Afridi says he was punished by ISI for supporting US

Re: Afridi says he was punished by ISI for supporting US

Pakistan is caught between a rock and a hard place.

Our Democratic Governments are incompetent and thus the military is needed to give the country a steady hand.

The military is the only functioning organ within Pakistan but it invents fictions conflicts with India to justify its large budget and keeps siphoning large sums to bank roll its large accounts and keep a stranglehold on the Pakistani economy.

Peace between India and Pakistan is not in the interests of the Pakistani Military.

And thus despite all the blows it has taken by these Islamic Groups, the Pakistani Military refuses to take total and forceful action against them and hopes that after 2014 when US and NATO withdraws from Afghanistan, Pakistan can funnel these Islamists against India and continue the proxy war.

This is a very dangerous self delusion, the same that occurred in 1971 which led to civil war and creation of Bangladesh.
