I received an email from a friend Hamid Rajput; a keen surfer who always digs out something interesting and useful. I must appreciate his keenness and choice of the reports that he brings out from the oceans of cyberworld.
If such dig outs by Hamid become a routine then I might make ‘Off The Net’ a regular column for Opinion Maker.
Of late there has been lot of noise from the American media and state office accusing Pakistan for funding, aiding the Taliban. Besides that American State Office has developed a habit to pass blames on to Pakistan without looking in their own kitchen where everything is being cooked.
What is more glaring that in most cases the US uses the same words and phrases that the Indians do. Also Americans are feeding the Indians with more lucrative jobs and contracts to India in Afghanistan who have suffered not s single life as against war on terror. At times there are strong reasons to doubt what the Americans are doing in Afghanistan.
Some of the reports mentioned below will certainly make the reader raise his/her eye brows. facts:
Who is supporting Taliban and which army is rogue, read below!!!
A video obtained exclusively by Al Jazeera purports to show Taliban fighters in the Kamdesh district. Sections of the footage also show Taliban fighters brandishing what appeared to be US weapons. The fighters said they had seized the arms cache from two military outposts in eastern Nuristan, abandoned by US forces last month. Angela Eggman, a NATO spokeswoman, said it was not clear from the video where or when the weapons were obtained. “Before departing the base, the units removed all sensitive items and accounted for them,” she said. But General Mohammad Qassim Jangulbagh, Nuristan’s provincial police chief, disagreed, saying: “The Americans left ammunition at the base.” Farooq Khan, a spokesman for the Afghan National Police in Nuristan, concurred, saying US forces left arms and ammunition when they moved from the area, which he said was now in fighters’ hands.
