Pak will hopefully avoid becoming next US military target: James JonesSun, Oct 10 12:35 PM

Washington, Oct 10 (ANI): Pakistan will "hopefully avoid" the 'unfortunate eventuality' of becoming the next US military target, US National Security Adviser James Jones has stated.

In an interview to Spiegel Online, Jones said that the US had been "working very closely with the Pakistani government for a long time now. In some cases the Pakistanis have responded quite well," but they needed to do much more in fight against terrorism.

"...There has been a very steady message that Pakistan needs to do more to stem terrorism, especially when they know where it is and when officials have information about what the terrorists are doing," the outgoing advisor noted.

"If the Pakistanis are going to be a partner in the long term, they have to make a commitment that shows the watching world that they are serious about forms of terrorism," he added.

When asked whether there was a possibility that Pakistan could become the next military target of the US if its cooperation with the Pakistani army failed, Jones replied, "I am going to take the optimistic view that rational people do rational things and that- with the help of friends and allies and common goals- Pakistan will avoid, or hopefully avoid, that unfortunate eventuality. But hope is not a strategy, so we have to be cognizant of the fact that there are things, which could happen, that could alter the relationship if we are not careful."

Talking about the NATO forces, he said that contrary to the impression, NATO had not failed as an effective alliance in Afghanistan. "The soldiers are doing a lot and the final chapter hasn't been written yet. We should wait and see how the transition period works out," he added.

On giving up military bases in Afghanistan and pulling out, Jones said the US had "every intention" of honouring its long-term commitment in Afghanistan and Pakistan. "We want the Afghans to assume eventual responsibility, but it does include long-term economic programs, long-term stability programs and long-term governance programs," he added

rather than talking about the implications of the argument..people are just cursing him. he is not a fiction writer. already US is attacking inside the pakistan. have some sensible discussion rather than mere rhetoric.

 

[Awesome]

Who is going to fund the war against Pakistan? US Congress seems in no mood for further wars.

i remember just before Afghan invasion, India offered its army and its logistical support to US for the purpose.
I believe India have more compelling reason to offer even more in case US wish to bomb Pakistan.

On the statement... i wonder if our anti Pakistan American national Ambassador to US will ask for explaination over this statement!

US will never go on a full-scale war against Pakistan.

Pakistan is not Iraq or Afghanistan. Pakistan is a much bigger country with a much larger population (more than Iraq and Afghanistan's populations combined). Also the Pakistani military is very powerful and Pakistan is a nuclear power.

NATO helicopters invaded Pakistan and shot 3 Pakistani troops, and look how the Pakistan nation reacted. US/NATO will not dare go on a full-scale war against Pakistan.


I think Pakistan should cooperate more with the Chinese military just in case. China warned US to not start war against Pakistan in 2008 after Musharraf went on his trip to China and talked to the Chinese President about America's interest in the Pak-Afghan border areas.

China warned US?
But still US and NATO are tickling at ****** border,
And what is China doing,after that warning?


US can crush China beneath its feet,in a matter of days...

Afghanistan survived after a 9 year war with America and Afghanistan doesnt even have an Air Force.

If Afghanistan can survive so can Pakistan.

Pakistan needs to be very careful here. It is treading a fine line, and patience on both sides is running thin.

Militarily, it is obviously no contest, but the political and other long term implications need to be carefully considered by the US to see if goals can be achieved with other means, the foremost being encouraging a change to a government (and army leadership) in Pakistan that will be much more receptive to toeing the line if the present group cannot be made to see the light of realities.

Afghanistan didn't use force to repel US,but as you previously said"Pakistan is very powerful(still can't stop laughing ) and a nuke power"
So that means that you were talking about Pakistan repelling US attacks...
Afgh didn't do this and survived,though its pushed 15-20 years back,now!

And if you use force against US,do you think it will spare you?

 

[Illusive]

Afghanistan survived after a 9 year war with America and Afghanistan doesnt even have an Air Force.

Its not survival, its the damage that has been caused to Af in this war. And this war was never conventionally fought. You think Pakistani's F-16's can counter American F-16 let alone F-22.

Pakistan can never think of being too aggressive, what it has done now by blocking the routes that it won't bow down. But you still can't stand upto US. Rest is upto US policies, who knows what they have really planned.
