Pak Uses Terrorist Outfits as Proxies, Says US Army General

[Icarus]

And another applicable pithy comment, this time from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt: "[Pakistan]'s a bastard, but it's our bastard."

Roosevelt died before Pakistan was even created.

Obama's submission to Iran is little more than treason, as far as I'm concerned. Iran hasn't been an ally since the Shah, and considering that Iran's leadership and people continue to call for the destruction of the US on a daily basis, I'd much rather have that bastard outside the tent.

No shit . Its Iran who is threatening US on a daily basis .

And please ! It's not obama who is submitted to Iran . its US as a nation . its not 1990s anymore darling . just take a look around yourself son . Iran rules ME now . China has got you by your balls . BRICs can suffocate your economy if ur leaders bark more than they should . Russia can vaporize US . literally .

It's a new era son . embrace it .

So what? His ex-boss Admiral Mullen said the same thing, nothing came out of it. We do what we want.

Look who is talking about using proxies to get things done & who is supporting that blame. the ones who have history of using diff groups as proxies to get things done....IRONIC.... people sitting in glass house should not throw stones @ others...

 

[Sage]

@LeveragedBuyout

We don't have Black Water to ink a contract with ... Yet we have to fight a proxy ...so you know

Their own Congress says that Iran is the State Sponsor of Terrorism. And then they are desperate for a nuclear deal with that same ''terrorist'' country. I think USA itself is the biggest terrorist!

is that you Norwegian ?

[coffee_cup]

Today by slip of tongue the president of USA said the truth that everyone in the world already knows i.e. when Obama vows to speed up training ISIL.

USA support for the proxies of all sorts is very well known, only because it gets away due to its political clout does not change this FACT!

 

[Azad-Kashmiri]

lol Pakistanis hate USA more than India so that point is moot.

Only in your dreams.

 

[rockstar08]

America is like mother-in-law for Pakistan ... nobody loves or like them in the house , but we have to work with them anyways

 

[khail007]

It is not a criteria that, it is true because ' USA says it'. Many time it is proved that what they says usually a blatant lie.

Pakistan uses terrorist outfits as proxies: US army general Joseph Dunford

WASHINGTON: In a tacit acknowledgement that Pakistan continues to rely on terrorist outfits as proxies to serve as an instrument of national security policy, a top American general today told lawmakers that the US and Pakistan have differences on the issue, but asserted that financial and military aid to Islamabad would continue.

"Areas of divergent interest with Pakistan include our views on the use of proxies and the importance of a positive and stable Pakistan-India relationship," General Joseph Dunford, the nominee for the position of US Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee in a written response to questions during his confirmation hearing.

Dunford said key US strategic interests in Pakistan are preventing al-Qaeda's resurgence in Afghanistan and Pakistan, to limit its ability to attack America, preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology, and promoting regional stability, including a peaceful outcome in Afghanistan.

Noting that the relationship with Pakistan is fundamental to the US' vital national security interests, Dunford said the US will need to continue cooperation with Pakistan to defeat Al Qaeda, support Pakistan's stability, and achieve a lasting peace in Afghanistan.

Responding to a question, Dunford said Pakistan has cooperated with the US in its operations against Al Qaeda and other terrorist organisations.

Pakistan's actions in North Waziristan and other areas of western Pakistan have disrupted groups that are a threat to US personnel and objectives in Afghanistan.

"We will continue to work with Pakistan to do more," he said.

There can never be a complete alignment of national interests between nations, so the best policy is to work with what is possible. and try to create conditions to reduce friction where interest diverge. That is exactly what the good General says.

Pakistan has cooperated with the US

Well, these missions are held by Pak Army, US as always trying to take credit.
