AQ has now 6 platforms.. Instead of 1.
Taliban still control Afghanistan.
Afghanistan still has no "democracy & freedom".
Hundreds of thousands of civilians have died and are dying.
Again..what does this have to do with what I said?
Read what i wrote again...US need not step foot into a country to "defeat" it...given the options it has available to beat a country with..
To make it simpler...How many could have died vs. How many actually died..
Lmao.. Taliban still control Afghanistan.
They aren't even considered terrorists by USA..(now).
US is advocating peace talks with so called "defeated" terrorists.
Did the Taliban rule Afg before the WOT? YES
Does the Taliban rule Afg now? NO
Your are mistaking presence of Taliban for rule of Taliban circa pre 9/11
And advocating peace talks is part of diplomacy...nothing wrong with it, nor does it indicate defeat in any way shape or form..
Not like the US is trying to negotiate with the Taliban govt. in Kabul. Its trying to bring stability through diplomacy..
At no point will ANY control in Afghanistan be given to the Taliban..they may be brought into the fold of politics, and thats what the "peace talks" are about..If they continue to aspire to take down Kabul, they will be beaten.
It Would be like Pakistan having talks with the TTP...does that indicate Pakistan has lost?
AQ is more dangerous than ever.
What was the last attack that was pinned to the AQ networks?
ISIS has emerged in Afghanistan.
ISIS is a new phenomenon and a threat only in recent years..
was ISIS even in the equation when WOT began?
ISIS also claims to have emerged in Pakistan...Has Pakistan lost Zarb-e-azb?
According to US & NATO reports.. 95% of ANA is useless ... Corrupt ... Indisciplined/criminals in uniform.
Has no chance..
They exist and they continue to get better...thats all that matters..
Until ANA is defeated and Kabul falls to the Taliban, my point stands..their capability not withstanding..
Nobody was going ape shyt.. Instead of acting like a c..t .. You should have read Paks statement on the issue.. Asking the Americans not to withdraw..
Which they didn't and hence Kabul has been regularly bombed but not fallen.
Yeah sure...Your countrymen on this very forum seemed to display a different sentiment.
We can always dig up those posts if need be...
Didn't you soil your pants during Kunduz? Do you want Kabul next? Ask the Afghans the number of troops they lost in the previous fighting season and are still losing.
If we are going to judge based on how security agencies have failed to prevent terrorist attacks or the number of soldiers that have been lost to War on terrorism, then we should consider Pakistan to be fallen already no?
I mean you're judging the ANA and the Kabul govt. that's just learning to stand on their feet (merely a decade),when your own 60+ year old country with a strong military is getting torn a new asshole into by the TTP? Hasn't Pakistan lost close to 10K soldiers in the war and continues to lose civilians and soldiers? How are you better off than Afg/ANA then?
Most recently, the attacks on Kabul have been repelled quite efficiently...goes to show that the ANA is moving in the right direction, albeit slowly.
He resonates my viewpoint...next..
coming from an Indian it's ironic..
The biggest beggar of the world .. Which sucks aid from all nations.. in the tune of hundreds of billions.. Yet acts like a snob... Provides its bases to US to spy on China.. Begs for mil and civilian aid during wars .. But still acts like ... pathetic people indeed.. No wonder Nixon had such positive views about your "country".
HAHA
...only Pakistan has the privilege of going from being the Bread bowl of south asia to the begging bowl of the world...I feel like your country has suffered enough beizzati from pretty much every country in the world...I wont rub it in any further. I feel your pain..and sympathize with your kind. I really do!
Enjoy the US handouts while they last...mind you the chinese are not as altruistic to their slaves as the US is...so beware!
