Taliban attacks on US forces enabled by Pakistan?

[ashok321]

A recent spate of attacks on US military bases in Afghanistan points to a resilient Taliban with a steady supply of arms. It is a supply stream flowing from Pakistan – one that US troops, try as they might, are proving unable to interrupt.

Equally troubling for the Pentagon, analysts warn that these attacks serve as growing evidence that Pakistani security services (ISI) is stepping up its support of insurgent groups to jockey for position ahead of the scheduled 2014 departure of US combat troops from the country.


On Wednesday, two attacks in eastern Afghanistan killed three US troops and at least 25 Afghans, prompting the US Embassy to condemn the Taliban’s “murderous campaign.”

The sheer volume of explosives involved in the attack points to ISI links with an insurgency “that’s proving to be a continuous challenge” for US forces in eastern Afghanistan, Mr. Dressler says
“The fact that these guys can move trucks full of explosives across the border” is troubling, Dressler adds. “By not taking action, Pakistani forces “are signaling their tacit approval of this stuff.”

US should deploy their troops at Pakistan Afghanistan border and shoot those who try to come in.

Instead of pointing fingers the US should be looking at how Pakistani Taliban have free access in Afghanistan and which are the countries supporting Pakistan Taliban ( TTP ).

Not that easy, its terrain is damn complicated, border is very porous which makes it very hard to stop these insurgents who know the area very well.

That is what i was saying. How can terrorists cross the border? where is the US army?

Why don't US army shoots terrorists when they enter in afghanistan?

Then they should admit their mistake that they cannot secure their borders.

They can't secure the border, they can't stop the movement of the insurgents, but they can surely make a difference when they attack the camps where these insurgent are trained, gets weapons and ammunition and shelter. That's why US wants Pakistan to attack on those camps which is on its soil....and that's why US has planned Special forces raid inside Pakistan coz of Pakistan is, either don't want to or can't do.

US can stop them if they are. Anyway situation is complicated too much now.

Those who cannot stop them at border are thinking to attack them in their house?

All what i am saying is simple US also cannot do it so stop blaming Pakistan.

Thats really a defensive game. In our view, Hot Pursuit works better. As soon as we have the diplomatic ends tied up, we will hit these bastards even harder (than today) in their hole in North Waziristan. We can expect a major policy decision around this by Mid/end july

Exactly....Its easier to hit a stationary target than moving one.

They have far more superior technology than terrorists they should not cry like that.

I cannot understand why US blames PAK for whatever happens in Afghanistan??? Is it true that Pakistan Supports it or US is playing some tactical game with Pak???

Its a pressure tactic so that Pakistan could be forced to launch an attack on the Haqqanis and also to reopen the NATO supply route. None of which is going to happen anytime soon and hence we will keep hearing this.
