Afghanistan

UK politicians seem to claim that 5 million more Afghan children are being educated because of the UK offensives yet BBC radio has informed us that the schools are there, but boarded up and there are no teachers. Hence this suggests political lying, common in UK as elsewhere.

Further, many roadside bombs and deaths seem not due to a Taliban roadside offensive, but bombs left years ago by the Russians. These must have been known of before the UK attacked using cheap trucks, easily bombed.

Pakistan continues to have ties with the Taliban and would happily get them to negotiate with the Americans if the US could promise to get the Indians out of Afghanistan. But if the western coalition is not “convinced”, Pakistan can turn “ugly” on India again.

IMO: I thought the Paks had just tried to negotiate with the Taliban and this had led to deaths of Paks, beating, death and intimidation of the Paks. In fact Indians are already trying to help the Afghans to carry out construction work in Afghanistan. Six Indian construction workers at least recently killed by the Taliban. India would help Pakistan too if Pak did not have even more crooked politicians than the UK, all making a lot of money at the expense of the rest of the world. The Taliban also reportedly distributed pamphlets in Gardez, the capital of Paktia province, which warned the militants would carry out more attacks on Indian firms "involved in anti-Islamic activities in Afghanistan and Pakistan," the channel said.

New Delhi has expressed frustration with Islamabad, accusing it of not doing enough to prosecute those deemed responsible for planning the Mumbai attack. Indian officials are closely monitoring Pakistan's crackdown on insurgents, especially the ongoing military operation against the Taliban. Indian Defense Minister Arackaparambil Kurian Antony says that has ramifications on this side of the border. "The situation in Pakistan is still turmoil. It's a matter of great concern to us," Antony said.
