Ejaz, You should go back into the article and include the final words of Ms. Rehman's comments in the interview. The last sentence isn't complete and offers her views on the relationship between the P.A. and the afghan-directed insurgents. "And if trust and confidence builds up between...

"Darn it, and I was going to get S-2 to overhaul American foreign policy towards Pakistan!" I wouldn't consider S-2's overhauling of American foreign policy towards Pakistan as etched in stone even were it possible. "I have some very strong ideas on achieving a grand accomodation and would...

"Actually we don't use the drones as we wish." We do where we've the intelligence and means to independantly prosecute the target. "But with the joint cooperation of the ISI." Army and ISI are above reproach, particularly when their forces are engaged in war. Therefore they perpetuate...

There are too many of you and too few of me here and I'm tired right now of more. OTOH, I appreciate your sentiments deeply and there's room for discussion. Your government's point of view is critical to the success of the U.N.'s mission. So too, though, the views of many others and there...

"CIA funding bought Afghanistan to the state its in today." Horsecrap. Your ignorance of the participants supporting the mujahideen is embarassing if that's what you believe. "Let's not forget that crucial part..." Let's hope for your sake that you do as quickly as possible. "If the...

"Improved relations should not be misconstrued with our willingness to be subjugated." At no point in our shared history can that be a serious allegation despite however necessary to your internal narrative. You've nothing we want and too easy to have destroyed if openly our enemy. Your...

"Why not? If you don't like the level of cooperation, stop considering us a regional ally and use your other regional allies, the crack ANA troops and invade us." You seem to take pride in comparing the world's seventh largest army that's sixty years old to a nascent, still forming army that...

"I think the western Pro-Zionist, Anti-Obama media is perturbed with the fact that a Black president will have a face-saving withdrawl whereas White Bush/es had eggs on their face for every unjust war." "Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is...

"The US doesn't behave like a friend" Irrelevant how you personally view us and your four points are neither an accurate reflection of matters nor represent issues for our concern. It's a certainty though that proxies will keep you from improved relations while a proven fact that they don't...

"More like stop acting like a spoiled brat (the US) throwing a tantrum of ME! ME! ME! ME!" Haven't you any more articulate response than stomping for attention? That's the third time now you've resorted to such nonsense and I hope it's the last. There's a serious issue here of a dead...

"You can always use the prized fighting force that is the ANA to do the work the PA won't do for you." Not on your lands we can't. The world isn't shocked that you choose proxy warfare to substitute for your manifest weakness in gaining strategic objectives otherwise. That's work...

"...white-washed..."? Westernized almost certainly but look around you in Canada and then ask yourself the accuracy of such an assessment. If westernized, you couldn't be sure from where they draw their influences-at least not from the trailer. Even then they'd only represent a sub-set of...

"...saying that Afghan taliban are totaly not involved with TTP and vis versa is just not possible..." All things are possible in the land of the pure. I've had a senior member of this board reject the rather accepted assertion that the afghan taliban Haqqani network is present and owns the...

"Come on now, there's nothing to suggest TTP are in North Waziristan, and Afghan Taliban are in Orakzai." Perhaps you didn't read this comment by Lt. General Talat Masood elsewhere. He certainly suggest so- "Militants fleeing from South Waziristan and other parts of the tribal agencies...

"In other news, Pakistan is not ruled by either the US or India. World shocked." Concur. According to the article Pakistan may choose to continue clinging to its proxy Haqqani and LeT/criminal networks. Quite possibly this will be done while flagging Baradar before the world as proof of...
