FLASH: Taliban Closing In On Islamabad
FLASH: from JSminset.com
This situation has gone critical here and now! The West will act immediately if we have a nuclear capable Taliban.
It is not standing weapons as much as the knowledge and raw materials for production that are the targets. This is a potentially world changing event that seems to not even be properly in focus today.
God help us all!
It is that serious, I assure you, because here is where the next chapter of world history starts. Remember how we had to assemble hundreds of thousands of troops because Saddam had WMDs? Well, here they are. There they are, and what is being done about it?
Soon what can be done about it? Soon is maybe one week.

Taliban closing in on Islamabad: Fazl
By Zulfiqar Ghuman
ISLAMABAD: JUI-F chief Fazlur Rehman warned in a speech in the National Assembly on Wednesday that the Taliban were closing in on Islamabad.
“You talk about Swat and Buner, but according to my information, they have reached Kala Dhaka and Tarbela. And if they continue advancing, there will be only Margalla Hills between them and the federal capital,” he said. He blamed the “civil war-like situation” on former president Pervez Musharraf’s decision to join the US-led war on terror. He said the fallout would also affect India and China.
The Swat peace deal was “based on defeat, not success”, he said. Fazl said there was no writ of the state in the NWFP.
PML-N’s Khawaja Asif urged the government to revisit the deal with Sufi Muhammad saying the Taliban had made public their intention of taking over the whole of Pakistan.
Geopolitical Diary: Taliban Problem Going Critical in Pakistan
April 22, 2009 | 0329 GMT
A spokesman for Pakistan’s military said Tuesday that the peace agreement between the government and Islamist militants in the Swat region has given the Taliban an opportunity to regroup, after having been flushed out by army operations some months back. Elsewhere, the information ministers of both the federal government and North-West Frontier Province warned the Taliban group in Swat, the Tehrik-i-Nifaz-i-Shariat-Muhammadi (TNSM), to uphold its end of the peace deal and disarm, or face government action.
These comments followed statements made during the weekend by TNSM leader Maulana Sufi Muhammad: He denounced Pakistan’s constitution, parliament and Supreme Court as un-Islamic and called for Sharia to be imposed throughout the country. In a related development, the rebellious imam of Islamabad’s Red Mosque, Maulana Abdul Aziz — who led a bloody rising in July 2007 — was released on bail. He told followers to be ready to make sacrifices to ensure that Islam is enforced through the entire country.
As expected, the Swat “Sharia for peace” deal appears to be falling apart — within a week of being ratified. The collapse is yet another manifestation of a weakened Pakistani state being manipulated by Taliban rebels. But a far important point is that the current situation is untenable.
Pakistani government leaders cannot remain on the path of negotiations while the Taliban are going for the jugular. The entire rationale behind the peace agreement was that the insurgency in Swat could be ended if Sharia was enforced in the restive area. The Taliban not only have shown that they are unwilling to disarm, but their ambitions are escalating from a local to a national level.
This leaves the government with two choices: Either continue down the current path — allowing the jihadists to advance their cause while trying to avoid confrontation — or draw the line. In either case, conflict would be inevitable.
The difference is one of time and location. The Pakistanis either can fight the jihadists now, seeking to limit the conflict to the Pashtun regions of the northwest, or wait to fight — while the jihadists move to strengthen their ability to strike in Punjab province, the heart of Pakistan. The state is being pushed toward taking action by both the deteriorating security situation at home and mounting pressure from the United States. But it is not clear whether there is sufficient political will in Islamabad to go on the offensive.
Much of this is because the state is caught between the contradictory needs to combat the “bad” Taliban (those that fight in Pakistan) while still maintaining influence over the “good” ones (those that fight in Afghanistan). This distinction itself is a problem: The jihadist landscape is far more complicated than such neat binary categorizations would seem to allow. The problems Islamabad faces in this regard offer a glimpse of what the Obama administration can expect in its efforts to distinguish between what Washington sees as Taliban it can deal with versus Taliban it cannot deal with.
Overall, Pakistan’s situation is far more dire than the situation the United States will face in Afghanistan as it increases troop commitments and seeks out pragmatic Taliban with whom to negotiate. For Islamabad, the war is hitting home now more than ever.

Allen Stanford's Tearful Controlled Interview
He knows he's going down...no way to talk his way out of this one. Look at the film "Paths of Glory." He's been chosen to take the heat while the bigger fish get away.
The US dollar is fighting a tough battle as it runs up against double resistance at the 20-day moving average (red line) and the 100-day (green dotted line). The next resistance will be just overhead at the 50-day line at 86.18. There are plans that were announced at the G-20 meeting April 1st to replace the dollar as the world's reserve currency. This won't happen overnight but it's clear that it's losing it's reserve status much like the British Pound did during the last century. Special Drawing Rights (SDR's), a currency issued by the International Monetary Fund is the proposed replacement to the dollar. It's a basket of currencies (Dollars, Pounds, Euros, etc.) that is supposed to instill more confidence...but will it work? Will the world eventually demand an "asset" backed currency (gold, oil, etc.) for world trade? Lets see if "fiat" or "promise" backed paper can still do the trick.
