Real Pashtuns are people of their word, and once they give word they follow up on it even at the cost of their life while Karzai is not a Pashtun by any measure.

Re: # 23
As long as not amalgamated by Indo-conspiracies as usual.
They already have numerous consulate offices in every village of Afghanistan and are quite active in fueling fires.

In as much as Karzai is concerned he definitely fears for his own seat after the departure of Bush & Co.
Once again he will have to come back to his original profession in the US of A flipping burgers in a restaurant he & his brother ran in Baltimore, Maryland, the threat is real and over the last several years he has become acclimated to all the luxuries he has access to not to mention the US Army as well as the possibility of abandoning the pipeline consturction that was started by UNOCAL and which continues, all those big dollar dividends, how can one see all that disappear right in front of their eyes?

Is the US any safer than what it was immediately after 9/11?------Oh Yessss
The departure of Bush & his control tower operator Chenny and their cronies departure from the white house and the control tower itself would be the biggest guarantee that US and Americans were safe before 9/11, during 9/11 & long after 9/11.
Bush himself is no more than a cattle auctioneer, he hardly has any lingual capabilities, while it is Chenny & his gang that were out there to create a scenario to further their cause which they have been successful with thus far.
The manner in which they deceived the American nation is exemplary in the entire world. They have butchered the entire world to achieve what their primary goal has been and they have been working hard on that since even before coming in power. Chenny & his cronies have been responsible for pushing all the buttons throughout this nasty game they have been playing and continue to play.
Read the details and judge for yourself:

