Egg on their faces....Mullah Baradar Released

(7 posts)
  1. They said:
    His capture PROVED Karachi was safe haven for Taliban leaders and miltants (funny even then since they were talking of one such person's capture -- some save haven!)

    It was hailed as a great success of CIA/ISI cooperation (funny as they still want us to believe CIA and ISI are enemies working against each other)

    We were told by Zahid Hussain/WSJ/Dawn/etc. Baradar was the second-most powerful figure in Afghanistan’s Taliban movement and was more dangerous than Omar

    Well now we are told Mullah Baradar has been released under 'US pressure'

    My related posts from back then:
    Well talking of "conspiracy" here is a real on: All that talk of Talibanization of Karachi..
    (Remember the Karachi Ashura bombings were blamed on them at the time, so now what happens to that? They need to find a new patsy)
    And There Goes The “ISI vs U.S. Intelligence” Myth — Updated
    (I had maintained this capture was no big breakthrough. Baradar was regularly meeting with ISI/CIA and they just nabbed him during one of these meetings)

  4. Nato giving safe passage to Taliban for talks
    LONDON: The commander of Nato forces in Afghanistan, US General David Petraeus, admitted on Friday that western troops had facilitated the safe passage of Taliban leaders to Kabul for talks with the government.

    US and International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) troops had helped militant commanders get to the Afghan capital as part of its support for Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s negotiations with the militants, he said.

    “There are certain ongoing initiatives in that regard,” Gen Petraeus told an audience at the Royal United Services Institute in central London when asked about the state of negotiations with the Taliban.

    “And indeed in certain respects we do facilitate that, given that, needless to say, it would not be the easiest of tasks for a senior Taliban commander to enter Afghanistan and make his way to Kabul if Isaf were not witting and therefore aware of it and allows it to take place,” he said....

    This well exposes what we already know. ISI simply shifted Baradar to a guest safehouse in order to control the taliban -karzai dialogue in whish ISI was not being involved.

    Now Baradar has been released with new instructions on how to tow Pakistani line in negotiations.

    It is silly to suggest that ISI is working for or against CIA, when as a devious spy agency known for backstabbing any and all, it can work both for and against at the same time as long as the money keeps flowing.

    i don't understand that why not mind's accept natural power of region nation no one beat thease nation.
    Alexander the Great and the Seleucids (312-260 BCE

    Alexander the Great and his Macedonian army arrived to the area of Afghanistan in 330 BCE after defeating Darius III of Persia a year earlier at the Battle of Gaugamela.[19] His army faced very strong resistance in the Afghan tribal areas where he is said to have commented that Afghanistan is "easy to march into, hard to march out of."[1] In a letter to his mother, Alexander described the inhabitants of what is now Afghanistan as lion-like brave people.
    I am involved in the land of a 'Leonine' (lion-like) and brave people, where every foot of the ground is like a wall of steel, confronting my soldier. You have brought only one son into the world, but everyone in this land can be called an Alexander

    Greco-Bactrians (305–125 BCE)

    Approximate maximum extent of the Greco-Bactrian kingdom circa 180 BCE, including the regions of Tapuria and Traxiane to the West, Sogdiana and Ferghana to the north, Bactria and Arachosia to the south.Greco-Bactria continued until ca. 130 BCE, when Eucratides' son, King Heliocles I, was defeated and driven out of Bactria by the Yuezhi tribes. It is thought that his dynasty continued to rule in Kabul and Alexandria of the Caucasus until 70 BCE when King Hermaeus was defeated by the Yuezhi.

    One of Demetrius' successors, Menander I, brought the Indo-Greek Kingdom to its height between 165–130 BCE, expanding the kingdom in India to even larger proportions than Demetrius. After Menander's death, the Indo-Greeks steadily declined and the last Indo-Greek king was defeated in ca. 10 CE.
    After Alexander's death in 323 BCE, Chandragupta turned his attention to Northwestern India (modern Pakistan), where he defeated the satraps (described as "prefects" in classical Western sources) left in place by Alexander (according to Justin), and may have assassinated two of his governors, Nicanor and Philip.[disambiguation needed][22][23] The satraps he fought may have included Eudemus, ruler in western Punjab until his departure in 317 BCE; and Peithon, son of Agenor, ruler of the Greek colonies along the Indus until his departure for Babylon in 316 BCE. The Roman historian Justin described how Sandrocottus (Greek version of Chandragupta's name) conquered the northwest:
