Pakistan blames international community failure for the mess in Afghanistan
2016-05-16
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Pak Ambassador to United States Jalil Abbas Jilani has blamed the international community failure for the mess in Afghanistan.

In response to an Editorial by the New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
, the Pak envoy has said "Pakistain cannot be held responsible for the mess in Afghanistan which is the result of the collective failure of the international community."

Calling the editorial as biased, Jilani further added that "Allegations of duplicity and double game are extremely painful especially when Pakistain has suffered the most due to the war in Afghanistan. Hundreds of suicide kabooms and tens of thousands of civilian casualties are the direct result of the US led war in Afghanistan after 9/11."

The Pak envoy has also claimed that the country’s military has "fractured the back of Taliban" through indiscriminate counter-terrorism operations.

Pakistain "remains a duplicitous and dangerous partner for the United States and Afghanistan, despite $33 billion in American aid and repeated attempts to reset relations on a more constructive course," according to the Editorial.

It also added that the Senate foreign affairs committee chairman Bob Corker had "widely" put a hold on American funding for subsidizing the sale of eight new F-16 fighter jets to Pakistain -- it will have to pay the full amount of $700 million for them, instead of the $380 million it would have paid earlier.

Corker and several of his Senate colleagues cutting across party lines have also used the word "duplicitous" for Pakistain for its "double game" in dealing with terrorists.

Meanwhile,
...back at the Alamo, Davy was counting their remaining cannon balls and not liking the results...
President Mohammad Ashraf in his speech at RUSI said the anti-government armed murderous Moslem groups fighting the Afghan government are based in Pakistain from where they stage attacks in Afghanistan.

Earlier, President Ghani asked Pakistain to take actions against the Taliban and Haqqani network leadership councils based in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
