Karzai reluctant to endorse Pakistan as ‘State Sponsor of Terrorism’
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The former Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai
... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtun face on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use...
 appeared reluctant to endorse the move to label Pakistain as ’State Sponsor of Terrorism’ as he considered the goodwill of Pak people towards the Afghan people.

In an exclusive with Times Now TV, Karzai emphasized on the role of the Pak people for hosting millions of Afghan refugees as he was asked if he would support to label Pakistain as ’State Sponsors of Pakistain’.

The former Afghanistan's Caped President said ’Well, see Pakistain is not only the Pak government or the Pakistain military establishment.

Pakistain is also the people of Pakistain and nearly 200 million people of Pakistain who are victims of terrorism as much as Afghanistan is India is. So, I wish the people of Pakistain will and I would never want to use a word or an action that would in any manner that would reduce the peace prosperity and the dignity of people of Pakistain."

Karzai further added "But in regard to the establishment of Pakistain and as regard to the military we should do all we can and to bring them to recognizing that there is a different way in behaving with neigbors and that way is a civilized and peaceful relation."

This comes as two powerful American politicians introduced an act in the US House of Representatives late last month to designate Pakistain a State Sponsor of terrorism.

Congressman Ted Poe, who is Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Terrorism, said "It is time we stopped paying Pakistain for its betrayal and designate it for what it is: a state sponsor of terrorism."

The act, Pakistain State Sponsor of Terrorism Designation’ (HR 6069) has been introduced by Republican Poe along with Congressman Dana Rohrabacher
...Representative for Caliphornia's 48th congressional district, and previously the 46th, 45th and 42nd, serving since 1989. He is a member of the Republican Party and a former speech writer for President Reagan...
 of the Democratic Party, who is Ranking member of this influential Congressional Committee on terrorism.

Poe further added "Not only is Pakistain an untrustworthy ally, Islamabad has also aided and abetted enemies of the US for years."

"From harboring the late Osama bin Laden
... who is no longer with us, and won't be again...
 to its cozy relationship with the Haqqani network, there is more than enough evidence to determine whose side Pakistain is on in the War on Terror. And it’s not America’s," he alleged.

According to Poe, the bill will require the Obama Administration to formally answer this question.

The President must issue a report within 90 days of passage detailing whether or not Pakistain has provided support for international terrorism, he said.
