Pakistan and the War on Terrorism - Husain Haqqani

[smq192]

Have fun indians! you don't know what we are capable of! Insha'Allah we'll prove to be a great nation when the right time comes... We can just hope for peace for Pakistan and India... thats the difference in our thinking :) Why do you people ignore the facts behind the terrorism going on in the world? please open your minds and think logically and research on such issue and come to know the core reasons behind all these stuff. May be its a third party responsible for the terrorism globally...

[TheLuqman]

Fuck you americans. You fear from muslims.

[TimeGod12]

The relationship between Pakistan and terrorism is that of Parent and child.

[harj2009]

@TimeGod12 u must be confusing pakistan with the CIA.India trained terrorist such as Tamil Tigers.CIA backed terrorist operate all over the world.this ambassador gave 2000 visas to us contractors who go around killing people and giving weapons to terrorist.Pakistan has a US puppet goverment. Pakistan is committed to fight Al Qaeda, but it doenst trust usa to look after its regional interest after all america dumped pak in the 1990s left with 2 million afghan refugees and a failed neighbour state

[TimeGod12]

@harj2009 India has learnt its lessons, Pakistan has NOT.

Why would Pakistan fight its own people. Al Qaeda has alot of Pakistani people in their organization?

The only regional interest Pakistan has is to sell nuclear weapons to Iran, North Korea and destroy democratic India with nukes.

[harj2009]

@TimeGod12 just a few months ago the Sri Lanka pm said india was helping Tamil Tigers. Al Qaeda has nothing to do with pak and they are not pakistani. none of 9/11 bombers were pakistani, al qaeda has declared war against pakistan. how fucking dumb ur statement ?? do u know how many civilians die in terror attack we dont support Al Qaeda. Pakistan Interest is not to have indian proxy govt in afghanistan.iran likes india more than pak get ur facts straight

[TimeGod12]

@harj2009 Read the statements given by Tahaweer Rana(Pakistani Canadian) about how Pakistan government supports exporting terrorists across the world.

Al-Qaeda are descendants of Mujahideen and guess who nurtured Mujahideen. The Pakistanis did.

You can spout your pro-pakistani nonsense but the global community has all the evidence that points out that Pakistan government and army supports and funds terrorism.

[harj2009]

@TimeGod12 There are plenty of people who spin the neocon lie it doenst matter if he is pakistani or non pakistan.Plenty of American understand how the system works.

pakistan like America,Egypt and Saudi Arabia helped create the taliban , Bin Laden was a key CIA asset. If Bin Laden went rouge america is as much to blame as everyone else. Al Qaeda and Mujahideen are two parallel organisation. The Taliban run afghanistan , al qaeda just use it as a safe haven

[harj2009]

@TimeGod12 you obviously didnt read the part where I say like 10 times pakistan no longer supports the taliban and has captured hundreds of al qaeda

your neocon supremacist bullshit is b-o-r-i-n-g, no body believes any of the cias bullshit attempt to make pakistan the cambodia of the vietnam war. You are such an idiot if you think any pakistan public money goes to taliban

anyway what you think is not important.the global community my arse just some has been empires and us of KKK

[Broadcaster17]

...it is immature to consider Pakistan to be the only source of the issue and blaming the burden of on the civilians who spend more than half of their time making a hard earning and the rest with their families. I don't think they have enough time to make bombs or even judge other nations about their terrorist affiliations. To be more precise, i think Pakistanis are more mature and educated.

[Broadcaster17]

...more than 8 terrorists along with their nationalities. BBC reported in a period of time, those so-called terrorists called the news channel from their home countries producing proof from Police reports that their passports had been stolen during their stay in the US. The american authorities then "apologized" and said it was a mistake. Hell mistake, don't you think they need to be held responsible for such uninformed and sudden claims?....

[Broadcaster17]

When 9 11 first took place, they were quick at pointing fingers towards Pakistan. Without question, a huge responsibility was put over Pakistan which it was required to justify. Yet when the CIA at the 9 11 crash site mentioned they found a passport of a terrorist (God knows how this guy knew it didn't belong to some passenger) out of a pile of burnt debris where no human had survived, the media questioned it, they never justified their claim. And yet again, they mentioned the names of...

[Broadcaster17]

The Enemy will never eat at your home, nor will he support something that benefits the world at large.

Pakistan fought against the Soviet Invasion alongside NATO, now it is fighting against Terrorists at the west border. Do you think it is for selfish interests that Pakistan is doing this? Then again, when someone in Mumbai pulls a blast, you dump it over Pakistan. Not to mention, the involvement of secret agencies is always overlooked. Why? Maybe because that is the core problem.

[amitgo123]

Have you read history of Islamic conquest of South Asia or studied the genocidal and fascist education against Hindus in Pakistan? Kashmir valley will become autonomous soon but that will not change the reality of hate driven culture of Pakistan.

