Long story short , Fence the fking border with Afghanistan , mine it , trench it , fking seal it fully and properly .
And then kick out all Afghanis , no matter what kick them all out.............
If we have No Afghanis in Pakistan and Border properly sealed no body can say we are having safe havens .
Tell NATO and USA to have border posts on PAK-Afgh border . Rest is there problem .
We only have to seal the border and kick all of Afghnis out. Its better to do this then facing any sanctions or any thing for those Namak haram Afghanis . They are not Pakistanis and I don't want any harm for Pakistanis or Pakistan because of them......
Use Trump as excuse , kick all Afghnis out and seal the border ........... This is a Golden opportunity , Please don't waist it.

If someone is going to be outwitted by the Bush administration then what business do they have in leadership? I would have told them I was with them if they wanted to defeat terrorism, but against them if they wanted to spill Muslim blood in revenge.

Looks like Imran Khan is parroting the statements of some retired officials. If I were in his shoes, I would have sought a comprehensive report on the subject and studied it before issuing statements on the matter.

Bro,

Statements like these are worth an "empty can." We need a FOREIGN POLICY for the US and Afghanistan, not rants.

You meet Donald Trump and talk to him on his face. You offer him opportunities of investments and try to sell your narrative. You offer US a strategy for Afghanistan.

Before you accomplish all that, they will attack you. Because they are searching for an excuse to attack you. Scratch that. They have been creating the very excuse to attack you for the past 17 years. Wake up.

Bhai, i don't represent British foreign policy. I live in Britain, i am dil se Pakistani.

Maybe at the time Musharraf made a difficult decision, but it doesn't mean we need to continue on the same path. Frankly even then I think if we had stood firm we could have negociated a hand over of Al Queda leaders to USA in exchange for evidence. It is widely known now that at the time the Iranians offered them support (an Iranian PM confirmed it in a BBC documentary).

Today after 16 years look at the impact of their decisions. They are weaker than ever, we should take advantage of that.

AL Qaida leadership could be targeted with airstrikes and intelligence support, but Musharraf seemed to be more eager of Afghanistan invasion than US
As Dick Cheney stated, even the Americans were astonished at acceptance of their 100% demands, without any objection.
The sole objective of Musharraf appeared to be legitimization of his dictatorship by US, which was not even necessary.

Agree. Even isolated operations with a UN type force could have worked. Today we have more terrorism around the world that we did 16 years ago thanks to their messed up attempts at the "war of terror". It's not too hard to believe it's deliberate.

It won't have been that easy for US to initiate a full fledged war with Pakistan. Pakistan isn't Afghanistan or Irwaq, Alhumdolilha. US tried to bully Mushy and he chickened out. Apart from that, I still highly consider it probable that US had supported mushy to topple Noora only for this day.
