or do they want to keep letting the young military men and women die? If this is WAR then CONGRESS should declare WAR and AMERICA should use EVERY WEAPON in the arsenal to halt it IMMEDIATELY. America is plenty capable of wiping out all of their enemies, if they chose to FIGHT without trying to be "POLITICALLY CORRECT". Weakness and politically correctness, 'WEAK KNEEDED", causes WARS and causes WARS to be lost. Politicians need to borrow a little courage from the FIGHTING MEN AND WOMEN and get this thing over. The ENEMY should be given one week to put down their weapons and surrender. If they do not surrender in a week, every known enemy position should be NUKED
