Dear sir,
If American forces agree to seal off their side of the borderwith a visible presence..Pakistan army wont have problems in Launching any operation in wazirstan..
What has been happening is that ISAF evacuates border posts as soon as PA starts an offensive in the tribal areas...
The militants simply walk across the border and take refuge there...
And keep coming back to attack pakistan army..
There is no point in launching an operation until this issue is resolved between Pakistan and ISAF of Afghanistan.
Dear Safriz,
The question about building a fence comes up from time to time. Richard Hoagland, the Charge d’Affaires at the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, said this recently: “Pakistan is a neighbor and a brother of Afghanistan. There is no way, ever, to separate the two. You cannot build a fence along the entire border and say no one will ever cross it. I have no doubt that Pakistan wants a stable, friendly and eventually prosperous Afghanistan. And I know from what officials have said, whether it is military … or civilian … that is where Pakistan is looking for the future.”
There is no doubt that we face a common threat at the hands of the same terrorists. These terrorists are clearly working against our efforts to restore peace in the region. We must continue to work closely for the sake of achieving our shared objectives. We reiterate what Marc Gross said while addressing a question about a military operation in N. Waziristan: “No, I am here to continue the conversation we have been having with Pakistani leaders over the past several months.”
