CIA and ISI together created Taliban: Zardari - Pakistan - World - The Times of India

WASHINGTON: In a new revelation, Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has said that the CIA of the United States and his country's ISI together
created the Taliban.

"I think it was part of your past and our past, and the ISI and CIA created them together," Zardari told the NBC news channel in an interview.

In the interview, which was given to the NBC on May 7, Zardari also accused the US of supporting the military
rule of Pervez Musharraf who was alleged to be taking sides of the Taliban.

He disagreed with the popular belief in the US that the Pakistan military and intelligent services still have sympathies for the Taliban.

"I think General Musharraf may have had a mindset to run head and hand with the hound but certainly not on our watch. We don't have a tough process at all," Zardari said.

Asked about the influential role of the Pakistan army, Zardari said he is in control of everything in the country, including the military.

"The Parliament has final say. It's the Parliament form of government, and I am a product of the Parliament," he said.

Earlier, Zardari in an another interview had said that India was not a "threat" to his country and that Pakistan had moved some of its forces from its Indian border to western frontier to eliminate Taliban in its tribal belt.

CIA left after their work was done.

ISI - मुझे नफरत है भारत और भारतीयों.
ISI grew the Taliban as their own children.

 

[roadrunner]

We already knew all this. Even Clinton said it. So there's nothing big about what Zardari said.

The thing about Musharraf is silly really. Zardari has been worse if anything, judging by the number of missile strikes he's allowed on Pakistani territory. Even being complicit in them.

Earlier, Zardari in an another interview had said that India was not a "threat" to his country and that Pakistan had moved some of its forces from its Indian border to western frontier to eliminate Taliban in its tribal belt.

Zardari was speaking rhetorically. No one got together and thought up the name 'Taliban' for the Afghan resistance.

When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, Pakistan and India was hostile to each other. India was also a Soviet ally. Afghanistan under total Soviet control would have Pakistan surrounded with only the seas at her back. Would any Pakistani forum participant here accept that situation? So then Pakistan had no choice but to have an alliance with the US to make occupation life difficult for the Soviets. The rest of the ME were also appraised of the situation. The oil sheiks like their Ferraris and Western blonde bimbos too much to give them up. They used religious rhetorics to encourage muslims to go to Afghanistan to resist the communist infidels. This three-way alliance achieved their common goal: a politically and militarily unstable Afghanistan. The ME provided the religious motivations, manpower and funds; Pakistan provided the corporate training for the Afghan resistance; and the US provided the weapons.

Finally, lest anyone believe the absurd conspiracy theory that Osama bin Laden was in league with the CIA back then...

Interviews with Osama bin Laden in 1996 by Robert Fisk (idea)@Everything2.com

"Personally neither I nor my brothers saw evidence of American help. When my mujahedin were victorious and the Russsians were driven out, differences started (between the guerilla movements) so I returned to road construction in Taif and Abha. I brrought back the equipment I had used to build tunnels and roads for the mujahedin in Afghanistan. Yes, I helped some of my comrades to come here to Sudan after the war." How many? "I don't want to say. But they are here with me right here, building this road to Port Sudan." I told him that Bosnian Muslim fighters in the Bosnian town of Travnik had mentioned his name to me. "I feel the same about Bosnia," he said. "But the situation there does not provide me with the same opportunities as Afghanistan.

Robert Fisk the reporter is not friendly to the US by any stretch of the imagination. The most the US had of Osama bin Laden was of his family name, which was already famous in Saudi Arabia.

Nice try but no way. We were looooong gone and this was an utterly indigenous movement down Kandahar way. You liked what you saw and ditched Hekmatyar and threw yourselves behind Omar.

Zardari knows. It was B.B.'s play all the way to bring the taliban into the fold.

 

[S-2]

Go and introduce yourself please.

Then return with your proof that the CIA created the taliban. You have none. Like I said, we were loooong gone from Afghanistan and had a presence in Islamabad that was next to nil because of the embargo.

Nope.

We may have held a decisive role in training their predecessors, the mujahideen, but only because of STINGER. As to money, others like the PRC, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE may have given as much or more.

Anyway, urban myth about our involvement when it couldn't have been further from the truth. U.A.E. and KSA maybe. Pakistan for sure. America-no.

CIA landed in afghanistan recruited trained provided weapons on soil of afghanistan as well en route from Pakistan.. gave them manual and tactics of warfare against soviets and ditched them after Soviet-Afghan War but still kept its interest when war was over..Pakistan blunder it should never have supported jihadis in first place on behalf of US or after Afghan War Pakistan should have completely withdrew her interest in looking in this post war era..and should have in first place completely opt for silence as if nothing has happened..but it backfired both on US/Pakistan..simple what happened after post Soviet Afghan war we all know it..yeah CIA is innocent even Italians say thatsame goes for US myth about Pakistan created will remain myth S-2 when you apply maybe ur not sure as well so lets find out who provided funds without proof u can't blame Pakistan, saudis or UAE for funds and vice versa..Hand over the proof.. US for sure others nah..

Once again u guys landed in afghanistan funded trained armed the talibans as named by US for whatever reasons and sent them into Pakistan with a good pay scale..again you didn't knew the psyche of the monsters u created backfired..enjoy over in on afghan side while we are certainly enjoying wiping out ur monsters in Pakistan.

Not without skimming the cream off the milk supplied by uncle sam & meant for the afghans.

Only, now the cholesterol level has gone thru the roof by eating too much cream!
