More Troops to Afghanistan, More Trouble for Pakistan
By Farid Masood • Jul 30th, 2008 • Category: Politics • 11 Comments •
America has announced that it would send more troops to Afghanistan. Almost eleven thousand fresh troops to be added in near future. Adding more troops may also help to control insurgency within Afghanistan and may also expose these more troops to insurgent activities against them.
More pressure will build on Pakistan for food supply to Afghanistan. Currently Pakistan is facing out of control prices of food items due to Afghan catastrophe. Adding more troops will add more burdens on the people of Pakistan.
Beauty queen of America, Ms Rice, is pushing Pakistan harder and harder to ‘DO MORE’ to curb the ‘Talibans’ on its western borders. But the facts are other-wise, we are much exposed to infiltration of terrorists from Afghanistan due to weak control of Afghan government at its eastern borders. We cannot put such a huge army on our much long border with Afghanistan to control infiltrations. Our three million people on western border are safeguarding it for decades.
Its history of Afghans’ that they never allowed any foreigner and this is the basic cause of attacks on imported forces. This has nothing to do with Pakistan. What should be done more is Afghan Government should come out of its hide and control its territories so that Afghans’ attacking NATO / US forces are not allowed to seek hide in areas near Pakistani western borders and re-group from there to attack again. This is the only border they have to control and they are unable to do it.
On the other hand our Prime Minister visiting USA. He must speak out at the will of the nation with a strong point of view that what ‘MORE IS NEEDED TO BE DONE’ is stopping of insurgency from Afghanistan to Pakistan by Afghan Government. US is adding more troops to Afghanistan and this should improve the control of Afghan Government within Afghanistan and US trained ‘Talibans’ are not in Pakistani area. There should be no impression that we are hell bent to tell US of A that we are more ready to ‘DO MORE’ what hasn’t been done in last 8 yrs.
US should also arrange food supply to Afghanistan by its own means. No prediction about our political leaders but the nation is clear and united on one issue that we have nothing to do in this so-called war on terror. Its American definition based on American agendas. What we have to do is to control law and order, which is the prime responsibility of every government, situation of law and order has become worst due to US invasion in Afghanistan, and our internal security has become at stack.

Yeah, I guess all those Pakistani security forces and policemen captured by the Taliban the past two days came from Afghanistan.
Idiot.
Farid Sahaab, you say that we have nothing to do with this ‘war on terror’, where do you live in Neptune ? Let me rephrase it for your better comprehension and awakening. You might ( wish ) not have anything to do with these Goddamm Talibans, Al-Qaeda, and whatever other names they go by; now it is them who do wish to have much to do with us. Namely, they want to take over Pakistan and force their screwed up ideology upon us. Going into denial doesn’t help, wake up and be prepared to fight them and help them reach “Paradise” at the fastest otherwise they will give you hell right here.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT FUTURE HOLDS
But I know one thing for sure, Afghanistan, Pakistan, USA, and EU is in deep SHIT. Thanks USA, to help create so many RAMBOS. Like, Rambo they think war is not over, yet. We have to make them beleive, that, we are not unbelievers ( KUFFAR ENEMY ) like communist USSR, but God fearing
people. They have seen enough killings, and don’t fear death. They fought for us, and against us. Why don’t we cease fire and make a deal with them. USA and Pakistan combined have enough intelligence.
We all understand this war must stop, sooner is better, for all parties. In this war all parties invoved have cheated, and used each other, Faith, united them againt USSR, and mistrust made them enimies. Uncle Sam try to understand, you are capable of doing more, than you think. I insist DO MORE, DO MORE Pakistan will do better. God bless us all with wisdom, and guide us.
if pakistan cant hold its borders maybe international intervetion may help create stablity that pakistan despretly needs

Afghans had never been dominated by invadors so US / NATO force have to opt out of Afghanistan as early as possible. Fighting self-defined wars outside US will destroy US economy and world economy as well. How much time US can survive on deductions made on loans/donations etc
Aftab S. Alam
yes time to wake up and we need to too, but we are unable. these talibans, al-qaeda etc etc are trained and deployed by USA and old Pakistani Dictators, what we have to do is to re-inforce our peace loving polpulation on western border to curb infilteration to Pakistan.

very well said, the ultimate solution is dialogue.
“Beauty queen of America, Ms Rice”
Farid, we all may need to get our eyes examined if we start believing in the above quoted statement.
I agree that this war in FATA or in Afghanistan can not be win in present circumstances. Local support is very much required to target accurately. But unfortunately, every time US/NATO or Pak Army kills innocent civilians along with Taliban. This thing is spreading hatred in whole region against the forces. How you can win in such situation when you are making more enemies by bombarding on innocent people.
Few months back, NATO targeted one marriage ceremony in village. It increased hatred and many people joined Taliban. Taliban is playing intelligently. The more NATO will hit on wrong places, the more Taliban will get stronger. It is not view… I heard all this in BBC discussion.
FATA people were equipped with all war heads since Russian war. They were not creating problem in start and government had chance to catch few culprits at the time when they came on streets with Loud Speakers for NIZAM E MUSTAFA etc etc. At that time, our government not disturbed them to gain political support from USA and later on same culprits started spreading all over. Today when ever I see SWAT valley on TV, really my eyes gets wet. It was the most peaceful area in Pakistan. Even their locals never ever stared visitors families… but today, it is burning. Alas….
May Allah save our Pakistan. I can pray for all to get calm and think for the sake of Humanity. All are human beings and murder of one Human being is like Murder of whole Humanity. May people think in this way… specially these Contractors of Islam.

Very well said Saleem!
Can you please explain what you mean by “Contractors of Islam”?
Doctor Sahab, Contractor means THAIKAY DAR
You know, some time we have to make words beautiful by translating them into English.
I’m amazed on their thinkings who burns girls schools, who beats women on roads, who slaps on women faces if not covered by Burqa…
Where it is written in Islam. Slapping on any body’s face is prohibited in Islam. Our Prophet Muhammad S.A.W said that He is not from Us, who slaps on others face.
These people reads Arabic Quran without knowing meanings and then says we are following accurately. Have they ever touched SAHI BUKHARI or SAHi MUSLIM for reference purposes… Alas…!
Saleem Khan
we are read arabic Quran, scarce people out there who recite with meanings. But reciting Quran with meaning has endless result. ‘Ba tarjma perhnay ki kiya baat hay’
