Bin Laden “Declares War” on Pakistan

In a new recording, Osama Bin Laden, according to Agence France Press (AFP), urges Pakistani Muslims to wage “holy war” against the government of President Pervez Musharraf in retaliation for the government’s put down of Muslim extremists who recently held up in the “Red Mosque.”
It will be interesting to watch this action; it may be that Bin Laden has bitten off much more that he can chew. This may have been a huge strategic error on his part. Unlike conditions in Iraq, that is, the absence of anything closely resembling a functional government and security forces. Pakistan does have a reasonably functioning government, notwithstanding, Musharraf’s declining popularity, and an extremely functional military that, as demonstrated by the incident at the Red Mosque, will take extremely harsh methods to combat any such increases in anti-government activity from whatever-the-source. Even though it is highly likely that President Musharraf will be assinated, the ensuing conflict will be long and bloody and in the end, the forces of the government will emerge victorious as a result of weariness and attrition.Keep an eye on this.
