[OneIndia] The withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan resulting in the Pakistain-backed Taliban
...Arabic for students ...
taking control of the country has created an extremely dangerous situation in South Asia, a former national security advisor has told politicians, PTI reported.
"I think it's an extremely dangerous situation in South Asia broadly. ...I do think that it is in China's interest, right? That the Pak government and army go after these jihadist groups less selectively.

It's also in the interest obviously of security and stability across South Asia," Gen (rtd) H R McMaster told members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee during a Congressional hearing on Afghanistan.
"One of the greatest dangers I think would be India suffering this kind of cycle of sectarian violence that you see across the greater Middle East. That could be incited by some of these groups like, you know, al-Qaeda and Lashkar-e-Taiba
...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned , always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI...
," McMaster said.
Former US Ambassador to Afghanistan, Ryan Corker said that the Chinese have created their own vulnerability with their repression of their Moslem population, the Uyghurs in the west.
"So, they have got a strong incentive to use some pressure that they have on Pakistain, to bring about a better result than we've seen so far," he said.
Former State Department Deputy Secretary Richard Armitage told politicians that Pakistain provided food, sustenance, and everything else to the Taliban.
"I'm speaking specifically of ISI, that culminated in the fact that the late Osama bin Laden
 ...... who is now beyond all cares and woe......
was living in Abbottabad
... A pleasant city located only 30 convenient miles from Islamabad. The city is noted for its nice weather and good schools. It is the site of Pakistain's military academy, which was within comfortable walking distance of the residence of the late Osama bin Laden....
for so long, not fathomable that the Paks didn't know about it," he said.
"I would be extraordinarily disappointed if I knew there was an agreement that the Paks embedded with the Talibs would be allowed to escape. However,
there's more than one way to stuff a chicken...
that is not saying that there weren't Paks embedded. Sultan Amir Imam was the chief trainer of the Taliban, and I knew him for a number of years. He's been killed by, ironically enough, an hard boy group," Armitage said.
McMaster said the world and the US is in a more dangerous situation than they were on September 10, 2001.
"The reason we're not seeing attacks like 9/11 are because of our defensive capabilities that we've developed, I think. But these groups are growing stronger," he said.
Jihadist terrorist organizations are not only growing larger in numbers, more confident, and richer, they are also becoming more destructive, McMaster said.
"Our humiliating withdrawal left bandidos murderous Moslems with billions of dollars of weapons. Those weapons will be shared among the over 20 US-designated terrorist organizations in the terrorist ecosystem across Afghanistan and Pakistain," he said.
"Because some of those groups have already turned against the nuclear-armed Mighty Pak Army and government, it is not difficult to imagine bandidos murderous Moslems gaining access to the most destructive weapons on Earth," McMaster said.
"It is for these reasons that, I believe, our self-defeat in Afghanistan and our broader disengagement from the fight against jihadist bandidos murderous Moslems internationally in recent months has made jihadist bandidos murderous Moslems more dangerous today than they were on 10 September 2001."
We are already witnessing the political dimension of our lost war, from Tehran to Moscow to Beijing to Pyongyang, our adversaries are emboldened and our friends and allies doubt that we are trustworthy," he said.
Corker said Paks consistently gave safe haven to the Taliban.
"Some of its most nefarious elements lie. As they said it to me, it's their narrative, we know you're going to walk out one day. You walked out on us after the Soviet defeat. You'll walk out on us again. And we will not be left with the Taliban as our mortal enemy," he said.
"So, they probably had 15 minutes of high-fiving as events proved them right, that we would go. But only 15 minutes because they're scared. But the Taliban's so-called victory has fueled Islamic murderous Moslems everywhere, and certainly in Pakistain, where the Pak-Taliban aim to overthrow the government in Islamabad, not in Kabul," Corker said.
"I understand there is already a conversation underway as the Paks try to address a greatly enhanced threat to their own stability and security as the Taliban hold increases and the Taliban message flows through the entire Islamic world where hard boy groups feel emboldened. So how we got there is important," said the former US diplomat.
