Ehsan,

Those are rhetorical points. If a large military deployment can stop a proxy/militant force then the Soviets would have never been defeated nor would Pakistani “strategists” be claiming that they defeated a superpower. What Americans are accusing us of is being a state sponsor of terror in all but name. Americans will of course downplay that the Taliban have local support in many Afghan areas, but we cannot deny with a straight face that they are not in Pakistan. This is scape goating for sure but it is also an open secret that the Haqqani group is seen by our military as “our boys”.

Haqqani is not the only problem in Afghanistan but probably the best scapegoat.
