Imran Khan: US responsible for terrorism in Pakistan

[sparklingway]

Agreed, this hate alone will not lead to suicide bombings but then add a mix of poverty, a little extremism and a smart manipulator and there you have a terrorist.

That's an easy potion to mix. Little extremism does not lead to suicide bombers. Extreme extremism would be the appropriate word here.

Ok if you say so but we have such institutions in abundance too that create extreme extremism, Don't we?

My point is that PA and GOP should not provide such reasons to these people in first place and you and i both know that these drone attacks are the prime reason (with many others) that is creating hate amongst the people towards their government and armed forces.

It is not the prime reason. The prime reason is the world view held by militants whereby the view all military operations as being conducted on the "behest of the US". They view the state's involvement in the WoT, including the Operations in Wana, Tirah, Orakzai, Mohmand, Bajaur, South Warizistan and Swat as only for "pleasing the US". The drone attacks are an additional factor but in no way the prime factor. The world view of West-is-out-there-to-destroy-Islam and these-are-West-stooges are the main reasons. The toxic religious dogmas of declaring everybody not cooperating with you as Kafir and liable to death is a major factor.

I'm too sick of this drone attack = suicide bombing BS. I can't take more of this as this has no grounds. Yes, they can be used as a motivating factor, but there is no, absolutely no evidence whatsoever that any suicide bomber has been linked or a potential bomber that has been apprehended had any acquaintance that died in a drone attack. Bring forward any news report, intelligence report or a case report that states that the person caught or who carried out the bombing had any relative that died in a drone attack and he was avenging his family members. All the time people start making this assumption without any evidence.

When Imran was helping his Jewish ex brother in law in elections in UK he was painted us Jewish agent. Now when he talk of negative effects of US war on poor Pakistanis he is paint as Taliban supporter.

I will like too see Imran controlling Tribal population then a mad Mullah but to win their heart he has to show him self as anti US policies and away from Pak Army actions openly. Example: even JUI who is in power, talk against US and army action , when they go for votes, even though they are sleeping with the government.

Exactly my point.

The militants are using poverty and such motivational factors to their benefits. While the former cannot be dealt with over night, drone attacks can be stopped or at least done by our own forces.

Rest i agree with you.

Drone attacks were not necessary if we could take care of the business ourselves. Instead, we gave the terror leaders VIP status by making them negotiation partners.

And who do you think was harping on about "negotiate" "negotiate"... The same bunch of spinless imps we see spouting the same meek hogwash "negotiate" "negotiate"... Utter nonsense.

They had their chance in SWAT.

Let me ask a logical question here:

Why would the US invest/give billions to a country that it plans to destabilize? Let's say you want to put money down to buy a house. Let's say you put 20% down (which is what US money is as a percent of Pakistani budget) to own a stake in this house. When you do that, would you destroy your own house knowing that a significant amount of money has gone toward this? If not for anything else, it would be really stupid for the US to destabilize and sink pakistan, when it thinks of pakistan as a long term investment. I hope the pakistani population gets this.

Just for your information, US intelligence companies have share in Drug trade in afghanistan, before 9/11 many armor companies in US was getting bank corrupt, and now they all are stable. How much they love our Nuclear program is not hidden from anyone.

Your question why they are doing now, i.e. because they want to put their mess on someone for blaming their defeat in Afghanistan. This is why they always ask for "Do more" from Pakistan. They always point about Al-qaida links in Pakistan. ..

Also, Imran is pretty much right about Government being slaves of their masters in Washinton, which is been hated by mass population in pakistan.

The chances are bright or may be it is about time when Imran Khan would be given an opportunity to lead the nation. PPP PML N coalition is now a sand castle!!
