Small fish. Besides, Al Libi was repatriated back to Libya where he died in prison. And aren't YOU the guys who hid Bin Laden for five years, not to mention who knows who is 'hiding' in plain sight up there in your 'tribal area' ?

Jeez u sound like my ex gf...


You even let taliban open offices in qatar? cia met them in dubai? and even japan... so dont even get me started.

 

[bouncing betty]

No wonder she's your 'ex-girlfriend'. What's going on up there in those 'tribal' areas ? 'We' let Taliban open offices in Qatar ? Try Qatar 'let' them. Taliban wasn't why we went to Afghanistan, Al Quada was. Taliban didn't do 9/11, Al Quada did. We didn't 'let' OBL escape Tora Bora, we didn't have enough guys in country yet to cover the 'back door' to Pakistan and we knew we couldn't trust Pakistan enough to ask them to seal the border. We thought we could bomb him out but we were wrong. We don't like the Taliban, they suck, but we talk to a lot of people who suck. We talk to Pakistan. We don't like Pakistan, but we talk to them.

Pakistan military playing double game on Afghanistan: NYT​

New York: Slamming Pakistan for refusing to cut ties with the Haqqani network of militants, a leading US daily has said the military of the 'crippled and chaotic' state continues to play a "double game" of accepting aid from America while enabling the Afghan Taliban.

The New York Times said in the editorial piece titled 'Crippled, Chaotic Pakistan' that for years, Pakistan ignored the Obama administration's pleas to crack down on militants who cross over to attack American forces in Afghanistan.


Recent cross-border raids by Taliban militants who kill Pakistani soldiers should give Islamabad a reason to take that complaint more seriously, it said.

"Fighting extremists should be grounds for common cause, but there is no sign that Pakistan's military leaders get it. They see the need to confront the virulent Afghan-based insurgency that threatens their own country and has killed thousands of Pakistani soldiers and civilians.


"But they refuse to cut ties with the Haqqanis and other militants, who give Islamabad leverage in Afghanistan and are the biggest threat to American efforts to stabilise that country," the Times said.

It added that Pakistan's political system is growing "ever more dysfunctional," even as the need to take on the border chaos becomes more urgent.

The editorial said it makes sense that India becomes more involved in Afghanistan, "as long as its activities are transparent", and Indian companies invest in the war-torn nation.

Pakistan had a chance to develop into a more stable country after 2001 when it had strong leverage with the United States, which needed help to defeat al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan. Pakistan also received billions of dollars in aid. "But the army continues its double game accepting money from the Americans while enabling the Afghan Taliban and the politicians remain paralysed.

"Soon, most American troops will be gone from Afghanistan. And Pakistan will find it harder to fend off its enemies, real and perceived," it said. The editorial said some in the US Congress want to designate the Haqqanis as a terrorist organisation but such a step would be "unwise" because it could lead to Pakistan's being designated a terrorist state subject to sanctions and making cooperation even harder.

"The United States has no choice but to try to work with Pakistan, including the army, when it can."

While Obama administration officials are "reaching the limits of our patience," the United States cannot walk away from Pakistan as it needs its help in reopening a critical supply route to Afghanistan and in urging the Taliban to engage in peace talks so that combat troops can be withdrawn from Afghanistan by the end of 2014.

The US also needs to monitor Islamabad's growing nuclear arsenal and has little choice but to continue drone attacks on militants in Pakistan.

While US officials hope the crisis in relations caused by the killing of Osama bin Laden and other events will pass, they are holding the Pakistanis more at arm's length and setting narrower goals.

Thank You

Not bad. Icarus, didn't you ever want to work in the religious/rumor control section of the military? Then you could compose the "stupid and funny" yourself and get a kick of how the ignorant, paranoid, and superstitious pick up on it. A lot easier and less life-threatening than what you've done in the past, I imagine.

If Pakistani forces were sitting in Mexico and they had drones, they find even more terrorist targets. Might is right miss bouncing ****, btw you should take your head out of that but before writing something on the internet forums.

. The ISAF has failed in their mandated mission and thus need excuses to cover their tracks after a hasty retreat. .

This comes up a lot and i have always wondered about the coment, perhaps now a chance to get further explanation from a TTer.

Every one but the US is happy it seems to say screw this were out of here, so no need for them to "make up stories" to cover their retreat.

The US population thinks Obama care is the greatest danger affecting the nation that Alabama is a rogue state and maybe one in 10 could find Pakistan and Afghanistan on a map that had the names on it.

They dont care, those that do just want the troops home, who needs excuses when Afghanistan on the list of important issues facing the US gets a number arround 100 by most Americans?

I am bored of this topic seriously. It is like Husband wife complaining about each other all time.

Get divorce and be done with it.

Why do you even care?

The problem is between US and Pakistan.

Taliban didn't do 9/11, Al Quada did

Al qaida killed 3000 of your civilians in NYC.

Taliban killed 5000 of your soldiers in afghanistan.

So what's the difference between them? Both are terrorists.

Why are there SO MANY terrorist targets in Pakistan for our drones ?

You actually make targets by your own.

Was japan nuked because of taliban?

Was vietnam attacked bacause of taliban?
