Hi,
Because america has become foxnews----that is all they can do---blame everyone else---but themselves---and thank you for the post---the way you put it---.
I was thinking something similar---.
Irfan---the thing is pakistan has done a tremendous amount of work to decimate the terrorists----.
The problem is that we do not understand the intensity of the consequence because the truck missed the car by a whisker--by a hair breadth----so we shake it off as if nothing happened---because our problem is that once we cross over to the other side---we cannot come back----once we see the other side of the VEIL----we cannot look back---turn back time and say okay " he was doing it right and I was wrong ".
Pakistani problem is of marketing itself----. The generals need to stop pitching sales and let professionals do it.
Well sir, I still believe they won't stop these 8 birds. It is too small a deal to spoil graceful exit from Afghanistan and they know it. Most likely these are pressure tactics and should be seen in the backdrop of recent developments. US has been mounting pressure on many fronts and wants Pakistan to cede some space. Top most is nuclear weapons and missile program. More than tactical nukes it is the Submarine launched nukes and long range SSMs that worry them. That puts Pakistan in a very very strong position and it won't be easily dictated then. Then there is this embarrassing situation of Afghanistan. They can't face the public with the current situation over there. Recent humiliation of ANA adds to insult and hence the scapegoating of Pakistan. Then there is this warming Pak-Russia relations and increasing Chinese footprint in Indian Ocean courtesy Pakistan. Doesn't sit well with US policy of choking China via Indian proxy. US might also be setting tone for Pakistan's next big order for Military hardware i.e. come prepared to give in some before you ask for anything big.
All said and done, US still can not afford to walk away just like that (at least in my opinion). There is ISIS rising in Afghanistan which can make US exit impossible to justify. There is critical intelligence to be had and logistics can be a nightmare without Pakistan's help. There is also Russia-china influence to be counter balanced and then there is always a place for a country strategically located with highly trained military. In the end all Pakistan has to do is not flinch and it will be just fine.
