Afghan president Hamid Karzai tells US to take tougher line with Pak

[r3alist]

I think the selling was done some time back. The existing govt is just bearing the consequences.

ha, possible correct.

 

[Spring Onion]

Mr. Karzai seems to be going to great lengths this time to make it difficult for Pakistan, is it not? I wonder what causes this sudden surge in such a cold stance. I doubt sanctions could be imposed at all against your country at this stage, considering that numerous countries are engaged in relief and non-military aid work at your place.

Calling for sanctions seems to be rather serious, I must say.

At any stage. But Sanction for??? For failure of US/NATO to win minds and hearts of people they have invaded ??


If so then go ahead its going to rebound against them not us.

Karzai didn't said anything against Pakistan its "dnaindia" toilet paper.

 

[SEAL]

Reason why Indian toilet papers publishing such news now a days because world accepted India is uninvited guest in A'stan issue.
You can see the frustration of Indian government they are even protesting to join conference on A'stan. (Iran and Turkey please invite India and place S M Krishna in last row after such humiliation they won't ask for another invitation)

India was kept out of the recent conference in Sochi, Russia, that was attended by Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Russia. Even though India put up a brave face about it, its clear that while the world tries to persuade Pakistan to stay away from the terrorists, they will agree to Pakistan's "no-India" condition.

Iran will soon host another regional meeting on Afghanistan with Pakistan and Afghanistan, but without India. Turkey is expected to hold its next regional economic conference on Afghanistan in September. Turkey had kept India out of its January conference, but after India protested, it agreed to bring New Delhi into its "donor" conference. But in the run-up to the conference, India finds itself being kept out of preparatory meetings.

this is called namak har_ami.

On the flip side all A'stan countries fall under Turkic and Persian influence due to shared culture and heritage. Who the hell invitied indians with their hindi culture in the mix. Just because they were occupied by rulers of Turkic and Persian dynasties does not mean they come to lick the boots without permission. Heck even a pet dog wouldnt do that.

Afghan anger

The Afghan national security adviser is not the only one who emits confusion; all sides to the Afghan imbroglio seem to suffer from anxiety in the wake of President Barack Obama’s decision to start withdrawing American troops in less than a year from now.



In an interview with the Washington Post on Thursday, Rangin Dadfar Spanta surpassed all previous criticism by Kabul officials when he called for sanctions against Pakistan. He harped on the old tune — that there are sanctuaries for the Taliban in Pakistan. While this is nothing new from Kabul, or for that matter Washington, Mr Spanta added a bit of originality to Pakistan-bashing by asking Washington not to issue visas to Pakistani generals. That visa denials could make a country change its policy is laughable. But then Mr Spanta is security adviser to a government whose leader himself doesn’t know what is in store for him and how best he will face the day US and Nato troops finally pull out. Does America itself know the shape of things to come?

Even a casual study of the statements emanating from policymakers in Washington and military men on the spot makes it clear that they constitute an attempt to explain away Mr Obama’s withdrawal decision. These statements, while affirming that the decision is irreversible, seek to reassure all sides that America will remain engaged with Afghanistan. This makes no impression on those who have a stake in a post-US Afghanistan.


Meanwhile, President Hamid Karzai cuts a sorry figure. He presides over a corrupt empire, has no control over the warlords and often reacts in a manner that betrays fear. While sometimes he extends a hand of friendship to Pakistan, he often returns to his old posture, bemoaning the ‘sanctuaries’.


No doubt the Taliban have continued to use Pakistan’s tribal region to launch strikes against Nato and Afghan forces but such ‘sanctuaries’ alone are not responsible for what is happening in Afghanistan. It is little wonder his security adviser exhibits the same confusion. Instead of blaming Pakistan, the Afghan minister should realise that close cooperation with Islamabad, instead of confrontation, is in his country’s interest.

Mr. Karzai only knows how to bark. He cant ever visit other parts of Afghanistan because its not under his or under US Army control. The day when he goes out of Kabul and go to other part of Afghanistan he will be killed lozz.. Another American puppet.
