"That's unfair and certainly not what is going on, on the contrary, there is a recognition of failure and a commitment to proceed against insurgents...."
It's my guess that we're unconvinced based on the most recent comments to that effect regarding the ISI by Adm. Mullen last week. Paired to Holbrooke's comments about gulf aid along with a big, fat, short-answer "no" on "evidence" we see a lot of equivocation and dissemblance but no substantive changes for the better.
"Proxy wars are not something the US has not engaged in?"
Can't remember when we did so against an ally. Remind me please.
That's our flesh, bone, and blood being scattered by IEDs courtesy of your proxy heros.
"...followed it's national interests as it has understood them, and so has Pakistan."
By making war on America and our ISAF allies in Afghanistan via your proxy armies? You fight to prevent the raising forth of a stable Afghanistan IAW a U.N. mandate?
To gain...what, exactly?
A taliban gov't in Afghanistan with its Al Qaeda associates? And your "mentorship" once more?
You do realize that you now have your own pashtu taliban insurgency from home-grown stock? Why does Pakistan believe that these forces, combined, won't see your natural weakness and attack you?
It seems obvious that your destruction is at hand if your ambitions for Afghanistan are realized in full. I can't imagine we'll be coming to your aid.
Oh well.
Nobody ever said you guys make sense.
UN mandate ????? hahahahahahahahahahaha, that same UN who has been made a laughing stock by american leadership over the past many years. Where is then UN on Palestinian rights ??
Was there any mandate by UN for USA to invade a sovereign state of Iraq based on fake charges of WMD. I don't think so.
Where there is american interest UN mandate comes into play, and where the UN mandate goes against the US or its master Israel, the Un mandate is shattered to pieces.
The so called UN says that afghan war is being funded by drug trade, americans acknowledge it, ISAF troops have been started to be used in poppy eradication, which is being grown in taliban as well as govt controlled areas, Mike Mullen and Hallbroke are just puppets for the american policy makers, they will say whatever is commanded to them. The un-acceptance on their part about these allegations is to hide their incompetence in tackling the afghan issue, and trying to hide the fact that during taliban the poppy cultivation had been ZERO and during american occupation it has gone to the 90% of world supplies, to hide this truth the blame comes on gulf funding, if they are so sure about gulf funding then they off course know the sources, why not eradicate those sources of funding ??? Because americans don't have any proof.
And as for un-acceptance of allegations of indian and other agencies involvement in destablization of pakistan, off course they won't accept it, because then american image will get a hit which is already in a pathetic situation, but the truth is these all elements who are fighting the pakistan army are not the taliban of afghanistan nor they have any link with them. So if they don't have a link to the afghan taliban then who the hell is supplying them with weapons and money, a logical and sane person would definitely say someone from outside the country. The PA has captured Israeli, Russian and even some very latest British sniper rifles in swat, Taliban in afghanistan have these weapons ?? Don't think so, then who else can provide them to these elements in Pakistan ???
BLA was finished, who resurrected them and afghan govt has acknowledged the BLA leader to be in Kabul as their guest.
Why are there Brigadier and senior level indian army officers in the Indian consulates ?? Embassy is fine as it can be a defence attachee, but why army officers in the consulates ???
For the last 5 years not a single air strike in the Baitullah Mehsud area has been conducted by the americans ?? WHY ?? Because he is doing a good job by destabilizing Pakistan, then why conduct air strike, rather give him more money and weapons.
As for why destabilize a so called ally, because we are not an ally, just on papers we are ally, in reality we are a pain in the aaassss of the americans due to our nuclear program, and due to the Israeli master commands Pakistan has to be destroyed or nuclear program rolled back so that no other muslim or any other hostile nation gets them as then Israel will have problem in killing more muslims without any check.
Man. americans have one hell of a brain to justify everything even if the truth is lying naked in front of them.
S-2 sir, why are u wasting ur time on this website, u should be part of the neoconservatives (which does look to be the case), u can easily get a job with anyone of Stupid Bush, DICK Cheney, Rums fledd or Anaconda Rice or even Paul Wolf. These all are great in lying and making excuses without any reasonable evidence.
So doesn't the americans make any sense for their barbarism.
