摘要

Presidential compulsion of not publically acknowledging that America is now a receding power presents haunting dilemmas; any US president is doomed if he does it and is doomed if he doesn't. A cheap option to keep radiating the impression that America is doing wonderful things is to continue issu-ing yesteryears stale statements on Afghanistan, North Korea, Iran and Mexico, with little bit of rehashing and uplift. Pakistan bashing is another easy way to deflect attention from what Special Inspector General on Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR frequently keeps telling each Administration about American follies and shortfalls in Afghanistan. This approach doesn't cost much and appeals to a common American and satisfies the self-esteem of jumpy Congressmen, an egoistic Pentagon crowd and the hapless State department people. It is music to American ears that American is losing in Afghanistan due to someone else's fault—Pakistan's. Most of the generals that dominate Trump's policy making circle are those who have nothing to write back home about their stint in Afghanistan, scapegoating Pakistan acts as a shield against personal criticism each one of them could otherwise incur.