[mitshan4u]

best way f destroy terrorism= buy a bomb (plenty in porki market) n blast urself

[payot]

Pakistan hides terrrorist hoping they would use them in another pointless war with India.

[kenindia84]

Kar sewaks are the hindu extrimist group , extremist doesn't means they go to Pakistan by boats and kill innocent people there Mind it. So agitating and killing them means there was something they really owed. Now I have been to Gujarat , many frnds were there who saw "Paki" flags up in Muslim houses before the Guj Incidence and I think Gujatrat Govt did some unconventional but effective way to moderate the situation. Dont blame CNN and BBC go and check whats happening.

[sarmadhassan]

@kenindia84 The irony is, when it comes to Indians, a handful of extremists do not represent india, but when it comes to Pak two brainwashed taliban will represent the whole 180 million?, watch?v=ZJ9aa9UrO2A "hindus dont support extremism" If you don't call this extremism, I pity you. By the way I have alot of good Hindu friends, and Indian friends who unlike you see people representing themselves and not a whole nation.

[kenindia84]

@sarmadhassan I am really laughing on you. The video shows the 13 yr old girl reciting a poem addressing to some VHP / kar sewaks does that bothers you even its against pak ??? Then I can send millions of links where people who are supposed to be responsible are acting like fanatics speaking against India. Its not the issue these people keep on doing this in both your country and ours. But how many of these people carry Ak's and go to your cities and kill innocent ???

[sarmadhassan]

@kenindia84 you arent getting the point are you? and who will count the people carrying aks? Nexalites communist extremists are active in 40% does that make whole india extremist or should I consider any indian extremist? why don't you see people individually rather than calling whole nation as 'terrorist'.. It might be an upcoming Indian media trend which sells. I dono !

[kenindia84]

@sarmadhassan I am so sorry that we are not on the same platform , you give only one answer those people who killed innocents both Hindus and Muslim , do you not believe they are from Pakistan ??? Kasab is not from pakistan ??? Phone tapped were not from pakistan karachi ??? Now you gave me a 13 yr old girl saying non sence but I can give you 1 hr of documentary on people wo did 36 /11 I bet if you have guts speak up then ??? pak Govt has now accepted but doing nothing. Be the change man !!!

[sarmadhassan]

@kenindia84 who said mumbai wasnt planned inside Pak? kasab was pakistani, and the attack had its support from ISI ofcourse., what I am trying to say is secret agencies have a different game plan altogether... the attack was most probably to sabotage kashmir resolution which both sides where very close to sort out. India have its own plans in Afghan, baloch, pakistani tribal region.. both sides play their dice tht doesnt mean whole nation is terrorist which you guys trying to portray

[kenindia84]

@sarmadhassan Are mere dost I am not trying to Portray India has its own problem , pakistan has its own !!! But Naxalite are not Fucking pakistan they are not going to pakistan and attack their parliament !!! We hare common people in india saw more attack from Pak , our Extrmist group are very different than that of Pak. Evereyone wants peace is'nt it ??? Poor people in the Villages of either pak or India dont think about Indo - Pak relation they think about their own problem only.

[veracious19]

Thank God we are in no way similar to these ugly indians, they bloody stink..yuck yuck........ Pakistan Zindabad, Long Live Pakistan, we will nuke the poorest and the dirtiest country very soon :p

[clazza01]

death to all muslims

[amitgo123]

Pakistani culture has degraded into lies, violence and paranoi. Do Indian extremist come to Lahore and blow up people and hotels? Do Indian extremists attack Pakistanis? Reality is that Pakistanis treat non-muslim lives as worthless and have a distorted victim mentality even though their country is the most murderous in the world.

[qualquan]

@amitgo123

Should'nt India stop terrorizing the Muslim Kashmiris and heed the numerous UN resolutions against India? That is the main reason for the India-Pakistan conflict. That is the elephant in the room which cannot be swept under the carpet.

[kizlmynizl]

@amitgo123 Reality, my friend, is that people like you are a part of the problem and not the solution!

[amitgo123]

@kizlmynizl Looks like I touched a chord with my insight into Pakistani identity. It is based on hatred of India and Hindus and without addressing such a core cultural issue, solutions can't be found.

[Broadcaster17]

@amitgo123 And neither do Indians support the Pakistanis against the terrorists so quit trying to make yourself look like the good guy. Maybe you should hear what other countries have to say about us:

youtube.com/watch?v=cBbWoG8jIv­0&feature=fvst (1:44)

[deardad]

Sorry to say that this respected "asshole" is over-simplifying the situation. He did not speak a word about external forces trying to exploit these taliban/militants for their vested interests. It is the time to bring the truth in front of world and that's one of his jobs and he is not doing it well enough.

