Re: Obama aims to end Afghan war before leaving office
If anyone thing that It was Pakistan alone who created/funded taliban to caputre Afghanistan than they are giving un-due credit to Pakistan. It was a joint operation of CIA and ISI, Taliban were meant to keep the country peaceful so that the interest of Americans can be achieved in the region... again Pakistan did the job right untill Osama bin Laden came back to Afghanistan from Sudan...
Things went well for 5/6 years and then 9-11 happend, the only thing Taliban did wrong was they denied the order of their masters Pakistan and USA to hand over Osama ben Laden to USA.. had it been done then.. we might still had taliban ruling Afghanistan.. any that is another story...
If US-NATO leaves and they out-source the war through CIA to Pakistan, this will ensure two things.. 1) No Indian Involvement in Afghanistan, hence Baloch and other religious terrorist will not get any support and ground in Afghanistan 2) Pakistan will again manage to create some groups in Afghan, who will fight to win Kabul ( ofcourse with US-PAK support ) and fight the hard-core elements of Taliban.. then these talibs shall have no moral ground to hire new MUJAHIDS nor does American has to loose to many lives or had to pay so much in terms of money..
Pakistani Establishment has been trying to convey this message to US-Govt...but BUSH was under the influence of christain taliban and he was fighting a religious war in Afghanistan.. may be Obama have foreseen the future and would be able to handle the situaiton with care and can have withdrawal from Afghanistan...
