... 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...
to take steps against attacks from Afghanistan by Taliban in Upper Dir district," said the provincial government's front man Mian Iftikhar Hussain while briefing media on a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Ameer Haider Hoti. The meeting discussed Wednesday's cross-border attack launched from the territory of Afghanistan. Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa police chief Fayaz Toro briefed the cabinet on the situation in Upper Dir where security forces suffered casualties in festivities with the Afghan Taliban last week.

The provincial cabinet also questioned the NATO's ability to stop such attacks, according to the government's front man. "The NATO could have stopped these attacks, if it had liked doing so," he maintained. and said, "We may conclude that the NATO, by not stopping these attacks, was, actually, supporting the Taliban."

This was the first time when Hussain was seen using strong words against the NATO.

In the attacks, the Taliban torched schools and damaged other infrastructure while overrunning security checkposts and killing over two dozens security officials. The provincial government also demanded the federal government that all Frontier Constabulary officials serving outside the province should be called back to beef up security in the northern districts which are under the threat of further offensives by the Afghan Taliban.

Hussain said that the meeting was of the view that the frontiers should be guarded by the army instead of the Levy. "Police and paramilitary forces cannot guard the borders. The FC is a provincial force and it should not be used by the federal government in Islamabad and Bloody Karachi," said the front man, adding that "without wasting any more time, Islamabad should send all FC personnel back to Balochsitan."

The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government also expressed anger over the delay in giving teeth to anti-terrorism laws as jugged hard boyz were freed on bail due to "toothless laws". "We need strong laws to deal with terrorism." He said the provincial government would encourage lashkars in Dir and Chitral to check attacks by the Taliban.
