    Talks with Taliban bolstered by Pakistan support
    Dallas Sun
    Friday 12th March, 2010  


    Afghanistan has praised Pakistan's offer to help mediate with the Taliban.
    Negotiations between Afghanistan and Taliban leaders are advancing.

    Pakistan has pledged its support to the reconciliation negotiations, a move welcomed by Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

    Pakistan and Afghanistan wrapped up two days of meetings on Thursday during which the talks with Taliban officials were a major discussion point. Karzai and Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani led the talks.

    At a press conference following the meetings the Afghan leader said, "I am thankful to you, Mr. Prime Minister, for offering support to Afghanistan's efforts for reconciliation. Indeed, Pakistan has a significantly important role to play in that and Afghanistan will welcome that role."

    "We in Afghanistan are fully aware and recognize that without Pakistan, and without its cooperation in Afghanistan, Afghanistan cannot be stable or peaceful," Karzai said.

    Pakistan is credited with creating the Taliban and assisting it to take control of the country after the chaos that followed the Soviet withdrawal.

    Mr.Hamid Karzai,please be wise.

    Pakistan should never be allowed to participate in these talks between Taliban and Afghan govt.The welcoming of this move by President Hamid Karzai is understandable as he too is protege of USA.We know that he has welcomed this move by Pakistan only at the behest of USA.But then Hamid Karzai is the leader of Afghanistan, and he cannot afford to be foolish.He should keep Pakistan away from these talks and instead involve China and Russia and India in his talks with Taliban.Only then can Afghans have hope and see peace. Be brave Mr.Hamid Karzai.You have got nothing to lose.

    Afghanistan gets Pakistan on board for Taliban reconciliation.

    (R) 2012 DAN QUAYLE Presidential Foreign Policy & Affairs / Obama’s Afghanistan War: Very well, it seems like Pakistan has got the point that since US Obama-Biden administration and Gordon Brown administration has turned Pakistani civilians into the “live-or-let died” situation now, Pakistan is suffering their daily life threat pretty badly becuase Obama and Obama’s left-arm man Stanley McChrystal’s heroism. Yes, this is a starting point to negotiate the 2012 US DAN QUAYLE Presidential campaign for “2009-2012 CEASE-FIRE With Taliban”, other than the “fulfillment” and “the After” Obama’s 18-month timeline of seesaw combat with Taliban. Afghanistan should keep in mind that the 2013 US President DAN QUAYLE’s White House will and could consider to make ARREST the outlaw Afghan President Hawid Karzai administration and cabanet’s Opium/Heroin production and trafficking for Taliban’s farms and al-Qaeda partnership. The 2013 US DAN QUAYLE administration and Russia’s President Dmitry Medvedev are still possible to joint-law enforcement to use B-52 and Black Hawk copter military to crackdown the Afghanistan’s Opium and illegal drug operations, just like DAN QUAYLE had the anti-Cocain mission experience to hit Panama before when the H.W. Bush-Quayle administration - the TOTALLY straight out by Republican leadership.

    Pakistan is a Neighbours, most sacrificed country

    Pakistan is the only country who sacrificed most during this war as well as last 35 years of Afghan War.When Soviet Union Friend of India attacked on Afghanistan. Pakistan helped Afghans. Pakistan hosted 4 Million Afghanis for 3 decades. Pakistan have every right to protect its interests in the region. Pakistan have a crucial role to stabilize Afghanistan and the whole Region. USA and European countries now started to realised Pakistan’s Role. India have taken advantage of it and done nothing except tried to create unstability in Pakistan through Afghanistan. This is the reason India have no role in Afghanistan.

    Afghanistan allowed Pakistan before in Afghanistan’s affair, today we are witnessing the result of that. all Taliban and Al-qiada leaders found Pakistan to be a safe house for them. (they are safeguarded by ISI) Pakistani gov. is back stabber and deceiver, in order to gain monetary fund from USA and also Al-qiada Arabs. Real Afghan never trust Pakistan.

    I agree with the above comment. Now we are locating the Taliban and al-Qaeda leaders in Pakistan NOT Afghanistan. Because they were safeguarded by Pakistani gov.

    Double dealing comes to light. Agreed.

    Think back to when this Afghan shit started. (All those sacked generals) Pakistan is more involved than most know.

    Paksitan Still Hosting 2.5 Million Afghani's - Thanks

    Mostly here comments shows jelousy with Pakistan instead of sensible comments. Get some information. Whole world now realized that without Pakistan they can’t defeat Terrorists. I am not saying this, you can read newspapers and see on media. All above comments about Islam have no base. Also Millions of none Muslims are converting to Muslim very fast when they read teachings of Islam and also Quran. Even lots of propaganda agaisnt Islam on media Islam is now spreading more faster than ever.
