In Iraq, General David Petraeus, the former commander of US forcs in Iraq, was praised for bringing Sunni tribal leaders into the fight against al-Qaeda.

As the commander of Africa, the Middle East and most of Asia, Petraeus is going to oversee a similar policy in Afghanistan with its tribal fighters.

In the province of Paktia the local government has been given $2m by the US to support the tribal groups battles with the Taliban.

yeh he cant compare the native indians to taliban because the native indians didnt have a strong resistance like them... so get your knowledge right

Even if America was able to send the whole world to fight the Taliban, they'd still lose. All this will do will make more Afghans support the Taliban, and more people will openly join the Taliban, and yet again, NATO will look like idiots.

@ArtificialRed1083 Get your US drones out of our country and maybe I will blow your house down you redneck piece of shit. Go fuck your sister like your redneck white trash brothers. If our religious is bullshit, why is Islam the fastest growing religion in the world? We have followers all over the east hemisphere from north Africa to southeast Asia. Our country defeated the Soviets and we kicked the British out of south Asia so you are a fucking idiot, go educate yourself. Pakistan=superpower.

@Mr1pashtun America is physically occupying Afghanistan not Pakistan.other thing is Pakistan is much stronger and prosperous then Afghanistan in every aspect like militarily and economy check my profile. we are only one Islamic nuclear power and we are proud for it. Pakistan may be not very old but we belongs to old Indus civilization. by the way who cars fucking history except afghans.

[Mr1pashtun]

@zubair80ahmad I didn't get it- are you an Ameican to be so proud of that country? America roles your country too my bro, the difference is that you accept it with pleasure, Afghans did not. I am not talling that Afghanistan is advanced, but nor is your country. At least we have the histrory to be proud of, what do you have?

[zubair80ahmad]

@Mr1pashtun Superpower America has not long history but now he is ruling Afghanistan. Mongols , Romans, Greeks, Barbers and many other have much bright and strong history compare to your stone age Afghanistan but in present they are nothing. this era is era of science technology and economy not horses and swords. afghans are living in the fantasy world.

[Mr1pashtun]

@zubair80ahmad  The value of history, is that it teaches us what people have done and thus what people are. Also, Sigmund Freud said, "Only a good-for-nothing is not interested in his past."
