[Barry Goldwater]

Lol, even now they care more about India than the Taliban and still want to talk with them (or even use them to control Afghanistan)?

I say them and what they have to say if it's garbage like this.

Maybe they saw Courage Wolf and decided the cancer that is the Taliban is a challenge - one that you can put off?

It's possible, as our failure would mean the Taliban could retake power and become their .

I can't wait for the Shahanshah to find this thread BTW

I think they are a little worried, That their former friends will arrive back on their doorstep. If the present drive in Helman? is a success.

If the Taliban screws Pakistan over (harder), it's their fault, they were the guys who created these bastards in the first place.

What the Pakistani government fail to realize is that the Taliban don't simply want to control A-Stan anymore, but to create a Pushtanistan, Pakistan's nightmare.

Can you link to stuff showing this desire to make Pashtoonistan? Because I would want to read that.

I thought the idea died out a decade or two ago.I knew that the Pathans never fully recognised the Durrand line drawn up by the British during the days of the Raj but still.

The same failed Pakistani policy that brought into existence the Balochistan Liberation Army will, no doubt, create a separatist Pashtun element. As of now, it does not exist. The ANP, aka the Pakhtunkhwa Mili Awam Party (Pashtun Nationalist Party), is with the federal government and has popular support.

Anyway, I don't want to derail from the topic at hand too much but it a couple of positive developments have taken place lately. India has agreed to stop arming, training and supporting Baloch terrorists (the same blokes that kidnapped an American UN member last year). Also, evidence supporting Indian links to the Lahore attack on the Srilankan team has been handed over to Manmohan Singh as well. Usually, India only stops its RAW activity in Balochistan if Pakistani agrees to curb its ISI activities in occupied Kashmir. However, with American pressure, they've unconditionally given in this time.

Actually the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (Pakistani Taliban) and the Taliban have advocated a Pushtanistan now. Not sure how recent this development is but they no longer want to be part of Pakistan.

Pakistan should be part of Pushtunistan. Led by brave handsome Pashtuns. People like the historic Mahmud of Ghazni, Mohammed of Ghor, Abdul Shah Durrani. Only through the leadership of attractive stout men, will Pakistan survive as a viable and handsome state. Rudyard Kipling helped me formulate this response.

I say we take Pakistan's nukes away and let them try to fend off the Taliban alone. I'm sure India is dying to pick up the pieces that will remain.

Lol, and how exactly will you do that? And the fear of the Taliban expanding in Balochistan isn't exactly unfounded, but i think Pakistan needs to shut up on this occasion.

[Admiral Piett]

Why can't they just shut the up? They know that Obama will expand the war if he has to. Even if that means US troops in Pakistan. Is that what they want?

[s.rwitt]

Too ****ing bad.
