Re: Centcom: Bonn Conference
Peace and military operations don’t go side by side. Unless the Americans clear their priorities peace won’t come to the region. The Americans want Pakistani to conduct operation against the haqqanis and also help bring them to the negotiation table. How can both true at the same time?
They want Pakistan to carry our operations against haqqanis. On the other hand they are not concerned about terrorist safe havens they have allowed to flourish in eastern Afghanistan (their inaction or indifference to the TTP forces many people to think that the Americans support them). The American drone attacks keep on conducting surveillance in those areas but never have the TTP been attacked, even when the Pakistani army posts used to be attacked by TTP (in the hundreds) the Americans did nothing.
And now they are attacking Pakistani border posts.
