France since when did you have anything to do with the WOT?
You are irrelevant...
Is this statement to please someone or to further brainwash the Western populous to blame Pakistan?
We've been fighting since 2004, we've lost 40k Pakistanis, billions of dollars, damaged infrastructure, wasted 7 years and also damaged our economy massively....
what the hell have you done Frenchy?

Express India
Any neutral source?
Indian media can't quote someone without them actually saying that as it would become a diplomatic faux pas.

Not only France, any country's representative visiting India would give such statement.. If the same fella visits Pakistan he would state something according to Pak's policy (but will keep its own relations with India in mind).....
Its called diplomacy my dear friend.

Pakistan Army hits back over ISAF allegations
LAHORE: Often under American pressure to stem cross-border raids from Pakistan-based Taliban militants, the Pakistan Army has finally hit back by saying that the US-led Allied Forces in Afghanistan are doing nothing to prevent cross-border raids from eastern Afghanistan which have killed dozens of Pakistani soldiers in Dir and Chitral districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The US has been pressing Pakistan since the 9/11 terror attacks to do more in the fight against terrorism. But a decade after the US war on terror was launched Pakistan has thrown the same maxim back at the US, urging it to capture Fazlullah a.k.a. Mulla Radio. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stepped on the Pakistan soil Thursday after reiterating in Kabul in a blunt language that the Pakistani government, military and intelligence services must take the lead in fighting Pakistan-based insurgents but also encouraging Afghan militants to reconcile.
Fazlullahs fighters have regrouped after defeat in Swat and are as dangerous as they ever were. Military spokesman Maj Gen Athar Abbas has already described Fazlullah as one of the most wanted Taliban commanders operating from Afghanistan. In his October 20, 2011 interview with Reuters, Fazlullah vowed to return to Pakistan to wage war in his former stronghold Swat. We sacrificed our lives, left our homes and villages for the sake of Shariah and will do whatever we can to get it implemented in Pakistan.
Earlier, Athar Abbas had said in an interview with Reuters on October 17, 2011 that the Afghan and the US-led forces had failed to hunt down Fazlullah who is responsible for a spate of cross-border ambushes despite repeated requests by the Pakistani military and political leadership. The attacks in which Taliban militants loyal to Fazlullah took part have killed about 100 members of our security forces. We have given locations and information about these groups to the Afghanistan government and the ISAF. However, no action has been taken against them and the problem refuses to go away, he added. Nevertheless, many in the diplomatic circles of Islamabad view the Pakistani military spokesmans statement as a tit for tat move to counter the growing American pressure on Islamabad to take on the Haqqani network.
The statement has apparently drawn a parallel between the refusal of the Pakistani military leadership to proceed against the Haqqani network and the US-led Allied Forces reluctance to act against Fazlullah. Just as the Haqqani network is using the Pakistani territory as a base to launch cross-border attacks in Afghanistan, Fazlullah is using the Afghan terrain to target Pakistani security forces.
Fazlullah was the commander of Pakistani Taliban in the picturesque Swat Valley. In 2009, Swat became a focal point of Pakistans war against terror, with the army launching a massive military action titled Operation Black Thunderstorm, forcing Fazlullah and his private army to flee. Fazlullah regrouped in Afghanistan and established strongholds in Nuristan and Kunar, posing a threat to Pakistan once again.
According to Athar Abbas, Fazlullah is a prime example of the classic problem faced by Pakistans military. Militant leaders can simply melt away in the mountainous frontier area in the face of army offensives.
When they ran away from Swat, the Fazlullah group was in tatters and was scattered. But as they got time and support in Afghanistan, Fazlullah and his group are trying to re-enter the Swat Valley through Dir, said Abbas.
Given how dangerous his presence is, it is entirely appropriate that Pakistan has asked the Allied Forces in Afghanistan to proceed against Fazlullah on urgent basis. At the same time, however, the military spokesmans statement also belies the repeated claims made by Pakistani authorities that the militants in Swat had been defeated as a result of the military operation.
The military victory in Swat was crucial from the point of view of a larger front which al-Qaeda and Taliban linked militants had been trying to create in Swat. But fears expressed by independent analysts after the operation was concluded that the senior leadership of TNSM and TTP could retaliate to stage a comeback because it remains intact, have now proven logical. In fact, the previous three military operations carried out by the Army (Operation Rah-e-Haq I, II and III, conducted in Oct 2007, July 2008 and January 2009 respectively) had also failed to contain the Taliban militants.
Almost two years after the successful completion of Operation Black Thunderstorm, Swat is once again threatened with a possible revival of the Taliban-led insurgency. However, almost same is the case with the US-led Allied Forces in Afghanistan which have failed to defeat the Taliban of Afghanistan in their decade-long war against terror.
Analysts believe the key reason behind the failure of the security forces in defeating the Taliban fighters on both sides of Pakistan border is the growing mistrust between the once most trusted allies who are not ready to trust each other today.
