Explosive: EX-ISI Chief Durrani Aljazeera Interview abt Pak Military, OBL & Policy

[Asian.Century]

Just read an explosive news on Pakdef forum by member Aslan S.: Internal Security Discussion 2015 - Military & Strategic Forum - PakDef.org : Pakistan Military Consortium

Former Pakistani ISI Chief (and self appointed spokesperson) General Asad Durrani spills the beans at HeadToHead with Mehdi Hasan at Oxford Union, not televised out yet, confirming worst nightmares of many in the audience at record studios. Some quotes:

"Pakistan is an abnormal country that believes in [Muslim] Ummah... and has helped [militant Islamic] movements in Chechnya, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Central Asian Muslim Republics and Middle Eastern Arab countries"

"Pakistan has and will continue to support Taliban, who should be applauded for defeating World's sole super power" - "the blow back such as Peshawar School massacre is an inevitable and acceptable 'collateral damage' in a long war" -

"Terrorist groups are useful up to a point after which they can be eliminated" -

"Osama bin Laden was probably in ISI's custody and handed over to US for a quid-pro-quot, If this is indeed the case, then ISI did a good job" - "Pakistanis admire and support Bin Laden and Taliban" -

"After 9/11 US did not pay Pakistan [Military] enough and were only provided minimal services in return"

"There is no morality in state craft, there are no red lines or rules in the strategic games between Intelligence agencies and no amount of loses (collateral damage) makes it too high a price to pay"

"ISI cannot be answerable to the kind of Civilian governments we have in Pakistan, Military rule has proved better than Civilian rule in terms of economic growth and good governance - I attempted to destabilize Benazir Government as ISI Chief in early 90s on the order of the then President"

The Interview will be televised at Al-Jazeera Channel in April 2015.

Our Army generals and higher ups, for one, are definitely not extremist mullahs.
They grew up in a liberal environment and have mostly progressive views.
But one cannot deny that they've toyed with people's feelings of religion to their own advantage.
Though I very highly doubt whatever the fellow is saying is true because if it was, then Russia, China, India and US would be all up together in order to take down Pakistan.
It's all false.

Whether the users here admit it or not, a great majority of people in Pakistan consider the Afghan Taliban as 'Mujahideen' and 'Martyrs' and the Pakistan Taliban are 'Khawarij'.

If IS is khawarij why don't Af Taliban.

 

[halupridol]

Taka dhina saa.
doesnt help situation of Pakistan.shud've kept quite.

If IS is khawarij why don't Af Taliban.

Ask the question from them.

I am not exactly sure but it is most likely because the Afghan Taliban oppose Indian influence and are generally more close to Pakistan whereas there isn't any link with ISIS so they'll just term them 'Khawarij' to save their reputation. Although usually, they try not to enter discussions which have ISIS and the Afghan Taliban.

No i asked you as a Pakistani.Do you consider Af Taliban as khawarij or for that matter terrorists??

There are different factions amongst the Afghan Taliban. Generally, I'd say no; I do not consider them as Terrorists. They are rather remnants of the Afghan government that controlled Afghanistan from 1996 - 2001 who were fighting against the US Invaders.
