The CIA in a report claimed Pakistan had placed financial and arms aid at the disposal of the Taliban before the suspicious events that rocked New York and Washington on September 11, 2001.

The report stresses that the Taliban was able to capture Qandahar in Afghanistan with the help of Pakistani secret services.

The issuance of this report after another report in this regard by the George Washington University's national security archive is worth pondering. Their similar content shows that US circles are pressuring Pakistan to tamely toe the US line.

Observers believe that with this, the US pursues two main goals. First, to transfer its so-called fight against terrorism to Pakistan and Afghanistan, and then to portray Pakistan as the cause of all regional problems, including the formation of the Taliban and the attacks of 9/11.

US officials think that their aid to certain Arab states and Pakistan to form the Taliban outfit in the mid 1990s has been forgotten by world public opinion and that they can now accuse Pakistan.
Also since Pakistan's general elections are approaching the US is supporting the two exiled ex-Pakistani premiers Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif in order to divide power in this country between Bhutto and current president General Pervez Musharraf.

Also with the annulment of the peace agreement between the Pakistani government and paramilitaries of Waziristan this region's security will be placed in jeopardy, something that could provide the conditions for the US to further pressure Musharraf.
In all, considering Bush's growing problems in the US and in Iraq and Afghanistan, portraying Pakistan as the cause of regional problems is the main US propaganda axis, but it seems that this issue will not help solve Bush's problems.
