The need of the hour!

[CENTCOM]

It is a great sign to see our leaders meeting to address the regional security and stability. It is the need of the hour to stand united and negate the growing threat of terrorism through shared cooperation and coordination. The terrorists are not leaving any stone unturned in their bid to destabilize the region, especially Pakistan. The attack on the Army Public School last month has left the nation shocked and stunned. At the same time, the brave nation of Pakistan refuses to bow down to enemies of peace. Given the seriousness of the situation, our leaders also realize the importance of working together to combat the growing threat of terrorism. Army chief General Raheel Sharif met United States Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander General Lloyd J Austin III at the General Headquarter on Monday. As reported, during the meeting, matters of mutual interest including bilateral defense cooperation and overall regional security situation with special emphasis on Afghanistan were discussed. Secretary of State John Kerry also said the U.S. was committed to deepening its security relationship with Pakistan in order to eliminate threats in the border area and elsewhere. Secretary of State John Kerry also visited Pakistan and met with the officials this week. The recent meetings between Afghanistan and Pakistan officials also suggest that both nations realize the importance of working together to curtail violence from their common border. As we are witnessing a surge in violence in the Pakistan and Afghanistan region, it is heartening to see that our nations are coming together to counter the growing threat of terrorism.

How do you see the improving relationship between the U.S., Afghanistan and Pakistan helping in regards to our shared peace objectives?

I think ties should be improved between the US and Pakistan. We need to demand some things however. One of them is a stop to the nuclear deal and weapons deals with India and a guarantee that the presler amendment type legislation will not be used as a weapon against Pakistan.

Note that India has been the largest buyer of US weapons in the past few years. The US is clearly moving from Pakistan towards India and this is worrying for us. We should clearly state our problems with this alliance. Note that US offered India better quality F16's than us. They are building India so that it can face off against arch enemy China and Pakistan.

Perhaps this relationship has outlived itself. If the US does not stop mistreating us we will be forced to abandon this alliance.

The civil ties may be terrible now (mostly because of Obama's insistence on being pro-India and anti-Pakistan), but military ties have always remained strong. Even during times of crises, PA and USAA have always remained in touch, and have largely ignored concerns from civilian leaders. That's not to say that the PA and USAA trust each other; indeed, the Abottabad incident, along with the killing of 24 PA soldiers, and the Raymond Davis incident have made each side wary of the other, but they remain committed to cooperate, despite what the civilian leadership is led to believe.

If Obama was to cut off all contact with Pakistan, and get rid of diplomatic relations, the USAA would still continue it's relationship with PA, at least in secret.

For that to happen the United States needs to have long term commitment for rebuilding Afghanistan.

Our economy is back on track, we have reliable arms providers and China has surpassed US as world's largest economy.

I say we only need to maintain our "cordial" relationship with US as long as we need to maintain our Eff-Solahs!

Get real. You cannot afford to abandon this alliance as America is your cash cow. $30 billion since 9/11 is a lot of dosh that has kept your economy afloat, without which you would have sunk without a trace.

Secondly, America knows where the moolah lies. India is huge importer of American weapons and equipment which in turn provides jobs to thousands of Americans. Trade is zooming between the two countries which is a win-win situation for both. In contrast, Pakistan is nowhere in the picture.

So it would be foolish to equate the relationship of India and Pakistan with the US. If you think Pakistan has the power to stop the Indo-US nuclear deal, then you're living in the world of delusions. No one cares a fig what Pakistan demands. As Clinton said, "It's all about the economy, stupid"!

The US-Pakistan relationship is moving in the right direction, buy arms sales to India is a major concern and increasingly becoming a threat to Pakistan. India always fights with smaller nations and will never fight China. All the arms buildup is directed towards Pakistan.

 

[metronome]

Wonder if Raheel Sharif briefed General Austin about how RAW is funding the TTP and what the Americans made of such an allegation.

not really, we are ready to fight against any nation be it china or pakistan
Chola incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
we fight against them despite 1962 defeat and won the battle as well, so don't spread lies, we can fight against any nation but yep we don't want a war because a war will bring our economy down, which you guys failed to understand since 1947.

If it reduces the blame game with agreed joint strategic objectives and operations it will be worthwhile. But beyond that there needs to be recognition that there's more to this war than the annihilation of unfriendlies. You have to remove the incentives that create and promote them. Pakistani government may truly want to reform the madrasahs and schools but the HEC appears to pull the strings and the civilian govt control of it is just as limited as its control of the military - the pm can only appoint leaders nominated by the education bureaucracy so it's practically a self-selected system.

I have dealt with Indians for a quarter century on a daily basis and understand India beyond your imagination. Training Muqti Bani terrorists, LTTE, stoking separistists in China and hosting Dalai Lama, funding terrorists in Pakistan.. India cannot live in peace since it creates unrest and terrorism everywhere. This is the dumb thing that cannot get through the Indian thick heads.

see, I didn't attacked personally but you guys can't stop to put some bad words in your post for us, that shows who hate the most.
So sir, as you have said we are everywhere, then why have you not arrested even a single Indian terrorist in Pakistan?
And we have always captured made in pakistan terrorists,why??
We didn't trained mukti bani, it was your cruelty towards bangladesh, that cost you. And dalai lama is a buddhist and tibetan. And you don't know how china has crushed the tibetans to capture their land, hence we are supporting them.

Aah Ma'am,why on earth are you trying to argue with them!You do know that it is well nigh impossible to win an argument with our dear western neighbors and still you're trying to engage them in a meaningful argument.
