Re: Kasuri ‘to meet Israeli minister’
Typical Kabuli Kommie response to a simple statement. Dude! You have any idea of modern warfare? Wars are won and lost based on planning and logistical support. The great German general, Erwin Rommel, was dubbed “desert fox” by his enemies. Why did he lose then? He lost due to lack of men and material. I can go on with many more examples but I hope you got the point.
No one denies the untold sacrifices of Afghans (minus the Kabuli Kommies, the lap dogs of Baha-ratis and Ruskies). Around 250K Afghan guerillas saw the action. It has hard to pinpoint the numbers but a comparative analysis with similar campaigns would put around 100-150 K (depending on time period) Pakistanis who were supporting, training, and providing medical care. There were around 250 Arabs who were active as well. Similarly there were a couple of hundred CIA case officers, and MI5 agents. A few US officers also took an active part.
Money and weapons were supplied by US, UK, and few Arab states. The bottom line is that sans an active part of Pakistan, Afghan fighters would have been a failure. Case in point: In 1985-86, Kommies changed the tactics. They pulled out their mainly CIS based soldiers and brought in elite air cavalry. That resulted in a total failure and almost a collapse of Afghan resistance.
Seeing the imminent defeat, US, UK, and Pakistani agencies planned the use of shoulder fired solution of targeting Ruskie planes and helicopters. Stingers, Blow-pipes, and RPG training to Afghan and Pakistani guerillas was imparted in Pakistan by Pakistani army. This put the final nail in the Kommie coffin and they ran from Afghanistan with their tails in the legs.
Off course Kabuli Kommies and their Baha-Rati handlers will always hate Pakistan for that role. Your ramblings and ranting are nothing new.