[oldlahore1857]

BeNazir, sorry to say sir, is not at all "much loved in Pakistan". She was a fiend, and have turned no stone in tarnishing the impression of Pakistan in the world. This man, Haqqani, is also not less than a conman of PPP.

[cssbeast]

this guy sounds like a taliban tbh....

[azmarai77]

India should stop sending money to the taliban.

The insurgency in Nagaland is India's version of the Taliban.

The fact that more girls are killed each year in india than are actually born so that the families don't have to live with the liability of girls is another aspect India should actively look into.

Maybe the fact that India is coming apart at the seams due to poverty and a bursting population problem out of which 700 million are living below the poverty line.

[sandyzcool27]

If India starts taking suggestions from Pakis like you, we know what we will end up with. We have better things to do ...

[chandnichowk]

What fucking India doing in kashmir? We paid huge price to war against terror..whe have been fighting and will be against till last against talibans or supporter of talibans whether they are pakistani or indians spies...more than 15 consulates are working in afghanistan at the moment lolz there is no life..what they re doing? think about that...................

[streeetfighter]

Hey Good Speech.. But Wait a Minute!

-What about the ISI Funding, Training & Setting missions against India?

-What about the Terrorist Groups & Rallies carried Openly in Pakistan with much Public & Authority Support?

-How about the Hate Preached in Madrasas & Even School Syllabus all over Pakistan?

-How come people like Dawood, Azhar Masood & Possibly Osama feel safest hiding in Pakistan?

"Only a Minority of Pakistanis are Involved or Support Terrorism???"

SORRY I DON'T BUY THAT !

[famalikhan911]

i dont understand why u indians crying all the time about ISI and others....we never says abt raw tht who is funding them to help afghanistani trib leaders to do sucide attack in pakistan....

[sarmadhassan]

hey good comment.. but wait a minute!

-What about in numerable Indian council generals doing right along side pak afghan border?

-What about slitting up women in Gujrat and the same accused become Gujrat's government?

-How about the hate preached among bajrang dal as they enjoy muslims getting throat slit.

-How come people like Colonel Prohit are not only safe in India but are employed in Indian Army?

"Nice to have guys on youtube who just follow what thenewyorktimes and cnn is blabbering"

[streeetfighter]

1. US is There, Red X is there, UNO is there, Terrorists are there.. Why not

2. Yea.. Gujrat again.. pakistanis only remember gujrat about India

Little they know about how it all began, Who started and what has been happening for 2 decades in and around the region

I as an Indian am ashamed of what happened in Gujrat... Thats where we're different

3. Ask Indian Mslms how they like living in India

4. Purohit is jailed.. India Investigates not just to fake it to the world

[kenindia84]

@sarmadhassan Don't think that the CNN only is blabbering because you are Muslim , Go and see how authentic "Pak media reports are ". Gujarat is much discussed by pakistani people little that they know who actually started the whole mess , hindus dont support extrimism and for god sake don't call India as a "Hindu " state I have god damn neighbor who share the same state , Country , law , freedom and are Muslin , sikh , Chistans. This makes you more ignorant than the west.

[Indiansailor]

Shut up ...........Pakis are Terrorist

[rashidaq]

to some are liberators like the early christians in Rome were considered traitors

and with that excuse many christians were massacred,

[MrLover18778]

@Indiansailor hahahahahahahahahahahahaha you are a looser i guess u dont know something if Pakistan stops figting against terrorism than terrorists will take over Pakistan and then attack your shit country full of retards india

[jilani111]

@Indiansailor u r scared ,,,

[chand145]

@Indiansailor yeah fuck pakistan

[rizwank1]

boys and girls. google 'missing links'

[okee7]

"Talibanization is actively fought", my ass! Pakistanis are creators of Taliban and cannot forgo terrorism. It would undermine its leverage against India with who its incapable of waging a conventional war.

[bruno937]

With help of America ofcourse. A very important fact you fialed to mention. Americans created this monster.

[usnadi]

slick bastard.

paks are not doing anything and should be declared world enemy no.1

[dreamdestinations]

Is not the refusal of the Pakistan Government--whether of Pervez Musharraf or Asif Ali Zardari-- to arrest the operatives of the LET and close their camps despite an ostensible ban on it evidence enough?

[dreamdestinations]

What more evidence do the Americans want?

[dreamdestinations]

What evidence did they have when Ronald Reagan ordered the bombing of Libya in 1986 after an explosion in a West Berlin discotheque, which killed some Americans?

What evidence did they have before Bill Clinton ordered the Cruise missile attacks on jihadi training camps in Afghan territory in August,1998?

