US official's visit to Islamabad postponed on Pakistan's request: US Embassy

That is a polite way of saying, "Phakisthan told us to **** off"


if taliban was so popular how were they overrun by 100 Special ops troops in 2001
Acting United States Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Alice Wells' scheduled trip to Pakistan has been postponed, the US Embassy in Pakistan confirmed on Sunday.

Wells was set to visit Islamabad on August 28 to discuss "cooperation in the region", said a US State Department media note.

The trip was postponed at the request of the Government of Pakistan, US Embassy spokesman Rick Sinelsine told DawnNews via email.

The new date of the visit is not confirmed, he said, adding that the trip has been "postponed until a mutually convenient time."

The development surfaced at a time when relations between the two countries are already tense after the US President Donald Trump, delivering a speech on Afghanistan policy, accused Pakistan of providing safe havens to terrorists. Islamabad strongly rejected Trump's accusation and is currently busy discussing the new US policy with China, Russia, and Turkey.

A day after Trump accused Pakistan of duplicity, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had warned Pakistan that it could lose its status as a privileged military ally if it continues giving 'safe haven' to Afghan militant groups.

Tillerson had claimed that Washington has "leverage" over Pakistan, "a non-Nato ally" that has been receiving US aid.

US Ambassador David Hale held separate meetings with Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif and Chief of Army Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa to brief them on the new policy.

"We are not looking for any material or financial assistance from the US, but trust, understanding and [an] acknowledgment of our contributions," the COAS had told Hale.

Links, please.

Haha. You could just try typing Afghanistan in to youtube. You don't have to even type Afghanistan corruption. Just type Afghanistan and 9/10 videos focus on the corruption and depravity of the American/Indian backed Northern Alliance govt of Afghanistan. There are many others but one that is quite good is this one;


Stupidity at the best, Taliban got your support because India supported NA.

America is failing because they did bet on you..

Don't drag India for your mistakes.
India is already having good relationship with Afghanistan because of our policy

You have no argument left and so now you are making pathetic personal attacks. It just shows how your hatred has blinded you from reality. Which is really a good thing for us.

At first it was 100 commandos, and now you have doubled it to 100-200 commandos? where did you get this number? it looks like another one of those "indian" stories. the only number i could find was wikipedia where it said that at least 1000 American special forces, bucket loads of cash, all of the opposition combined and the complete american airforce was used to remove the govt of the taliban. I don't consider Wiki as a reliable source, and no other article gave confirmed numbers other than saying that large commando forces were involved, so that is why I didn't quote them. But you are welcome to back up your claims if you can.

In any case, of course the taliban will run again. if the indian army can run from the chinese in 1962, then why shouldn't the taliban run from the americans in 2001? but the funny thing is that, even with the americans present and no one shoving the indian northern alliance govt, they are still running at a faster rate than the taliban ever did. it isn't a question of who runs, but what has been proven in the last 16 years is that what really matters is who can keep up the fight and return in spite of having a fraction of the resources that the puppet regime has.

In less than a month in 2001 they were thrown out of a country 600,000 sq km large by 1000 special forces troops
If they were so powerful how can they whacked in less than a month.

Look it may be a 100 commandos or a 1000 commandos which America had sent along with its air force and wades of cash to bribe the Northern Alliance so that they could remove the Taliban. The Taliban were never known as one of the super powers of world.

What really matters is who is the legitimate power of Afghanistan. While the Taliban retreated in the face American commandos and air power, the Indian Northern Alliance has been retreating in the face of only the Taliban and in spite of having the financial and military backing of the most powerful country in the world. America's recent policy sole purpose is to give the message that they will stay in Afghanistan to back the Northern Alliance and that is because everyone is convinced that the Northern Alliance will fold the moment the American withdrawal begins.

If this doesn't prove the power and legitimacy of Taliban, I don't know what does.

Thanks for this video. I don't know how youtube works but my typing "Afghanistan" doesn't give me "9/10 videos focus on the corruption..."; rather, most of them have to do with Trump.

Could you add one or two more, please? Thanks.
