In 2001 after 9/11 americans had asked Taleban to hand over Osama to them. Pakistan was asked to put pressure on Taleban as well. A delegation consisting of DG-ISI and few clerics went to Kabul to negotiate and it was reported that Taleban declined. Today NAjam Sethi on Geo said that one of the delegation memebers gave an interview later and said that DG-ISI instead of asking them to hand over Osama to US or expel him from Afganistan (like Sudan) instead told them to hold on and take one the americans.

Hold on a second. I am not a Mushy fan (as should be clear from my thousands of posts against him :D), is the “delegation member” saying that ISI told them to “take on the Americans” knowing that at most Taliban had few rocket launchers while US had all the planes, helicopters, missiles at their disposal? Did Taliban believe that they could counter missiles, bombs (forget daisy cutters as probably they didn’t know those existed)? Things don’t add up.

Similar allegations were made post Osama operation on american news media that Apkistanis did not want to catch Osama because they are getting paid to find him.

“paid to find him”??? I thought that war war against “terrorism” and not against an individual? Pakistan is getting reimbursed for the fighting as well as support/logistics provided to US forces.

During Musharraf era their was hardly any concrete operation against Taleban, in one incident 300 soldiers were captured by Taleban without firing a single shot.

IS Musharraf the real double agent to get us into this mess?

Even today there is hardly any operation against Taliban, there is operation against TTP yes, but not against Taliban US wants Pakistan to attack (North Waziristan)… that is going by the accusations/allegations.

Musharraf a “double agent”? or the WOT Pakistan side “double game”? Its likely, but is it for really financial purpose or is it for ‘strategic’ purpose is the question, more likely its for long term strategy when US leaves the region (would they really?)
