The Taliban was one of the Mujahideen factions that formed during the Soviet occupation and the internal fighting in Afghanistan.Considering the Taliban didn't exist when Ronald Reagan was president. The captions on this picture are wrong.

I am just surprised to see how Indian fanboys are jumping over a statement that was meant for indian audience while talking to Indian media.
Many such statement came earlier and were forgotten the next day as its nothing more than politics.

So one day they ask us to hit them and next day they ask to bring them on table as ridiculous as it may seem but that's what has been happening but Pakistan isn't stupid enough and she is playing her cards really well no wonder after all the super powers and Nato did in Afghanistan in 15 years it couldn't help them overcome the problem as they are not interested in solving it.
They wanted this war to spill into Pakitsan which they did successfully but Pakistan has seen the worst of 08-09 when there were used to be blasts daily in our major cities now we have confined them to a smaller area and their attacks have reduced 90% as some body said the dying flame of a candle is always stronger I am sure this recent increase in attacks reflects desperation of Taliban and their handlers in Kabul and Delhi nothing else.
What Obama should worry is how many more decades US and Nato will stay in Afghanistan and keep loosing their men.
US wanted Indian boots in Afghanistan but they completely refused as they know how much easy it would be for Taliban to kill their semi trained commandos when they killed highly trained US and EU forces over years despite being no comparisons in weaponary and intel networks.
Besides if US is not interested in killing TTP in Aafghanistan we aint much interested in Killing their enemies in Af-Pak region we will see who wins this war in the long run.
In the meantime I invite Indians here to send their troops who took 3 days to kill 6 men in Pathankot to Afghanistan and see who Afghanis roast them day in and day out.
