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”.

agreed but my main point is that when Taliban use their bases in eastern Afghanistan to attack Pakistan where are the American forces, why can’t they stop them, after all they like to boast about how well equipped and modern technology they possess. is it connivance on their part or incompetence. Therefore they should look at their own deeds before openly attacking Pakistan all the time. Just like when Pakistan wants to talk to Taliban it is bad, yet they themselves are quite happy to talk to “good” Taliban.
