ISI Chief to tell CIA Director Petraeus: End drone strikes, give us target

[Darth Vader]

CNN

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN): The new chief of Pakistan's spy agency will urge the United States to end drone strikes on Pakistani soil and identify targets that the country's security forces can then attack, a senior intelligence official said.

Lt. Gen. Zahirul Islam will deliver the message during a meeting with the head of the CIA on August 2, said the Pakistani intelligence official, who did not want to be named because he is not authorized to speak to the media.

"You (the U.S.) develop a target and let us hit it," Islam will tell CIA Director David Petraeus, the official said. "It would be ideal if the U.S. provides drone technology to Pakistan."

Islam's call will continue an ongoing refrain from Pakistan about the CIA's controversial drone program. Pakistani officials and lawmakers have demanded an immediate end to the drone strikes, saying they have led to civilian deaths.

In keeping with its general policy, the CIA would not comment on meetings between the director and senior officials from other states, including whether the Pakistani intelligence chief was coming to Washington.

David Petraeus served as a commander for US forces in Afghanistan , He very well knows what pakistan will do and What paksitan will not do?

Here's a better idea. How about if Pakistan's Intelligence Agency starts telling the CIA where all the terrorists in THEIR COUNTRY OF PAKISTAN are located?

Well, that's not going to work. As Petraeus' predecessor pointed out, whenever the ISI was informed the terrorists evacuated before the police or FC showed up. And this happened repeatedly, over and over.

The Brits claimed the same problem with the Free French during WWII, most spectacularly during the bungled Dakar operation. Their solution was to deny De Gaulle knowledge of any operations until the moment they occurred, or deny him access to communications until it was too late to make a difference. De Gaulle felt very insulted and used. But it worked for the Brits and the same approach has worked for NATO.

don't why indians spoil every discussion , i think mods should throw such idiots out of the forum....

there should be an end to drones and US should stop interfering into our internal matters,
at the same time afghanistan shouldn't be used as ground against PAKISTAN.........
if america takes sincere measures , i can assure u there will be no border intrusion from PAKISTANI side ...
US and her allies r trying to make us a escape goat ............

gen mac cristal was very right in his approach but unfortunately he wasn't allowed to run his policies ...

If Gen. Islam is truly an honorable man & a true patriot then he should throw all the evidence of US & Indian involvement in Pakistan on the face of CIA Chief Petraeus.

So, Zahirul Islam wants the Yanks to give Pakistan drone technology? How can he be so naive to even think of this? He needs to get real and grow up!

Drones are useless anyway except for scouting.

Oldman1, put your records straight:

Bait-ullah the leader of TTP was killed on fake intelligence report, which is called 'baiting' in intelligence; otherwise americans were never inclined to target their assets.

TTP is a terrorist organization and operating from afghanistan under the umberella of NATO. This is for information of all ignorants or propagandanist on this forum; whatever falg they hold.
