AfPak strategy and Pakistan

The declared objectives of United States have been very clearly enunciated by President Barack Obama: "A great power [USA] does not show strength by dominating or demonising other countries. The days when empires could treat sovereign states as pieces on a chess board are over....Given our interdependence, any world order that tries to elevate one nation or group of people over another will inevitably fail. The pursuit of power is no longer a zero-sum game - progress must be shared." "We seek no bases, nor do we want to control these nations - Afghanistan and Pakistan. Instead, we want to work with international partners, including Russia to help Afghans and Pakistanis advance their own security and prosperity," were the president's words. Whereas, after the declaration of the AfPak strategy, very different trends have emerged and Pakistan now finds itself facing serious challenges to its security, such as:
? The war in Afghanistan has been reversed on Pakistan resulting into a running battle from Swat to Dir, to Waziristan and possibly Balochistan in the very near future.
? The occupation forces surge in Helmand province of Afghanistan is causing spillover effects on the ongoing operations in Pakistan.
? Israel is preparing to attack Iran, while USA and Saudi Arabia, will turn a blind eye. Thus Iran is under pressure, because like Pakistan, it refused to accept American demand for 'regime change'.
? Both USA and Russia, the "victims of the doomed war in Afghanistan" are trying to find some common areas of cooperation, within a comprehensive security paradigm, in the region, particularly South Asia.
? The Pakistani government, despite being a "Compliant State" is under pressure to concede more and allow the Americans to establish a "spy-network within the premises of Islamabad diplomatic enclave."
The occupation forces in Afghanistan are facing tough resistance, which is stronger, more organised and better armed than the resistance the Soviets faced, during the 80's. The resistance now calls itself by the name of 'Shadow Army' organised into several divisions, and each division consists of number of Lashkars. The Shadow Army comprises, the old mujahideen who fought against the Soviets in Afghanistan; the Afghan Taliban, who were born and grew-up under the shadow of war; Veterans from Iraq; new volunteers from several countries of the world and the 005 Brigade of Al-Qaeda. It's a formidable force now, undertaking large size operations, inflicting heavy casualties on the occupation forces, who have suffered over 250 dead in a period of two months. How long the occupation forces will take to exit from Afghanistan, is the difficult choice, Exit they will. How and when, the next few months are crucial.
