Washington on collision course with Pakistani military

[khurasaan1]

The situation will become out of hand in the tribal belt after this.This move by Pakistan Army is out of my imagination.They are now inviting all sorts of trouble.

Nope...nope... I guess Pak Army knwz what its is trying to do...and I guess they r not wrong...they knowz what is better for them/country

 

[somebozo]

they failed in Afghanistan now they way to increase CT operations into cities over what evidence?? fake con men negotiating on behalf of talibans?? This gives rise to serious suspicion on Americans having a hand in daily bomb blast around Pakistani cities and strategic offices like GHQ, PCID, PAC, etc etc

The daily terrorism in Pakistan is a spill over from Afghanistan. Fix Afghanistan and that will fix our problem..otherwise WOT is direct engagement against Pakistan.

 

[LeGenD]

Dont worry let them try whatever they have in their mind...every thing is already planned...insha-Allah they will learn a great lesson...to come to a right path...

And what is this plan?

War is spreading inside Pakistan. We are powerless to stop the chaos. More people are going to die in our nation. Our economy is in shambles.

Do we even realize that we are falling in a carefully setup trap?

Nope...nope... I guess Pak Army knwz what its is trying to do...and I guess they r not wrong...they knowz what is better for them/country

Over 2000 soldiers are dead. Over 10,000 civilians are dead.

I really want to know that what Pakistan army is doing, if I have to take your word for it.

Americans are not sincere in their mission. This is the problem. They have some sinister agenda.

Kiyani's frustation is justified.

What about the visas they are getting like chocolates from our beloved Zardari.

There had to be a stronger reason to throw this clown out of its seat.. the time has finally reached!

 

[PakSher]

What India has to do with it?

That is the point why Indians are even talking part in this discussion.

 

[PakSher]

Pakistan needs to watch all foreign personnel closely just like US and Europeons watch all immigrants. Just like someone is watching all of us now. No country can be trusted with the security of Pakistan except Pakistan.

Revamped Pak-US military ties striking blows to terrorists

* Pentagon report says Pakistan has taken many positive steps to dismantle extremist networks and deny terrorist safe havens

WASHINGTON: Citing improvement in US-Pakistan military relations, the Pentagon has reported a “positive trend line toward achieving the overall strategic goals” by the two anti-terror allies.

“Overall, US relations with Pakistan military have improved. There have been many positive steps taken to dismantle extremist networks and deny terrorists safe havens in Pakistan,” the Pentagon informed Congress in a report on “Progress Toward Security and Stability in Afghanistan.” “There is still much work to be done, but there is a positive trend line toward achieving the overall strategic goals,” the document said of US-Pakistani cooperative ties while covering progress made in Afghanistan from April 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010.

The US Defence Department noted that Pakistan military has been involved in nearly continuous operations since June 2009 in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and FATA and maintains about 140,000 personnel in the region. The Pakistani military has successfully disrupted insurgent networks in parts of the FATA and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The report said the “US government recognises the tremendous effort continuous PAKMIL operations represent for the Pakistan government” but claimed the “insurgent safe havens along the border will remain the primary problem to achieving a secure and stable Afghanistan.” “One initiative toward this end is increasing the cooperation between Afghanistan, ISAF, and Pakistan forces along the border to provide a more comprehensive approach to eradicating the insurgency.” Pakistan Army General Headquarters recently approved an ODRP (Office of Defence Representative) and Coalition presence at the Pakistan Army’s 12 Corps HQ in Quetta,” the report apprised Congress. According to the report, the Pakistan military’s main effort during the first half of the reporting period centered on operations in Orakzai, in the FATA.

It reported clearing 60 percent of the geographical area before shifting to stabilisation operations, which continue. Clearing operations continue in Bajaur, Mohmand and South Waziristan but the military’s primary effort shifted during the reporting period to flood relief operations.

“Despite changing priorities (due to floods), Pakistan military cooperation and coordination with Afghan and ISAF forces continues to improve. The Pakistan military Frontier Corps maintained a presence along Afghanistan’s southern border to complement ISAF and ANSF operations in southern Afghanistan.” The tripartite cooperation between the ANSF, ISAF, and the PAKMIL was strengthened with several important cross-border, military-to-military visits designed to share information and strengthen coordination efforts, it said.

With regard to improvement in cooperation between Pakistan and Afghanistan, the Pentagon also counted the signing of the Afghanistan-Pakistan Transit Trade Agreement as an important development. On regional dimension of the engagement, the report emphasised that the “long-term stability and security of Afghanistan is intertwined in the dynamics of the region and the continuing influence, both positive and negative, of Afghanistan’s neighbours.”

The report also noted that “India’s presence in Afghanistan cannot be understood without considering the tense, fragile relationship between Pakistan and India.” An effective partnership with Pakistan is a key component of President Barack Obama’s strategy toward the region, which (as announced in December 2009) seeks to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan, by denying the terrorist organisation a safe haven, reversing Taliban’s momentum and denying it the ability to overthrow the Afghan government and strengthening the capacity of Afghanistan’s security forces and the Afghan government so that they can take lead responsibility for Afghanistan’s future. app.

Terror war puts U.S., 'ally' at odds
25,Nov,2010

The United States is on a potential collision course with a longtime "ally," the Pakistan military, as a result of Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari's decision to allow U.S. defense officials easier access to Pakistan to take direct control of counter-terror operations, a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin confirms.

The move by U.S. officials is part of a broader Afghan war strategy to track down the Taliban members who cross from Afghanistan back into Pakistan following attacks and to hunt militant networks in Pakistani cities

It is in the major Pakistani cities that U.S. officials believe attacks are being planned for Europe and where the insurgency in Afghanistan is directed.

At the same time, U.S. drone attacks into Pakistan have doubled over last year to 100 strikes against militant strongholds in the tribal areas of Pakistan.

The process by which U.S. officials will be allowed more access into Pakistan is by making it easier for them to get visas. The change occurred just before the Lisbon summit last week of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which until now has not had a clear strategy to bring the conflict in Afghanistan to a resolution.

The new policy direction will allow a more focused counter-terror campaign against the Taliban and al-Qaida through more targeted special operations, according to informed defense sources.

"The Americans increasingly want to have direct intervention and control in counter-terrorism operations and want to expand their operations from the tribal regions into the cities," said one security official, something which the Pakistani military opposes. .

Can we have a link to this ?

The title of this thread is misleading. If anything, it should be the other way round.

US forces in Balochistan compromising Pakistan's sovereignty: PML-N

Islamabad, Nov 27 Pakistan's main opposition party Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Saturday submitted an adjournment motion in parliament against the alleged presence of US security forces in the country's southwestern Balochistan province.

The adjournment motion is likely to be taken up for debate in the next session if allowed by the speaker. PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif said that 'the reports of presence of American forces in Balochistan are against the sovereignty of the country'.

Meanwhile, the spokesman of the US Embassy in Islamabad has 'denied presence of US security forces in Quetta and other parts of Balochistan'.

'There have only been routine visits of US teams for coordination between the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and Pakistani military,' he said.

Earlier, the Washington Post had claimed in an article that US had sought permission for drone strikes in Balochistan to target suspected Al Qaeda hideouts. The Pakistani government has vehemently denied that any such request could be granted.
