don't worry, it won't be long before your "influence" will be kicked out!
lol, seriously, who are you guys fooling? We Pakistanis have more experience in Afghanistan than you india, lol, you don't even share anything in common with Afghanistan!
I know you're going to like this...
Its funny how Pakistanis think they can roll back to pre 9/11 policies. Pakistan will take on the Afghan Taliban whether they like it or not, you can keep dreaming about unleashing the Taliban on Kabul once the US leaves, but pipe dreams will remain as such.

British troops will have to stay in Afghanistan for another five years, warns head of the armed forces

British troops will have to stay in Afghanistan for another five years, the head of the armed forces, Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, warned yesterday.
He said no one should expect a rapid handover to Afghan troops.
The US commander General Stanley McChrystal is predicting it will take until 2013 before US and British troops can pull back.
But Sir Jock said: "I'd say about 2014."
His warning came as a ComRes poll for the BBC1 Politics Show found that 64% of the public felt the war was unwinnable.
Sir Jock told The Andrew Marr Show on BBC1: "I do think it is incredibly important that we do better at describing to people the success that we are having.
"What we see is the downside and it is a very, very painful downside - tragic losses, people injured and having to deal with a complete change in their life. But the people on the ground will tell you that they are making real progress. It is painful, it is slow, it is halting, but it is in the right direction."
Shadow foreign secretary William Hague said: "This level of public dissatisfaction is not a very good basis on which to fight a war.
"We have to do much better - and much better in terms of actual military success and showing that progress is being made."

In the meantime, of course, the ANA will be strengthened to resist Pakistani acts of sedition. India has its own options for fighting via proxy, we'll see where Pakistan stands in five years.
