Karzai asks Pakistan to unite in


KABUL: Afghan President Hamid Karzai called on Islamabad on Thursday to join him in an “honest” fight against extremism, which he said was threatening both neighbouring nations equally.

Karzai said he hoped the shooting of 14-year-old Pakistani activist by the Taliban would convince Islamabad that “using extremism as a tool” against others was not in its interest.

Karzai said that the shooting of schoolgirl Malala Yousufzai, who campaigned for the right of girls to an education, showed that Islamabad’s strategy was hurting Pakistan too.

“I hope this very bitter truth… has convinced our brothers and sisters, the officials in Pakistan… that using extremism as a tool against others is not in the interest of Pakistan,” Karzai said.

The Afghan president’s blunt words came during a joint press conference with visiting Nato Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen here in Kabul.

The Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan “has been the consequence of safe havens on Pakistani soil”, alleged Karzai, describing extremism as a snake which could turn and bite anyone who tried to use it against others.

Karzai regularly accuses Pakistan of supporting Afghan Taliban insurgents trying to topple his government – a charge Islamabad denies.

The United States, along with Saudi Arabia, sponsored the 1980s war in Afghanistan against Soviet troops which ultimately gave rise to the Taliban.

Islamabad, an ally of the 1996-2001 Taliban regime, formally sided again with the United States after the 9/11 attacks that precipitated the US-led invasion which brought into power Karzai’s Western-backed administration.

Yousufzai, who remains in a hospital in the UK following the shooting, came to prominence with a blog for the BBC highlighting atrocities under the Mullah Fazlullah’s Swat Taliban, who overran the Swat valley from 2007 until a Pakistan army offensive in 2009.

Nato has more than 100,000 troops in Afghanistan backing Karzai’s government against the Taliban, but they will withdraw by the end of 2014 and hand responsibility over to local forces.

Karzai has lost his mind, he has zero authority over his country and talks as if he is the lone savior of Afghanistan. The fact is that he is incapable of eradicating his opposition, therefore the blame has to go somewhere for his impotence.

I think what Afghans are hearing from you is, "Pakistan demands Afghanistan do our will, then maybe we'll throw you a crumb."

I don't get you, I'd receive your sarcasm with some appreciation if it were based on some incident worthy of a jest, but to mock over incidents that have resulted in heavy loss of life on our side? That's just pitiful, I'm pretty sure you'd be pretty disgusted if I decided to score a cheap point over some GI's dead body.......

Lol Karzai is adding salt to the injury!! but it depends on them whether they heal it or remain it open.

 

[Jango]

This isn't even news anymore.

Karzai has got a habit of having a brain-fart every couple of weeks.

Next please...

 

[A.Rafay]

Yesterday Karzai was telling that Pakistan Is using militants against Afghanis, And now this BS, Karzai is corrupt and he should be honest first then ask Pakistan

 

[Secur]

Ask him to tour the country just once to prove that he's the president of that country !

This clown and American puppet utters bull **** crap every week and expects people to take him seriously but ends up getting spanked by Americans , Pakistanis and the Afghans themselves

I don't get you, I'd receive your sarcasm -

It was not sarcasm. I was not mocking any body. I'm pointing out that after decades of sticky Pakistani fingers shaping the Afghan morass Pakistani credibility is low. The Afghans think Pakistan consider their country "strategic depth" - a fallen woman to be abused, rather than men to support and ally with.

The U.N. Security Council says Afghanistan is still on the way to assuming its full security responsibilities, so Afghanistan gets a pass for now. On the other hand, Pakistan has made it quite clear that not eliminating terrorists on its own territory has been Pakistan's choice: the coalition's superior armament and soldiery acted as a hammer that could have driven the terrorists onto a Pakistani anvil. Instead Pakistan decided to become a shelter and hatchery.

The fact that your generals choose a two-faced approach that murders their own honor, besmirches yours, and wastes soldiers' lives has not happened because Pakistan was compelled to do so by exterior forces; it's because Pakistan's military leaders like it that way.
