Just for the record, I have no desire to see Pakistan collapse at the hands of these perverters of Islam. Whether it shall do so at some point or not, frankly, remains to be seen regardless of brave talk.
I'm immensely pleased that your special operations forces RESCUED the survivors of the today's attack. They did well in very trying circumstances and nobody can pass judgement on their performance nor even should.
It doesn't change my overarching concerns, though. Nor should, if properly aligned, change any of those belonging to citizens of Pakistan.
The sad fact of the matter, however, is this and many other attacks receive the active assistance of your own citizens. Whether you can make a case that even more assistance to such attacks come from others-whether Israeli/Indian/Afghan or even America, first and foremost it is the longstanding assistance received from your own homegrown
irhabists.
Now it is my personal opinion that my gov't, stupid though it may be, would NOT submit the considerable measurable, tangible, real aid that we render-both military and civil, if it was our intent to collapse your state.
Regardless of sentiment of
Pakistan Zindabad, etc., we can do so directly and quickly or indirectly and just as quickly. We don't.
America wishes to see you strong and as a capable and trusted ally.
You're none of that at this point-neither strong, capable nor trusted. If you were, there'd be no need of external assistance. You have longstanding issues of social fairness that have transformed FATAville into a breeding ground of terror. This has morphed into such over many decades. By itself, it may have still lay dormant.
When you threw open the gates for the defeated afghan taliban gov't and its minions-A.Q., they radicalized your tribal lands and it's now "
game on".
We've our own considerable problems in Afghanistan. I advocate withdrawal there now. I do so in the hopes that by retreating, we can CLARIFY our enemies while licking our wounds and devise a strategy more suitable to our means.
Karzai is, indeed, corrupt. His gov't has no legitimacy with its afghan citizens nor with its western patrons and THEIR citizens. My American peers want no part of a relationship with this criminal and his coterie of hoodlums.
I reject out-of-hand most S. Vietnam analogies but any related to the Thieu/Ky regime there is perfectly appropriate on the corrosive effect such has had on both Afghan and Canadian, Euro, U.S. Aussie/N.Z. peoples.
That said, we hold your leaders no higher so it's a massive uphill climb faced by all.
There will certainly be more attacks. They aren't engineered nor facilitated in ANY WAY by Blackwater, et al but that's for you to believe or not. Doesn't work that way in our calculus.
India? Doubt it HIGHLY and I've stated my reasons in the past for those interested. Would the GoA attempt such assistance to the TTP?
I think so but can't prove it from Oregon. We've enough forthright American and others in Afghanistan that were it so, though, I'd rather think somebody would know by now.
Then again, maybe not. They may have the means to do business in a manner that would be unseen to most. I guarantee, though, there are no training camps set up to facilitate specifically such. Given the fact that the ANA/ANP is problematic as to whose side they may be fighting for on any given day, anything is possible.
Hope that helps and, again, congratulations on defending yourselves today.
Thanks.
why you come to this board when you call us the members here as terror population and on the other hand yeh you side with us just like you sided with Iraqi people.
