ISI Behind Afghanistan War: Dostum
2015-08-16
[Tolo News] Afghanistan's first Vice President, Abdul Rashid Dostum
...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier...
says Pakistain's Inter-Services Intelligence
...the Pak military intelligence agency that controls the military -- heads of ISI typically get promoted into the Chief of Army Staff position. It serves as a general command center for favored turban groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, tries to influence the politix of neighboring countries, and carries out a (usually) low-level war against India in Kashmir...
(ISI) is behind the fighting across Afghanistan.

The former warlord, who is in Faryab for nearly three weeks to clear the province from Taliban, told TOLOnews on Saturday that Pakistain was able to put an end to Afghanistan's war if it remained honest in this respect.

"The war not only in north but in the entire country, everyone knows, who are leading them," said Dostum, who was a prominent warlord in fighting soviet troops. "One day, the [insurgent] groups fight under the name of al-Qaeda and the other day under the name of Daesh. But ISI and Pakistain's [military] generals are organizing and financing these groups."

He however promised that as long as the province is not cleared of Death Eaters, he will not return to Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
Dostum has reportedly planned to conduct massive operations in Almar, Qaisar and Ghormach districts.

"After clearing this province, I will present my report to the national security council. My next plan is Kunduz if the security council agrees and the president orders. And after I clear Kunduz, I will leave to Badakhshan," he added.

Touching on Daesh fighters in Afghanistan, Dostum stated that Pakistain wanted to continue war in Afghanistan through Daesh which he said was a puppet of the neighboring country.

"They [Pak officials] say they are bringing Taliban to negotiation table. But they want to continue war by Daesh. This is one of the political games of Pakistain," said Dostum, who leads the anti-insurgent operation in Faryab along with his three sons.

Meanwhile,
...back at the comedy club, Boogie ducked another tomato...
he stressed the need for continued support of international troops to the Afghan forces.

This was the second time in less than a week that Afghanistan's senior government officials blame the fighting and recent bombings on Pakistain.
