US rejects Pak concerns over Indian 'threat'

[brahmastra]

The Obama Administration has rejected Pakistan's allegations that the developmental efforts by India in Afghanistan are a security threat to it, saying a stable and more prosperous Afghanistan will only contribute to regional stability.

"I don't see how helping Afghanistan develop its economy and its infrastructure could be seen as a security threat to any other country in the region," State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters on Monday.

"On the contrary, a stable and more prosperous Afghanistan is only going to contribute to regional stability," Kelly said when asked about Pakistan's allegation that the massive developmental efforts currently being undertaken by India poses a security threat to it.

India is one of the largest donors to Afghanistan post-Taliban. It is not only involved in some of the massive developmental projects currently being undertaken in Afghanistan, but also has contributed aides to the amount of more than USD 1.3 billion.

"I think, you know, the main thing is that we all conduct this in full transparency, that any side that is contributing towards the reconstruction of Afghanistan, that we do so in a cooperative way, we share as much information as possible," Kelly said.

"I don't see how helping Afghanistan develop its economy and its infrastructure could be seen as a security threat to any other country in the region,"

I think State Department spokesman Ian Kelly cleared what are India's intention in Afghanistan.Whole world is impressed by india's contribution in afghanistan's infrastructure.

pakistan has always doubt India's contribution in Afghanistan.Instead of helping India in afghanistan pakistan is blaiming India for terrorism in pakistan. They(read Pak.) blaiming India for supporting TTP without proof while TTP itself said to attack India after completing 'mission Pakistan'.

Pakistan need to re-think.

Pakistan is wasting its time complaining to Americans against india on another note India is playing a loosing game 70% of the Afghan population is Pathan rest is different tribes or also known as Northern alliance once India Iran is seen as northern alliance friend .i just do not see how after Americans have left Afghanistan. India will be allowed to continue or even stick around but i am sure reconstruction work will be appreciated by Afghans.

The US is only saying this because they want all the Pakistani troops from the Indian border to be moved towards Afghanistan to fight the Taliban but that is impossible given the current circumstances. If the US continues to ignore our complaints they can screw their war on terror.

They've already screwed their own one. Tens of thousands of troops deployed and no daily casualties of both US troops and talibans. I think they've already made up among themselves.

I agree. The US wants to install an Indian puppet regime in Afghanistan in line with the neocon agenda.

For Pakistan to expect a sympathetic response from the US is about as stupid as the Arabs expecting the US to be a "neutral arbiter" in the Israel/Palestine conflict.

Can you define this agenda? I know most Americans who disliked Bush defined his agenda as such. We voted that administration out of office. Is Obama Neocon too? how so?

"...you know about the project for a new american century."

...and that has what, exactly, to do with Obama's agenda?

I'M a neo-con. Obama is not part of my clique. OTOH, neither are most of the so-called neo-cons out there.

Those in power during the Bush administrations destroyed a superb window of opportunity to implement a profound and beneficial vision predicated on the moral use of American power and prestige.

Screwed the pooch both in articulating and implementing the vision.

Save your pathetic complaints because they can't exceed mine. Those men lacked the intellectual rigor and moral certitude to exact the full measure of benefits that we were on the cusp of delivering.

You lack the same in delivering your critique.

Massive bummer as mankind missed it's best opportunity to shift the paradigm of business as miserably usual to a more benevolent and unifying new world order...

Dilettantes-both them AND you should never meddle in what you don't nor can understand.

Thanks.

OPERATION ENDURING TURMOIL

Mr Obama is puppet of corporate finance. He is being run by the same people that ran the carter administration.

He is more like boris Yeltsin of USA.

Boris Yeltsin was run by oligarchs and Obama is also run by Corporate finance puppet Masters.

The brains behind obama administration is Mr zbig brzezinski who openly say that radical Islam is our bulwark against Russia and China the only two powers seriously capable of undermining the US and NATO

Difference between Bush and Obama is that in Obama's regime Muslims are not targets but rather they become the cannon fodder. No wonder the mosavi faction of Iran is also chanting anti Russia anti china slogans.

Obama's agenda is much more risky than that of Bush because he only took on poor and helpless countries where as Obama regime is much more ambitious.

Pakistan is the first target with sudan and other in the waiting list.
It will be interesting to see how the establishment of Pakistan keep on playing there blood poker with US and for how long?

India is being used by the US just as it used Pakistan against the soviets.

"...you know about the project for a new american century."

The whole world knows about it.

Those in power during the Bush administrations destroyed a superb window of opportunity to implement a profound and beneficial vision predicated on the moral use of American power and prestige.

Agreed. Bush and associates were bunglers that were not looking at the wider picture.

Screwed the pooch both in articulating and implementing the vision.

You cannot always have it your way all the time.

Save your pathetic complaints because they can't exceed mine. Those men lacked the intellectual rigor and moral certitude to exact the full measure of benefits that we were on the cusp of delivering.

They had once in a century oppertunity and they messed up.

You lack the same in delivering your critique.

Obama is not a socialist or a muslim while it is portrayed in the muslim word using his middle name. He is actualy a puppet of Corporate finance.

Massive bummer as mankind missed it's best opportunity to shift the paradigm of business as miserably usual to a more benevolent and unifying new world order...

You can always try harder next time. But that will require another Pearl Harbour

Dilettantes-both them AND you should never meddle in what you don't nor can understand.

Typical Yanky behaviour.

Military power is unsustainable without economic power. The Soviets found it out the hard way. The Chinese are doing it right, which is why China is the main threat on the horizon for the US.

The US (and the West) have been propping up India as a counter to China, not because India can ever match China, but it can be made big enough to be a huge 'distraction'. Pakistan needs to be contained so India can focus on China. Also, Afghanistan allows India to open a second front against both Pakistan and China.

After the Soviets left, India and Pakistan waged a proxy war in Afghanistan which India lost. Therefore, the US had to step in and replace the pro-Pakistan Taliban with the pro-India Northern Alliance.

World will be a much safer place without US.
All major conflicts of the past five decades were a US creation.
Always remember what goes around comes around.
India is playing the US game on US terms and conditions. US is not naive enough not to know the activities carried out by Indian proxy war machine.

I disagree.
As much as people like to bash the US, the fact is the US is only doing what all superpowers do. Because of its enormous power, it is capable of (and responsible for) much good and much damage.

If the US was to go into decline, then the next superpower would take its place and nothing would change.