[asim622]

Let me tell you one thing more....In Islam is strictly prohibited to blow oneself up, aur suicide, according to Islamic rules and law one who blows him/her self up, will go straight to hell...open your eys and read once again what i wrote in this msg...Muslim religion condem Suicide....so stop blaming all this.....who ever blows up in Pakistan is not Muslim 100% ....So find out who is that MF who is jeopardising Pakistan...Thank you

[dreamdestinations]

What evidence did they have against Al Qaeda and the Taliban before they bombed Afghanistan from October 7,2001?

What evidence did they have against the Saddam Hussain Government before they invaded and occupied Iraq in 2003?

[asim622]

I want to tell you somthing. War against Terrorism, Pakistan alone has suffered most, countless Suicide bombs been blasted in busy cities of Pakistan, thousands of mothers lost thier beloved and educated kids, wifes lost husband...University students are confused, cuz you never know which square is going to blow up!we enjoy this?? Taliban is America's baby, they should take it back home, and let Pakistan be at peace, Stop Muslims bad bad bad, despite all Muslims never said a word abt Christians.

[gazzalli]

those terrorists were hindus probaly.its not proven they were muslims.of course filthy peoples have made great lies and attempts against islam and pakistan.america and israel has in this war alone killed more than a 100,000 children not 2 mention vietnam and world war 1 and 2 and a few western foreigners or americans die and its unjust?and gazas holocaust not?sudan?congo?vietnam?KASMIR­?COLOMBIA ALL NOT?muslims must stand up 2 oppressers then the dajjal willemerge.glory 2 islamic republic of iran

[gazzalli]

war on terrorism is fake.america is the biggest terrorist so why not war urselfs oppressors!islam allows and obligates stand up 2 oppressers.islam gave enlightenment2 muslim world while europeans climbed up trees.inshallah well fight the real terrorists and morally corrupt!islam will be4ever and american elite even wants americans gone now!russia,china,turkey and iran will have glory against transgressors!

[frisianmouve]

I'm sad to hear so many people say bad things about Islam. Yes, the most muslims want peace and the west has to be there to help them fight for peace. Yes, the media is covering too many stories of terrorism while you never hear about regular muslims suffering from it everyday. Please read a book about this region of which you think all people of the region are mindlessly supporting terrorism, I suggest Out of Iraq by Lewis Alsamari or the kite runner by Khaled Hosseini.

[sugarpuddin88]

Gimme a break!

This is Indias fake 911

Other countries are catching on to Americas scheme!

The Mumbai terror attacks were part of a carefully planned & coordinated operation involving several teams of experienced and trained gunmen.

The op has the fingerprints of a paramilitary-intelligence operation.

Mumbai terrorists used the same tactics that Chechen field militants employed in the Northern Caucasus attacks where entire towns were terrorized, with homes and hospitals seized

[USAJuly4th1776]

I cannot wait to hear the Muslims and far-left commies claiming that the Mumbai Attacks were "an inside job."

[sugarpuddin88]

The gullibility of Americans is without end!

You seriously believe in Al-Qaeda on amphetamines! Indias fake 911

Lashkar-e-Tayyiba operates with Pakis military ISI, which works closely with CIA, (they literally appoint the ISI Chief & have more control over them than the Paki government)

At least one of the attackers was British!

The US media indelibly serves the interests of the US intelligence apparatus

[USAJuly4th1776]

You suck!

[chris3443]

The war on terrorism is BULLSHIT

[simplybornhuman]

The problem is ISLAM. These attacks will always reoccur, as they always have, It is pointless fighting a few, while the whole all believe and follow the cause.

[ubuibiok]

Do you thing the Taliban can exist in Pakistan without high Level Military support?

Do you really think so...Know this then, President George W Bush secretly approved orders in July that for the first time allow American Special Operations forces to carry out ground assaults inside Pakistan without the prior approval of the Pakistani government...Guess Why !

[TECHKLEC]

My guess is that the Pakastanis have not been very effective in dealing with it on their own.. Perhaps they have been preoccupied with Kashmir and India to deal with the rogue nature of the northwest area properly.

[USAJuly4th1776]

I agree that the images that we see are always the most extreme and negative ones through the media. Same thing happens in Iraq, it is the very nature of the medium that is television and the press in general... sensationalism is inflaming passions. Yet there is also manipulation and censorship going on in politically militant media, which is 90% liberal, we saw the double standard at play during the Obama election, which undermines American democracy.

Jihad is mostly an Islamic civil war.

[simplybornhuman]

Islamic - Civil ? is that an oxymoron?

Islamics have always been like this, the cause it their religion.

[prognost]

I'm wondering if there's a good analysis of how well Pakistan is doing in its fight against terrorism that doesn't come from the mouth of a Pakistani government official. Not that I'm calling him dishonest, I just want a full picture from different sources. Anyone know of a good source for this kind of thing?
