The ad hominem was merely to gauge whether you had facts to back up your claim or were you just trolling. it was a one liner after all, more of a sweeping statement than a post oozing substance.
Now to answer your question, you need to get a grip on the situation on the ground. Just because the Haqqanis supposedly don't attack Pakistan doesn't mean they are controlled by Pakistan. Its like saying a wild rabid dog who attacked person A and not person B was somehow acting on person A's behest. Operating out of Pakistan and controlled by Pakistan are two entirely different things.The areas these rats operate in were traditionally never under the direct control of the government and thus it's writ was never established. When this happens, it leaves a vacuum and that vacuum was unfortunately filled by the looney toons known as the taliban. Now you can blame Pakistan for its ineptness for not having control over its own territory but cannot accuse her of being the puppet master of these murderous rogues.
and one can question the nationality of the operatives.
Now i am genuinely confused. One can or one cannot? If one cannot ( which i think you were trying to insinuate) How can you pray tell decipher the nationality of the cartoons? They are unfortunately Pashtuns for the most part and Pashtuns on both sides of the Durand line look the same, unless of course you have come across new research that can tell the difference between the Pashtuns of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The trouble in Afghanistan has little to do with Pakistan's involvement but that's a debate for another time.