Hamid Khan Karzai the President of Islamic Republic of the great Afghanistan,s press conference in which he hurled threats to hit terrorists operating this side of the Durand line in the areas of Pashtun/Afghans. Those who say that Karzai has no right to hit the terrorists this side of Durand line should open their eyes and listen carefully that Karzai is right to say as he has been waiting for last seven years that security forces of Pakistan have badly failed to control the infiltration of the terrorists across Durand line where the peaceful innocent people of the Afghanistan are being killed ruthlessly for no crime they have committed. President Bush also said that if he were sitting on the place of His Excellency Hamid Khan Karzai, and his people were to be assassinated by the terrorists he would not be able to wait for such a long time. Hamid Khan Karzai has not talked about innocent People to be hit, rather he has talked about the extremist and terrorist forces sitting this side of Durand line and are busy killing innocent Pashtun in Afghanistan by the help of the notorious Pakistani ISI. Hats off to the courage and love of Karzai saeb who talked about the security and safety of the Pashtun/Afghans living this side of Durand line. One should be clear that Karzai saeb is a Pashtun/Afgha and all those living this side of Pashtunkhwa are Pashtun and Afghans. We are proud of Hamid Karzai who has the power today to talk for his people Pashtun/Afghans. The so called Writers should think that today Afghans are not all alone. They have the power and capability to defend their people from attacks of the terrorists. They should also understand that Hamid Karzai is an elected president of the people of Afghanistan who was voted to power not only by the male but famale alike standing in long queues to cast their vote in his favour. The pseudo writers and uncles of the Pakistani establishment and ISI should try to force their government to stop the terrorists across Durand line and provide food to the people in Pakistan. We Pashtun living this side of Durand line even can not think to talk against President Karzai who is the champion of the Pashtun rights and warns terrorists to stop their activities against Pashtun/Afghans. We should also be honest enough to talk honestly that Pakistani security forces and Government have failed to stop the genocide of the Pashtun/Afghans by the hands of the terrorists sitting in safe havens by the assistance of ISI and other clergymen this side of Durand line. Those who issue statements against Karzai do not seem to be Pashtun as Pashtun are of the view that Karzai is the only person who can protectPashtun from further decredation by the hands of terrorists with help of the Punjabi establishment who want to create problems for Afghanistan and Allied forces in Afghanistan. All so called writers listen that Karzai is not against the Pashtun/Afghans living this side of Durand line rather he wants to get Pashtun /Afghans rid off from cruelties and barbarism of the terrorists with the help of Pakistani Punjabi establishent. This is the time of unity and all Pashtun should be aware of the plots and conspiracies hatched against them for their genocide. We are optimist and say once again that Karzai is right in what he says against anti-Pashtun forces and in favour of the Pashtun/Afghans living side of Durand line. The ongoing war against terrorism is fought under the policy of hot pursuit. It is evident from the genocide of Pashtun that Pakistani forces are quite unable to stop anti Pashtun forces from killing of Pashtun/Afghan People. Pakistan is an ally in war and when she is unable then other countries have right to come and save Pashtun/Afghans from the assassination by the hands of the extremist forces. Hamid Karzai is against terrorist forces and wants to save innocent Pashtun. Now those who write against Karzai, they are the pro- terrorist forces and should be dealt as terrorists are being dealt. Long live Pashtun/Afghans
The Pakistani Media has again as usual, mis-quoted the recent statements of President Karzai in which he issued a forceful warning to militants in Pakistan, saying he will send Afghan troops across the border to combat Taliban insurgents. The mis-interpretation of the President's statements is done intentionally by the Pakistani media to provoke the Tribal Pashtuns against their fellow Afghan brethren despite of the fact that President Karzai has been warning Pakistan regarding cross border infiltration of Pakistani religeous and military terrorists into Afghanistan. What President Karzai said in his statement was: 1) That terrorists from Pakistani tribal areas are entering Afghanistan for suicide bombing to target Afghan and ISAF forces. 2) That these Terrorists are [ISI-backed] Taliban whose leader is Baitullah Mehsud or Mulla Umar in Pakistan. 3) That Afghanistan and ISAF forces reserve the right to take the revenge of killings by these Talibans in Afghanistan even if Afghan and NATO forces have to chase them to their houses in the FATA. 4) That Afghanistan is also concerned about the atrocities being committed to Pashtuns in Pakistan. 5) That Afghanistan only trusts ANP among the political parties in Pakistan. It is obvious that if the govt of Pakistan does not take any action against these terrorists entering Afghanistan but rather facilitates and trains them to do these nefarious activities then Afghanistan would feel insecure and it would be compelled to take precautionary measures for her security. Pakistani media is projecting the statement as provocative statement and trying to hide factual position from the world while the statement simply means: 1) That Afghanistan is neither interested to violate the so called sovereignty of Pakistan nor does it want to harm or attack its fellow Pashtun brothers in FATA. 2) That Pakistan is behind the suicide attacks in Afghanistan. 3) That Pakistani agencies are behind the planing and training of the suicide bombers and terrorist. 4) That Pakistan is not sincere to see peace and progress in Afghanistan. 5) That Afghanistan reserves the right to take revenge of all the suicide bombs done by the invisible hands which get activated from FATA – the land of non-local terrorists trained by Pakistani army and agencies with the help of local religious demagogues. Let us unleash the multi-tier terrorists network active in Pakistan under state supervision . It is a well established fact that the Taliban as well as other religious prototype groups are the products of ISI. The statements of Baitullah Mehsud and Mulla Umar of TTP are just the Pashto translation of ISPR's statements regarding Afghanistan and Pakhtoonkhwa. The nomenclature of the terrorist network in Pakistan is as follows: 1) The planning and strategy formation both inside Pakistan (against Pashtuns, Balochis or Sindhis) and outside Pakistan (specially in India and Afghanistan) is done at the GHQ Rawalpindi. 2) The plan is executed by the intelligence agencies (ISI, MI, IB etc) of Pakistan. 3) Depending upon the geopolitical situation of the region, the modus operandi of the terrorist activities is customised accordingly. In Pukhtunkhwa, the religious parties and clerics are bribed to provide "manpower" for the suicide bombs and other terrorist activities while the more technically sensitive operations like killing of political leaders are carried out by the intelligence agencies themselves. Religeous groups like Taliban along with the local criminal elements are guided by the professionals of the intelligence agencies to control the local people through religious authority. The network of Taliban is extended across Pakhtunkhwa naming them local Taliban to be able to hijack the freedom and liberty of the people anytime and to scare the people constantly. Baitullah Mehsud in Waziristan, Mangal Bag in Khyber agency, Fazlullah in Swat, Mulla Omar in Bajaur etc are all the ISI puppets playing with the lives of innocent Pashtuns who have never been conquered with sword but have been falling prey to the authority of religion in history. On top of it all, the military is carrying out operations in the name of war on terror but infact killing all those among the local population who might potentially become a power to reckon with against the designs of the state sponsored terrorist activities and hegemony of Punjab dominated Pakistan army. In Afghanistan, there is peace in all those cities that are bordering other neighboring countries except Pakistan. It is the border with Pakistan which has been experiencing political unrest and insurgency due to Taliban. The Talibans in Afghanistan – who were the product of ISI in the early 90's - are under the complete control of Pakistani agencies and plotting plans to destabilise Afghanistan in every possible manner. Pakistani agencies export experts and expertise to the Taliban in Afghanistan via FATA. The same notorious agencies are propagating against the ISAF forces to deceive the world media on one hand and motivate the local population for "Jihad" on the other in order to justify its anti-Afghan activities. It is therefore suggested that the world community should pressurise Islamabad so that it stop its interference in the internal affairs of its neighbouring contries specially Afghanistan. A stable Afghanistan is in the best interest of Pakistan as Afghanstan is the gateway for all the trade routes to central Asia. Based on an ambiguous state ideology and having no roots and bonds of integrity among the various nationalities, Pakistan is already on the brink of another collapse due to the prevalent system of injustice and exploitation and therefore is fastly loosing its chances of survival.

{"Harishbhai,
Our PM is a puppet too.
Regards "}

MAJ Bhai,
You are so right about that one. One of the compelling reasons for Mushy to bend over for Bushy was the spectacle of Swifty Vajpayee doing the can can for the Americans with his dhoti lifted all the wap up to his lips.

{"It may not make much sense to President Karzai but he should understand that blindly towing the line of the US is not good for the fragile peace and stability of the region. In the long run, it is also not in the interest of Afghanistan that is connected to Pakistan with ethnic, cultural and geographical bonds."}

Naqvi Sahib,
Very well-written article with some sound advice for the colorful Karzai. How soon has he forgotten his debt to the land that provided shelter and aid to him and his people during the Communist occupation! Does he remember that India never opposed that Soviet invasion of Afaghanistan?
