Re: Pak US relationship - Afghan War End Game

^ what are your thoughts about afghan governments writ in kunar, nuristan, ghazni, paktia and paktika? These are those areas which were never under control of ISAF. Reading western sources the situation of even helmand and kandahar dont seem that promising either. when Pakistan started operations in south Waziristan, Mohmand and upper dir Americans vacated their bases from the east and provided sanctuaries to TTP. I personally believe that Pakistan has had a fallout of the afghan war, and is being made a scape goat for the failings of afghan and NATO forces in Afghanistan. Having said that I believe that the army should forego any desire of strategic depth in afghanistan and instead go for friendship based upon mutual trust. The destiny of both countries is tied together through our shared history, any instability in Afghanistan has always had a bad impact on our region as a whole.

how about all the destruction caused by ISI to Afghanistan human capital, infrastructure, ethnic violence etc? Don’t you think that pakistan will have to pay a price, and that price is going to be very costly even expensive then 1971. The activities of ISI during the war with USSR is now appearing and alot of mujahideen commanders on regular basis speak out on afghan tv, which further infuriates afghan sentiments. Yesterday, former commander Amanullah from Gulbadin faction was on tv and the things he said about the roe of ISI in the war was just disgusting, one example ISI agents were encourgaing afghans to take arms against their government when they refused, the agents put shiit in the local mosque and blamed on the afghan government. This action killed over 200 ppl, this is only one example and i am sure there will be many more.

My friend, afghans will never forget what pakistan has done to them and if they have the chance to do the same they won’t hesitate.
