the afghan mess
yet again karzai and his rag tag government have gone off the deep end...they know where osama and mullah umer are...they know exactly where they're hiding in villain of the century pakistan yet the heroes of the century america has no clue...i mean what kind of nonsense is this....if they know where those two r hiding why the hell is america their protector publicly pronouncing its ignorance about this and not pressuring us to do more..why is it tht zawahiri guy spends half his time exhorting pakistanis to oust musharraf...maybe karzai's right and musharraf's in bed with al qaeda and the taliban...zawahiri is making such statements to make musharraf look good..maybe musharraf's ordered hundereds of troops to get themselves killed in waziristan and elsewhere so tht he looks good.maybe he's angering many of his own public and those MMA fundos to look good...and he's just biding for time to show his true colors which will see the unleashing of the taliban on hapless karzai and afghanistan...karzai needs to get his opium hookah out of his mouth...its at times like these when i sometimes want to unleash my nationalistic/xenophobic side...send all the refugees packing...send a bill asking for payments they owe us for hosting their asses for 25 long yrs...seal of the border..fence it completely and forever discard the durrand line issue to the dustbins of history...finally ban the afghan transit facility...let them go through iran...he should remember one thing...the american will leave and forget about them...so will the rest of the west...but we'll still be here...we'll still be here...

It is a smear campaign definitely but probably has something to do with Pakistan's dithering and vacillating between handing out loaves to Taliban remnants and the new government. There is no unified practicaly policy that runs the vein of the institutional hierarchy in Pakistan dealing with Afghanistan and Afghans even if Musharraf is clear on his stance. The ambivalence in measures is probably built on by the Indian side which has ridden the crest of the post-war mess in going all out to help construct the Afghan Parliament and sealing economic/political deals left right and center.
moizza i couldnt agree more...this whole 80's/90's afghan policy is coming home to roost..we should have been supporting a unity government in afghanistan back then but people like hameed gul started acting like gods...we should have forced ahmed shah masud and heknatyar to mend their fences but no we had to divide and rule...our ambivalence frustrates the hell out of me...but then i realise its not easy to reverse two decades of entrenched establishment policy and mentality...we might have created the monster taliban but the creature also changed the creator..all im saying is tht this smear campaign givesd further ammunition to the MMA types who come on television and blast musharrafs U turn on afghanistan citing a hostile neighbor on both sides.india has benefitted the most.as a result i just hope the smear campaign doesnt become a self fulfilling prophecy cos if india continues to gain advantage and karzai continues to mouth off like this the establishment might very well go on the back foot and do something quite stupid like supporting the taliban once again..
