It's supporting attacks on the US and UK (its nominal allies), in the paranoiac belief that this counters some imagined Indian influence in Afghanistan (they are not actually able to articulate circumstances in which Hindu India has any sway over the Islamic madmen of the Taliban, but hey why take that risk, and anyway killing 'infidel' soldiers via the proxies of the Taliban is OK, because the West is too stupid to do anything about this).
This ISI inspired paranoia over India's 'influence' is so prevalent in Pakistani military and 'Intelligence' circles, that they will not release the required number of troops to actually defeat the Taliban inside Pakistan .... which just further serves the aims of the Islamist's inside and outside Pakistan.
Once again this ISI support has been publicised, but nothing will be done to stop Pakistan (and our so called Middle Eastern allies), from funding the Taliban, in its attacks on Western troops.
Can anyone explain why we support a regime that actively murders our soldiers, or what we ever hope to achieve in Afghanistan, when Muslim states are actively ensuring that we will fail, and that Afghanistan will immediately revert back to a failed despotic state after we leave?
MAYBE WE SHOULD WORRY ABOUT WHAT SORT OF 'FAILED DESPOTIC STATE' WE ARE CREATING HERE?
ReplyDeleteI assume that Cameron's keeness to get out before his Defence Secretary does is for political reasons rather than security. All the evidence is that the Afghans will not be able to look after themselves and that the Afghan state will collapse.
ReplyDeleteProbably in much the same manner as that which the Soviets left behind, with the 'President' having his testicles stuffed into his mouth as the Taliban slit his throat .
No wonder Karzai has kept his US house, he will jump when they do!
Can't say that I would blame Karzai ... no one sane would wait for the Taliban castrators to arrive in their office.
ReplyDeleteI think the Taliban should stop and get a life without making others life bad
ReplyDeleteIf they were willing to " get a life without making others life bad" then we would never have gone there in the first place.
