Re: Hakimullah Mehsud’s top aide in US custody
When you know that you cannot stand or survive on your own, you tend to find crutches — proxies in our case. Be it Kashmir where the fight was outsourced as jihad to furloughed jihadists, instead of launching a sustained political and diplomatic offense, or Afghanistan in the quest for strategic depth, again something that should have been done in-house, the duties were clearly not rendered properly by any concerned authority.
