Not all diplomacy is public diplomacy.
That merely means that there are no credible facts available to substantiate your/US media allegations.
Possibly. I think the doubts are raised about the intent in the first place. The resource issue comes later.
Again, without credible facts to support the 'lack of intent' argument, the American justification for illegal unilateral attacks inside Pakistan is invalid and unsupported
I personally find her an objective voice. She talks verifiable facts and data unlike many others.
Almost all her claims are based on HER organizations alleged research and interviews, not some independent or neutral third party. I have yet to see any neutral/credible substantiation of her claims. Reputed Western polling and media organizations have conducted polls in Pakistan and in FATA/KP, and all of their results contradict Farhat Taj's claims of 'Tribal's love drone attacks etc.'
So I fail to see what basis you have for arguing that 'she talks VERIFIABLE facts and data', when her 'facts and data' have been contradicted by multiple other organizations and analysts.
Agree to a large extent. But that is true for some Taliban leaders as well, like that Zaeef guy. That didn't prevent the "running and hunting at the same time".
Not with Al Qaeda, as demonstrated by Pakistan's neutralization of KSM, Libbi and hundreds of other mid and low level AQ members.
Possible. At least some believe it was not all 'non-official', probably with good reason.
Some also belive '9/11 was perpetrated by CIA/Mossad' - where is the evidence supporting those claims, and where is the evidence that leads to your claim of 'good reason'?
That was my assessment of the situation. You are looking for a smoking gun like proof. I think that will likely never happen.
So, we form conclusions based on available data and facts. E.g. in th Kasab case, you would assume no official complicity, I would think it couldn't have been possible without at least some official complicity. A different glass through which we are looking at the same facts.
Your 'assessment' is supported by nothing, much like the circumstantial speculative arguments made in support of '9/11 by CIA and Mossad' 'assessments'.
So far no verifiable and credible 'data or facts' have been provided to support either official Pakistani involvement in the Mumbai attacks or the US allegations. You can 'assess' all you want, but without any credible evidence/facts to support your assessment, the assessment is pretty much the equivalent of toilet paper.
To me it fits perfectly with what I have observed happening for at least 3 decades if not more. A continuation of the support to the Afghan rebels, the Kashmiri Jihad, the LET phenomenon, the Taliban, the use of Afghan terror camps against India which were run by the AQ, the supposed use of AQ by the PA under Musharraf against the Shia in Northern areas, the support for terror all over India, the support to Taliban.....
Again, there is no credible or verifiable evidence to support Pakistan use or support of AQ in either Kashmir or elsewhere. Support for the Taliban and support for the insurgency fighting Indian occupation in disputed J&K has been discussed extensively already.
It all forms a pretty cohesive picture as far as I am concerned.
More like cherry picking, distorted facts and unsubstantiated speculation to come up with a 'picture the fits your biases and prejudice'.
But this is the issue at hand. Obviously your posts have failed to convince me. They may be how you look at the issue but they are not indisputable facts.
The issue at hand is the need for the US/you to justify your allegations of Pakistani support for Aq/OBL, which so far no one has provided.
What does WMDs in Iraq have to do with OBL?
Indicates that the US is willing to lie, deceive and fabricate intelligence and go to war resulting in hundreds of thousands dead in order to accomplish some twisted strategic objectives.

AGNO, you are starting to sound like these conspiracy theorists...
Just because they thought of an Idea does not mean they actually did it, unless you can prove otherwise......
Again, please read my posts again, since you are obviously having comprehension problems.
At no point did I argue that 9/11 was committed by the CIA/Mossad - I argued that the kinds of unsubstantiated and speculative allegations being made in the US media and by commentators like Vinod are the equivalent of '9/11 attacks were perpetrated by the CIA and Mossad'.
