Congressman urges Trump to consider resuming airstrikes in Pakistan

A US congressman has said President Donald Trump should consider resuming US airstrikes on terrorist groups that shelter in Pakistan to attack targets in neighbouring Afghanistan, Sputnik International reported on Friday.

Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger told guests at the Woodrow Wilson Centre think-tank on Thursday that that it was natural for a new president to pause and take stock of relations with US partners, but he urged the Trump administration to “get back to some real tough love” when dealing with Pakistan.

“We need to frankly look at the consequences and consider doing it — of opening up strikes again,” he added.

Trump administration to reduce military aid to Pakistan

The Obama administration carried out dozens of drone strikes in tribal zones of northwest Pakistan, but only conducted three airstrikes in the country in 2016.

Kinzinger also urged the Trump administration to begin pressing the Pakistani government to increase anti-terrorism efforts.

“We have to come back to carrots and sticks,” Kinzinger remarked.

“Ultimately we have to make it clear that we are going to cross the border if necessary because they [the Pakistani government] are not doing enough.”

Kinzinger named al Qaeda, the Taliban and Haqqani Network as the primary terrorist groups that operated out of Pakistan.

Let the games begin

Did Putin order Trump yet ? if not than i will wait for that we know Putin Runs Oval Office these days

This time we need to return the favor in Afghanistan. Any misadventure by the US should have a serious response. Any violation by the US should cost them double in weight. The days of striking or bullying Pakistan are gone.

Maybe this cock suckin congressman should worry about his lovers in Afghanistan than poking his semetic nose where it don't belong.

A weak approach results in every dog barking at your door. This government of Nawaz and previously zardari has made sure that every tom dick and hary can take a pot shot at Pakistan.

 

[Path-Finder]

ask the doom where is foreign office? they will say "why do you need a foreign office"!

 

[maximuswarrior]

So why you retired General sits and dines with these Zionist Jews?

It is not the general sitting with the Zionist. It is the Zionist sitting with the general.

 

[maximuswarrior]

This is worse, this means your general has accepted that Zionist to his presence willingly.

Make up your mind. First you were in denial about the report and now you are making a U-turn. Can't have it both ways.

An approach widely different from a politically far weeker govt of mushi.. If mushi could resist strikes and cover up a few why cant a much much stronger legitimate political govt cant do that ??

there was a drone attack two day back so whats the fuss all about

No offense but if they won't they can resume it because we will only know how to "CONDEMN" it

 

[maximuswarrior]

Are you sure about it ? Media and people in Pakistan are still angry why trump did not talk to miya sahab.

You mean the media and people aligned with Nawaz Sharif? Of course they are going to cry foul, but Pakistan is much bigger than that. The rest don't care one bit. In fact, we are extremely happy the way things went in Saudi Arabia. We cannot afford the Americans sucking up to Nawaz. It will have an adverse effect.

I don't rely on the civilian government when it comes to protecting Pakistan. My bet is on the Pak army.

See I will be honest with you here but I don't trust a bit on both govt and army (sorry to say).China is not going to give them what they get from USA.China is working for future of Pakistan people.Govt and Army elite officers are not going to get anything out of it whereas USA give them dollars and green card to their Kins.Blessings of USA is important for them and you or me don't make decisions on Pakistan's behalf.(sorry of I offended anyone)

There is nothing to offend here because everyone already knows these facts. Yes, we have a corrupt and selfish elite. We also have good and honest people among a pile of garbage.

The conflict between the US and Pakistan is an entirely separate matter. I'm quite certain the Pak armed forces won't tolerate US misadventures in Pakistan. At least not without their full approval. There is much at stake after the infamous raid. Those wounds are very fresh and won't heal.

there was a drone attack two day back so whats the fuss all about

Pakistan would only allow drone strikes if it eliminates TTP heads.
