Reply to that/ As for as the comments are needed about the New American Policy on Afghansitan so i would like to add that the deployment of troops is in Southern and Eastern Afghanistan which can cause the terrorists to move towards our land.. First of all Pakistani government should convey the message to Afghanistan that till Pakistani troops are engaged in South Waziristan Agency and Swat so till then the American troops shouldn't operate in Southern and Eastern part thenafter the victory of Pakistan in the said areas Pakistani troops will cope up the situation in better way.. Thank you

I agree with Zamaray KHan... n one thing more our sovergnty n intehrty shuld b safeguarded in all da cases... n V shld try to get rid of terrorism but U.s shuld not use us just for her own selfish national interst.. If v r helping dem in their war den they shul also help us to develop n prosper.... May ALlah save Pakistan.... Long live ma dear LAND...

in international relations there are no permanent friends or enemies...... these are only the interests which lead the foreign policy...... so there is no need of rejoicing over the new US policy. the main thing is that Pakistan is not in the position to even put their view point on the table in front of US..... our FM wants US for at least 5 years more in the region..... and Mr. B.H.Obama indicated something else.
the first thing is to make our selves in the bargaining position only then we can have our national interests safe guarded. the new US policy is as much fatal and dangerous for Pakistan as the previous one. In his speech Mr. Obama did not give any hint regarding socio economic development of the region. nor there is any hint about controlling the drug traffic.and one thing more no clear cut message for India to curtail its activities in the bordering areas of Pakistan. on the other hand there is clear message for Pakistani nukes. what are we negotiating with them i cant understand.
what can we expect from Obama, who is cler cut saying that the AlQuaida is now in pakistan.
he also criticized Hamid Karzai for his inefficiency but contradicting what he has said he accepted his farad elations and gave a green signal to his unpopular government. again there is a contradiction, on the one hand he is saying the Hamid Karai should end the corruption and on the on the other hand he is also supporting the corrupt as if there is only one person who can be afghan president. rather he was taking cradit for arranging elections there.
one thing which was regarded as a positive step forward was the date for the pull out but dashing al the hopes to the ground, R.Gates secretary of defense said that this date can be changed and should not be thought as fixed. and what else is left????
one thing that is a clear indication of US intentions is"" OUR SECURITY IS AT STAKE IN AFGHANSTAN AND PAKISTAN"" US does not cares about what happens to the security of Pakistan, rather their security is at stake here. agreed that it was a fact at least from their perspective, but still there should be so reservation on the terror situation in Pakistan.
praised Pakistan's offensive against Taliban in SWAT & Waziristan.... but did not addresses the trust deficit the both the countries have.
in short the reservations of Pakistan are not taken into account and just a day or so before his policy speech saying that India has a vital role to play in the regional security is a 123 go for India, that is a threat to Pakistan. so as long as Pakistan does not improve our bargaining position we will be just waiting for our script as we are only actors and do what ever is written in the script. so we have to bargain.....on our terms and conditions.
it simply means we are getting ready and waitnig another dictation that we will strongly defend on media sometimes by saying that this is the pakistan's interest or this is our own policy and we are a sovereign nation.

its a good start of Democacy govt because as we the past suation of pakistan where the fedral govt igonored the provances . as like Balochistan and FATA where the suation is in front of us. and the suation of Balochistan and FATA has gone in internationl level. and this step of fedral govt is good may Allah bless Pakistan and make it peacfull country.

I agree with your assessment. How do you suggest we improve our bargaining position when we are already pushed to the limits?

"No body can climb the ledder of success,with having both hands in pocket"
without involving Pakistan in any matter of Afganistan,weather talk with taliban or sending more tropps , no policy can come to fruitfull result.
war is not the solution of any problem.we saw figting in afganistan and in FATA with weapons has disturb the situation further.if USA wants to win the war against terror he should use weapon of Talk/negotiation..
sending more troops in Afganistan will complex already complex situation of Afghanistan.on the one side USA is talking about talks with aliban and on the other hand thinking about expansion of war in afghanistan.its open truth now that USA wants to keep this region disturbe.he has no intention to withdraw his troops from here.
so without taking serious efforts this issu canot be resolved.
