well done IK.If US is sincere in dealing with the militants in afghanistan and pakistan, it should co-operate with them but they are following a different strategy to bleed muslims .Osama did attack in US embassy in Nigeria and attck navy ship "cole" but they never ever attack inside US, 9/11 was an inside job to make an excuse to go after the muslims but they forgot the viet nam era ,at the same time they trap paksitan to bring in this chaos to destabilize and ruin its economy and they did.Even french president told president Bush why you want to destabilize pakistan,a nuclear state but they could not digest pak nukes ,and they did. Gen Petraeus who have been promoted to CIA chief , is a hawk who wanted the surge and does not intend to leave unless there is a big clash in this area and it looks like according to the american media,it might be in pakistan ,drone attacks are the first step so US is just following the neo cons policy.They wont leave unless afghans bleed them really well.Pak and afghans have been bleeding for the last ten years,how much a country can give sacrifice for their peanuts.Pak dont want a confrontation with anyone but why US dont realise the imlications in this region,just compromise with the situation and leave with respect.Talk openly with talibans ,make a deal with them and leave but its not their intentions because behind the scene,someone else is sitting on the steering? I have already written, a conspiracy is building up against pakistan in washington and time is slowly showing that.To make false allegations , afghan talibans are getting logistic and other help in pakistan,is their natural habit of lying like they did to Iraq and nothing proved.US should know they are the occupiers of a poor country who does't have force but still US is crying wolf,just get out and let the region become peaceful .
