Presence of American Forces is Treachery with the Ummah

Granting permission to American forces representatives to have a presence in 12^th Corps Head Quarter and CIA agents in Quetta is a treachery with the Ummah and a severe blow to Pakistan's sovereignty. Rulers have committed blatant treachery by placing enemies in the most sensitive institution of Pakistan - the Army. The purpose of presence of American forces in the Corps HQ is to micromanage Pakistan Army to use it against the people of Pakistan. CIA has been granted full access to operate in Quetta as a result the city will burn in the same fire of military operations, which were started in Swat that spread to the whole tribal area. Pakistan has already seen the consequence of CIA and Blackwater presence in the form of bomb blasts and suicide attacks on mosques, shrines, market places and on Army conveys. Ruler's denial of this development is an unashamed lie and an attempt to deceive the Ummah. Because of American fear, Pakistan rulers participated in this American war against under the slogan of "Pakistan First", which has pushed Pakistan into the quagmire of civil war. Apparently the purpose of American war is to eradicate terrorism but American presence in Pakistan has been increased many folds under the guise of fighting terrorism in the form of expansion of US embassy, increase in the number of "diplomats", stationing of American troops, granting visas for CIA agents and through the so-called strategic dialogue. There is only one way to protect Pakistan from the destruction of American war that Pakistan immediately withdraws from this war and sever all support to America. If Pakistan had acted according to Islam, that a Muslim never abandons its brother in the time of need, hundreds of thousands of Muslims of Afghanistan and Pakistan would have been saved from becoming the fuel of this war and Pakistan could have been saved from this chaos as well. Hizb ut-Tahrir asks the sincere officers of the Pak Army that are you waiting for the time when Pakistan Army and Pakistan itself would be reduced to an American colony like Iraq and then you will decide act? Hizb ut-Tahrir appeals to them that in order to eliminate this treachery they should provide support and help to Hizb ut-Tahrir for the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate"  so that these treacherous rulers will taste the consequence of their treachery and Pakistani soil will be purified from the American filth.
