@Sashan : Right...that many 'secrets' to an article in Telegraph is the epitome of credibility !
Try this instead : Bush rejects Taliban offer to hand Bin Laden over | World news | guardian.co.uk
Supported by whom & supported in what way ? The same ANA that is allegedly skewed in favor of the Non-Pashtuns, is composed of the remnants of the Northern Alliance & has a tendency of blowing the brains out of their NATO/ISAF instructors every now & then or the same Afghan institutions that are so riddled with corruption that they make Zardari look like Jesus Christ ! Yeah good luck betting on them ! Even now when the Taliban run with near impunity throughout the country, no one, least of all the Americans themselves think that the ANA would be able to wrest control of most of Afghanistan from the Taliban !
Read a candid take on the Afghan War by a US Soldier himself instead of articles riddled with talk of 'unnamed intelligence sources' & 'secret reports' : Truth, lies and Afghanistan - February 2012 - Armed Forces Journal - Military Strategy, Global Defense Strategy
Yes we do know the answer to why Pakistan would support the Taliban & had your military planners any sense before going Vietnam style on them...they'd pause & consider our narrative instead of blabbering about how we support 'barbarians' ! But no...cultural sensitivities & local narratives aren't something that Uncle Sam considers...you bomb the sh*t out of problems instead.
Why should I leave out Iraq & all other instances of US hypocrisy & world policing when Afghanistan..nay the Al Qaeeda itself didn't just manifest out of thin air but was instead a reaction to your actions ! Afghanistan, Pakistan & the whole godforsaken War On Terror doesn't exist in a bubble...had the US planners thought about these things the United States probably would have taken a much better approach to this situation ! Instead you declare anyone a terrorist or a supporter of terrorism who doesn't agree with your views, plant WMDs on them that are never found or accuse them of targeting civilians whilst you never indulge in any of that...right ? And then have the temerity of crying 'victim' when the worst elements of that disgruntled society (Read Al Qaeeda & Others) strikes back in the most gruesome ways imaginable !
You want a more constructive & wholesome view on where & why you're wrong - Read up or Listen to the man who hunted OBL for so many years as part of the CIA - Michael Scheuer ! Just go through some of his interviews & talks posted on Youtube ! Hes the guy who was there in the midst of things & was the guy who headed the team who hunted OBL after the above bombings (Pre 9/11).
