Pakistan will have to launch operation in N Waziristan: Mullen

* Top US commander says Pakistan will itself decide timing of operation

* US forces not conducting joint operation with Pak forces at Afghan border


LAHORE/ISLAMABAD: US Admiral Mike Mullen said that Pakistan would have to launch an operation against terrorists in North Waziristan, adding that the Pakistan government would decide the time of the operation itself, a private TV channel reported on Tuesday.

Talking to reporters in Islamabad, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mullen, denied the reports that any operation was being conducted in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He said that US forces were not conducting any operation at the Afghan border with the assistance of Pakistani forces. The US admiral reiterated that the US respected Pakistan’s sovereignty.

He also denied having talks with the Taliban in Afghanistan, adding that solution of the Afghan issue lied in negotiations. He said the US leadership would decide about having a meeting with the Taliban. Mullen said that services of the late US special envoy to the region, Richard Holbrooke, towards Pakistan and Afghanistan would be remembered. The US admiral arrived in Islamabad on a two-day visit during which he is expected to hold meetings with the political and military leaderships of the country, the channel reported.

Mullen is seeing army chief General Ashfaq Kayani days before the White House releases an important assessment of the war in Afghanistan. Part of that review is likely to say that safe havens for terrorists in Pakistan are a major problem for the US fighting next door in Afghanistan.

“It’s a real critical piece of the overall strategy in Afghanistan and Pakistan and it’s going to continue to be,” he said. daily times monitor/ap
 
Indian Army Chief had divided the Indian army into 2 groups: Wikileaks

‘Indian Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor an incompetent combat leader and rather a geek’
While the world media has concentrated on the Wikileaks focusing on Pakistan, there is a lot of other juicy stuff about Bharat and other countries. Here is a sampling reported The Nation.
Wikileaks reveal that a cable sent from a US Mission in India termed former Indian Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor as an incompetent combat leader and rather a geek.
His war doctrine, suggesting eliminating China and Pakistan in a simultaneous war front was termed as “much far from reality”.
Another cable indicates that General Kapoor was dubbed as a General who was least bothered about security challenges to the country but was more concerned about making personal assets and strengthening his own cult in the army.
The cable also suggested that a tug of war between Kapoor and the current Indian Army Chief had divided the Indian army into 2 groups.
Yet another cable suggested that the current Army Chief of Indian General VK Singh was having an aggressive approach and believes that “offense is the best defence”.
General Singh has also been described as “Pakistan, China centric”, with an added aggression towards China.
The cable mentioned General Singh as an egotist, self-obsessed, petulant and idiosyncratic General, a braggadocio and a show-off, who has been disliked (and barely tolerated) by all his subordinates.
An earlier cable described Indian Army in gross Human rights violations in Indian Held part of Jammu and Kashmir while some Lt. Gen HS Panag, the then GOC-in-Chief of the Northern Command of the Indian Army was equated with General Milosevic of Bosnia with regard to butchering Muslims through war crimes.
 
Fake ileaks alert. Nothing to see here......move along now and single file please.

So we had Gen. Petraeus, the Deputy CIA Chief and now Admiral Mullen coming to Pkaistan in the span of three days - what's cooking ? - Perhaps it's part of the Afghan war review.

Spy agencies undercut Afghan review

Simon Mann HERALD CORRESPONDENT

December 16, 2010



WASHINGTON: The US is on track to start withdrawing its military from Afghanistan by the middle of next year and complete a handover to Afghan security forces in 2014, according to a review of the war to be released today.

The White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, suggested the review would contain few surprises. Instead, he hinted at an upbeat prognosis despite an increase in casualties since the President, Barack Obama, authorised a surge in troop numbers similar to that used to hasten the end of the Iraq war.

"There has been some important progress in halting the momentum of the Taliban in Afghanistan," Mr Gibbs said.

Advertisement: Story continues below The pace of the withdrawal, however, remains imprecise and will be determined largely by commanders in Afghanistan. The report is expected to acknowledge that Pakistan remains a sanctuary for militants, continuing to compromise efforts at stabilising the country.

While the military assessment was relatively upbeat, two new classified intelligence reports offer a more negative assessment and say there is a limited chance of success unless Pakistan hunts down insurgents operating from havens on its Afghan border.

The reports, one on Afghanistan and one on Pakistan, say that although there have been gains for NATO in the war, the unwillingness of Pakistan to shut down militant sanctuaries in its lawless tribal region remains a serious obstacle. US military commanders say insurgents freely cross from Pakistan into Afghanistan to plant bombs, fight US forces and then return to Pakistan for rest and resupply.

The findings in the reports, called National Intelligence Estimates, represent the consensus view of America's 16 intelligence agencies, as opposed to the military, and were provided last week to some members of the Senate and House intelligence committees.

Mr Obama, who is expected to comment publicly on the White House review's findings, met with his 20-member national security team for two hours on Tuesday, authorising minor amendments to the document.

The death this week of Richard Holbrooke, the US special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, cast a pall over the meeting, during which Mr Obama and the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, paid tribute to the long-serving diplomatic trouble-shooter. An empty chair at the talks signified his absence. The talks included the Defence Secretary, Robert Gates, and the commander of NATO and US forces in Afghanistan, General David Petraeus, via video link.

Mr Gibbs said the report did not call for any immediate change to US and NATO numbers in Afghanistan. A year ago, the Obama administration announced the deployment of an additional 30,000 personnel over the course of 2010, signifying an intensified assault against Taliban forces.

The strategy led to an immediate rise in casualties, with almost 700 coalition deaths this year, the highest annual toll of the nine-year conflict, as attacks against US forces almost doubled. However, after a peak of 103 deaths in June, monthly coalition fatalities have steadily declined to below 60, including 23 so far this month.
