Once again Hillary Clinton has stressed that Pakistan to act against “all” terror groups and dismantle this network of interconnected terror groups …
It is surprising that the action against these groups is limited to a small area only. And as the actions in last few days has shwon … these groups have the capability of inflicting damage across a large area. Perhaps a concentrated effort to take on these terrorists in all areas need to be taken … and not limit to a small geographical area … teh US should help Pakistan to bloster its capabilty to take on these people … it is not only the survival of Pakistan that is at stake … it is the peace and security of the region that is in danger
**Washington: **The US would keep on pressing Pakistan to act decisively against all terror groups within its territory as “just knocking down Taliban somewhere” does not affect the militants’ widespread syndicate, secretary of state Hillary Clinton has said.
“We are going to keep pressing (Pakistan). This is the highest priority to us,” she told the popular Charlie Rose show.
The US is encouraged and supportive of what Pakistan is doing and wants “more help against our common enemy,” Clinton said.
Asked if she is convinced that Pakistan now understands that the Taliban is their enemy, she said Islamabad is now “evidencing that.”
Clinton, who was recently in Pakistan, said Pakistanis understand too “that you can’t just play Whack-A-Mole” – a machine game where moles begin to pop up from holes at random and the aim is to force the individual moles back into their holes by hitting them directly on the head with the mallet.
“You can’t just knock down the Taliban somewhere and expect you’re done, because they have unfortunately created this syndicate, this network of interconnected terrorist groups,” she said. “So the Pakistanis have to be vigilant.”
The top US diplomat said that in her conversations with both civilian government leaders and military intelligence, she found an awareness that the Taliban is not just about somebody else’s fight, "it is a direct attack on the authority of the Pakistani Government
Re: US to press Pak to act against all terror groups: Clinton
Is this true? The language that Hilary Clinton has been using during and since her visit to Pakistan has been surprisingly, shockingly direct blunt and seems to leave little wiggle room for the usual 'out of context' rubbishing on either side.
What's more, not one of her statements has been directly contested, rejected or condemned, or even protested to by anyone in the Pak government. What's going on?
Something has given in the Pakistan power fabric. My guess - she and Kiyani have come to an understanding.
Re: US to press Pak to act against all terror groups: Clinton
^^ and yet you are suggesting on the other thread that Clinton is under no influence of many ethnic indians who are serving under her and giving her input about policy making and so on....
Re: US to press Pak to act against all terror groups: Clinton
^ so you conclusion is that Hilary Clinton is being blunt and ugly with you because of a couple of underling assistant deputy vice administrative secretaries of Indian origin? Is that all it takes?
Re: US to press Pak to act against all terror groups: Clinton
^^ Its lobbying my friend.
You do not get a post of under secretary for nothing. These are the people who give their input (right or wrong), thus influencing the decision making process.
Don't tell me you need a tutorial on basic lobbying and shaping opinions.
Re: US to press Pak to act against all terror groups: Clinton
Hey genious, that is NOT lobbying which is a regulated industry outside the government. (gee wiz, this guy want to give a tutorial and doesn’t know basic alphabets!)
Look up a dictionary from now on before you come and make an ass of yourself
These hired underlings. Do you seriously believe that the administration will hire as key aides people that would provide inputs based on their country of origin and not based on interests of America?
