Lately Prime Minister Office has been recieving delegations from Afghanistan every day. How things change. I guess they now need to curry favour with PM Imran Khan.

Don't worry you can do a "fund me" campaign and do some charity runs should about do it. You could even get Indians to contribute now that Chah Bahar is as useful to India as tits on fish.

Yes, I can confirm this. Yes again. This was a shock to me. Here in UK they come across as more western then west but to find that the freakin practice FGM did not fit their image they have carved here. Even in the most conservative, backward areas of Pakistan where Taliban hold sway there is...

I think you know me from other forum and how I would get lambasted and get accused of being a apologist for the Afghans. You can see I was correct in my stance. I always said the choicve for Pakistan was limited to - integrate and develop trading order to the east - in other words India...

President Ghani's full time job used to be blaming everything on Pakistan. His part time job was piling cash in his palace and then ran away like a coward to Tajikistan. MOSCOW: Russia’s embassy in Kabul said on Monday that Afghan President Ashraf Ghani had fled the country with four cars and a...

So the plan was to run to Uzbekistan and use that country as platform to come back to Kabul. Sounds good but somebody forgot to let the Uzbeks in who ended up shooting the Afghan plane down. Suddenly this plan looks more dodgier then the first one which was supposed to defeat Taliban using the...

Trust me they will. Books will be written, talking heads will rant and use the bad *P* as the cause of the defeat of a superpower. 2 trillion dollars was wasted by the Haqqani group with help of few ISI officials.

You sound real salty after seeing the Talibs taking selfies in Ghani's office. Take a cold zero sugar coke to sate your mouth. Adios Amigo!

I would be a brave official in the Western world who would refuse to stamp 'Accepted' to a applicant who claims he is a Christian convert and a Gay. I guess he could give turbo boost to his application and hit 100 out of 100 score should the applicant also add 'sex change' into the mix.

I am not a blushing teenage girl who uses language like good/bad, love/hate, brother/sister when talking of geo-strategic events. Need I remind you - “Nations do not have permanent friends or enemies, only interests,” that post was within the referance of this old adage which I think is...

Emancipate the female population of Afghanistan?

I don't want to deviate from this thread but if I began it would exhaust the alphabet. I already covered the "S" so will leave it at that.

With respect it's more than that. Typical Talib recruit is a volunteer. He does not join the movement for a monthly salary, uniform, regular food, pension or prospects of promotion. The Talib is foremost a deeply religious man and who has been conditioned or has iman depending on your POV. He...

You about described the ANA and their defeat better than a 100 page academic thesis would.

Very true. Burqas, Sati, killing of unborn girls are curse or were of the most of developing world and needed/needs European intervention.

Now can we please spare some of that for the half of Saudia Arabia that is shackled and enslaved to males even if they wear gold leaf burqas.

One group here has discovered a new cause - female rights. Good on yeh!

No, they are going to test the proposition that 'less is more'. See if 20 years and 150,000 US/NATO could not destroy the Taliban will 7,000 in 14 days be able to do it. I am sure the Talibs will be shaking in their boots - correction: in their chappels.

The 'scared of Taliban' will become a ticket to Europe or USA for many.

Very true. There is going to be a massive exodus and the driver will be economics. US spent 2 trillion dollars in Afghan project. When you spend that sort of dollars even the trickle from that will float a 36 million country. If you look at Afghan cities they look more presentable then most...
