Re: are we?
well, you are orchestrating our Afghan taliban’s policy as a centerpiece to contain india as well as eliminate TTP and balochistan insurgency…not sure if i can agree with this proposition as we have been meddling with afghanistan for last 40 year or so one way or the other whereas indian involvement in Afghanistan is a relatively recent phenomenon
plus we created taliban in early 90s when we did not even have TTP issue in pakistan…so it is not like we had a serious TTP issue in pakistan supported by afghan govt and to counter it, we created and supported afghan taliban. this is a blatantly wrong. we created afghan taliban way before we had TTP issue in pakistan.
by the way we are also responsible for creating TTP groups which we were using against india in kashmir…when musharaff govt asked these groups to stop after 911, they turned against us around 2004…so it is not like india or usa created these groups. yes they are now using them against us but we created this monster.
plus these afghan taliban have been acting as mentors for TTP in pakistan
so we are back to square one…kindly tell me one good strategic benefit pakistan has received by creating, nurturing, and supporting taliban since 1993? why cant pakistan have a good friendly relationship with an elected afghan govt? why go for animals such as taliban?
