US support of Pakistan ‘strategic mistake’

While always having a little hope that Pakistan will fully turn on the Taliban and Al Qaida , that little hope is now gone !

Hearing that Pakistan is nothing more than one of the Biggest Donors of funds for the Taliban one too many times , I think a new strategy is in order !

I like the pull out and screw em attitude , it allows us to watch them rot and deteriorate to nothing !

But then again , A Thermonuclear carpet Bombing would do the trick Nicely also !

WASHINGTON: A senior Afghan official is urging the United States to re-evaluate its friendship with Pakistan, accusing the country of supporting Al-Qaeda and other extremists.

Writing in Monday's Washington Post, Afghanistan's national security adviser Rangin Dadfar Spanta said Pakistani policy has helped maintain a level of violence that is leading to the erosion of western support for the war.

US-led troops are deployed with a mission to fight extremist groups, but the task “has been compounded by another strategic failure: the mistaken embrace of 'strategic partners' who have, in fact, been nurturing terrorism,” he wrote.

“While we are losing dozens of men and women to terrorist attacks every day, the terrorists' main mentor continues to receive billions of dollars in aid and assistance. How is this fundamental contradiction justified?” Spanta wrote.

Pakistan and Afghanistan have long had a fraught relationship. Pakistan was a supporter of the Taliban regime but switched sides after the September 11, 2001 attacks, becoming the frontline US partner.
