| Is Pakistan preparing to get out of US war on terrorism? |
| 2013-05-07 |
| After having sacrificed over $85 billion and more than 50,000 lives in the US war on terror, Pakistan is now finally preparing to get out of Washington’s war. Political differences apart, both the PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif and his hot contender for the post-May 11 government, PTI’s Imran Khan, have made it clear that Pakistan would be driven out of the 12-year-old “war on terror”. Both the political leaders, in their separate statements, have unambiguously rejected the policy of use of force and military operations against the local Taliban to check extremism and curb terrorism. Instead, they have openly supported initiating dialogue with the local Taliban. The two top contestants for the future premiership have conveyed their “no” to the war on terror.Imran Khan has repeatedly pledged during his ongoing election campaign that if he came into power he would get Pakistan out of war on terror. On the issue of drone attack, Khan took an aggressive stance by announcing that under his rule the drones would be shot down if found violating Pakistan’s sovereignty. |

| #5 Washington's war or ISI's war? Seems a lot of the fuel that is dumped on the jihadist flames come from ISI. Yep, all of those bombs and drive by shootings in Karachi are definitely caused by our presence in Afghanistan. Pakistanarchy is a wreck and becoming a poster child for Islamic paradise, much as California is a glimpse of liberal paradise in the US. |
