Taliban officials suggest their newfound autonomy explains why Pakistan is now claiming it can get the Taliban-allied Haqqani network to accept a power-sharing deal with Afghan President Hamid Karzai. “The Pakistanis are saying to us: ‘You guys are not the only Taliban. We have other clients, so we don’t care if you run away,’?” says the logistics officer. A defection of the Haqqanis—arguably the most effective antigovernment fighters in Kabul and eastern Afghanistan—would seriously divide and weaken the insurgency, which is exactly America’s strategy. But it’s doubtful Pakistan can deliver. “Ninety percent of Afghans and 100 percent of the Taliban hate Pakistan,” the intelligence officer says. “In the past we didn’t have any options, but we do now.”

And you expect me to belive these figures? And how about if I put down tons of stuff about Afghan love for India starting from Soviet Invasion all the way to say now especially for hindus which is quite evident from their actions. I am sure you would call it a hog wash.

Oh BTW there is a book “The Bear Trap” on Afghan war, you don’t want to know what one of the biggest inteligence agency had to say about India. I strongly suggest you read it.
