You sir, seem like a fantastically honest and skilled Politician. I only wish I could have seen the rest of your video where you questioned Mrs. Rice, she squirmed for an entire 7 minutes..I would have liked to see how long she could keep it going for.

"Using and perverting their religion to motivate their followers" Well, God bless America - I guess we are still British - We supposedly left England to get away from this kind of religious terrorism, while now we go global perpetuating it

If USA would deal with the problem that they have created they would have to spend at least trillions of dollars to do so. So please stop saying that US is giving Pak billions to combat this nasty situation that was funded by the US. Sounds hilarious to be honest. Anyways, May God help Pakistan in these circumstances that were created by someone else and now Pak is having to deal with them.

[SunniTerrorists]

Agreed, But the problem that US is now trying to deal with was created by themselves. They only looked at the temporaray benefits of creating Taliban and put loads of other countries into trouble. Now, It's extremely dangerous for a country like Pak to combat this because for the Pak army, Taliban are hiding behind the Pakistani people. And It's not easy to find them out ensuring the safety of the Pakistani people as well.

But the problems they are trying to deal with were created by themselves. Logically, they should be the ones to get rid of them not a nation like Pakistan who doesnt really if the Talibans are hiding behind it's own Nationals? It would really be extremely difficult for Pak armi to get rid of the problem that was actually funded by the US.

We are trying to deal with the problems it's not that easy when you have nations who promise to help you like Pakistan not helping you. This new administration is trying to do the right thing but it's not as easy or as black and white as people might think it is.

[matchstick626]

Pakistan has to step up to the plate. We pay them billions of dollars a year for counter terrorism and they don't use that money to do the job they are asked to do. This is money they are saving to do a job they will have to do eventually, the U.S. just pays for it so it's not blaming Pakistan it's asking them to step up and do what needs to be done for their safety and for the safety for many in the region including our own intrests. Remember they have nuclear weapons they need to protect.

[SunniTerrorists]

So in a nutshell, USA doesnt want to deal with the problem they have created themselves. Shame on them for blaming others for the terrorism in this world.
