Karzais Office Rejects Receiving Proposal from Pakistan | ||
2011-04-26 | ||
[Tolo News] President Karzai's Office on Monday denied having received a proposal from Pakistain consisted of Pak government demands. At a presser President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai ... 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 Pashtunface 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... 's Spokesperson Waheed Omar called the reports claiming Pakistain submitting a proposal to Afghanistan inaccurate.
... Pakistain's erstwhile current prime minister, whose occasional feats of mental gymnastics can be awe-inspiring ... visited Kabul, there were rumours suggesting he submitted a paper to Karzai's Office consisted of demands that could bring Afghan illusory sovereignty under question. Unprecedented issues were discussed during Pak Prime Minister's visit to Kabul which is welcomed by the Afghan government, Mr Omar said. Pakistain's cooperation in Afghan peace talks and boosting the understanding of joint fight against faceless myrmidons in Pakistain were the pivotal topics discussed during the visit. "We hope that Pakistain takes some practical steps about peace and stability in the region," Mr Omar said. "Pakistain has not submitted any suggestion related to Afghan domestic issues and it won't be accepted if it ever suggests." Things discussed between Kabul and Islamabad will also be discussed with the United States, Mr Omar said. Long term strategic partnership agreement between Afghanistan and the US beyond 2014 has turned into a dominant discourse nowadays. Mr Omar said national interests, regional concerns and establishment of a long-term relation with the US and Western nations will be considered in the US-Afghan strategic agreement. | ||

#2 Not so much a "proposal" as a "demand"... |

#1 In past, the Perv government offered to close off the border between the two countries, except for major crossings, and Karzai adamantly refused it. While it would not have been airtight, it would have the classical "wall" effect, which would have strongly inhibited the Taliban. As with Hadrian's wall, and the Great Wall of China, the purpose of such walls is not to keep invading armies out, but to slow down fast moving raiding parties, that swoop in, pillage, and run away before they can be counterattacked. Karzai's opposition to this clearly indicates that his sympathies lie with the Taliban, and that was at least six years ago. Otherwise, the only way to subdue the Pushtun is for Pakistan to annex southern Afghanistan and their cross border tribal territories. |
