A puppet ruling Afghanistan

[CENTCOM]

Pakistan isn't a puppet of US, but the government was forced to cooperate with US even it is against its willing.

The US went to Afghanistan to free the nation from the grip of Taliban and eliminate the roots of insurgency and terrorism that branch worldwide. Can we deny the damage inflicted by the Taliban upon the nation of Afghanistan under their dark regime? The efforts of US and NATO forces in accordance with the Afghan government are leading the nation towards stability and security. We are working with an increasingly professional Afghan government and security force to lay a foundation so the nation can serve the common good and defeat all enemies; both internal and external. Cooperation between the two countries should not be mistaken as the US dictating to the Afghan President, government or people. In fact, we have been training Afghans to independently assume responsibility for the great nation of Afghanistan. President Obama has clearly stated that the transition of our military out of Afghanistan will begin in “2014.” ISAF may remain past the deadline to insure Afghan security forces have our backing until they fully evolve in a self sufficient security role. Is this not a strong indication of us wanting Afghanistan to prosper as an independent government?

On the other hand…….How can we avoid the reality that these violent extremists are as much, if not more, of an enemy of Pakistan as they are to anyone else? Have we not seen enough destruction by Al Qaeda, Taliban and their members who continue to prey on innocent lives in order to achieve their evil motive? Would it be wise to say that “government of Pakistan was forced to cooperate with the US” when the US and Pakistanis are focused on the common goal of wiping out terrorism? Are we not victims of same injustice which points to a common enemy and solidifies our strategic alliance? We know there will be disagreements, as there are in any relationship between independent nations. But Pakistan and the US will continue to overcome any obstacles to continue its war on terror until this mission in accomplished. The US does not dictate the terms of our relationships with our friends and strategic partners; rather, we seek to build such relationships through mutual interests and shared values. It is clear to us that in the struggle against extremists like the Taliban and Al Qaeda, our interests are one and the same with the people of Pakistan (and every other peace loving nation). Before you accept some proposition to the contrary, shouldn’t you first ask for evidence?

Why does Karzai want Americans to leave? It was American invasion that allowed him to become the president.

Karzai is even less popular, less representative and less a part of the people, than Najibullah. Najibullah could actually mix with the population of Kabul and his bodyguards were far less than Karzai's. All of Karzai's bodyguards are American, because Afghanis cannot be trusted to guard their president.
