Paradigm Intel Afghan Paki after pull out.
Paradigm Intel Afghan Paki after pull out.
At some point US will do a pullout of Afpak.
Afgahn's Karzi will embrace the Taliban for
personal security and piratical political reasons.
And the Paki ISI will saddle up to the Taliban
even closer and provide them funds as a method
of controling them and Afghan.
Al Qaeda will ride that wave to try and take over
Afghan again.
US will have doubled its Drone forces and leave
behind a contingent of 20 to 40,000 security troops.
Taliban, Afghan Gov and Paki Gov will support
al Qaeda efforts at least in a passive way at the
least, and provide support at worst for more
attacks on Conus.
Motive is to get back on the US anti-terrorism
funding Teat. Billions of USD.
US will counter with covert special forces and
more drone attacks, Afghan and Paki will counter
with demands and threats to try and get US to end
Drone attacks.
Paki is a nuclear force.
The Drone attacks will be the only effective method
to successfully counter al Qaeda operations.
The paradigm will fall back to pre-US involvement
era with Afgahn and Paki in low intensity operations
agsinst each other and both competing for and playing
the "Great Game " against US for anti-terror funding
while both supporting terrorism to some extent against
each other with the Taliban groups playing both sides.
And al Qaed leveraging the situation to develop the capability
to attack Conus. And playing US against Afpak nationalism.
For the next similar operation there are lessons to be learned,
And time to work out problems with SysAdmin paradigm.
It just wasn't ready for the Afpak operation.
One unacknowledged success in this war was the number
of casualties, this war has been twice the time frame of WWII
5 yrs and in that war there were 40,000,000 killed.
By comparison this war has almost left the civilian population
untouched while running twice as long, 10 yrs.
The US military has been very effective in adopting in the
environs of the war and developed and implemented new
paradigms in record time and embracing new methodologies
as needed, unlike any preceding war.
Upon withdrawal the US is proceeding into even more
complicated waters, and opening the door for new al Quada
opportunities.
Al qaeda is not done and bidding its time to resurrect
secure bases for foreign operations.
The Terrorist war is just moving into a new phase,
in which the US maybe able to operate more effectively
and cheaper.
But the info war is about to become much more difficult.
With higher and more effective propaganda campaigns.
Wikileaks will continue to exacerbate the situation.
The US info war continues to be problematic and will become
more difficult as they withdraw, and Terror cyber operations
jump with the additional secure bases of operation.
US is facing an entirely new war paradigm, its not the end
when they withdraw, just a new phase, that the American
public will embrace.
After the first attack on CONUS there will be voluminous
complaints about Obama withdrawing too soon.
But I see no successful alternatives.
This will provide other Muslim countries opportunities
to engage al qaeda in Afpak on the ground on the basis
of self defense, something they have been using US for
as a proxy.
The FBI will need more funding to amp up for the
withdrawal in preparation for the increased tempo of
al qaeda operations.
