View Photo »India is peddling propaganda against Pakistan in Afghanistan; accordingly, the Pakistanis are not in good books of some in the establishment here (Afghanistan)
On his first visit to Pakistan after he was appointed special representative to President Obama [ Images ] on Afghanistan and Pakistan (in January 2009), a lunch was hosted. I met him. He took out a notebook and a pen and asked, 'Who should be President of Pakistan?' It was a strange question, consideri...
Having a second one so soon, it's kind of a little bit of a shock ... I guess you see and hear about the war in Afghanistan and Iraq every day on the news, but this puts so much more of a personal spin on it for those of us here.
There was a convergence of views on the situation in Pakistan and Afghanistan. They agreed that more vigorous efforts are required to combat terrorism in the region
NATO and the IDF were facing similar threats -- NATO in Afghanistan and Israel in its war against Hamas and Hizbullah.
NATO's defence officials said that Di Paola used his meetings with the IDF to learn about new technology that can be applied to the war in Afghanistan
The one thing on NATO's mind today is how to win in Afghanistan... Di Paola was very impressed by the IDF, which is a major source of information due to our operational experience.
If we gave up Afghanistan tomorrow, I absolutely guarantee that if you are an AQ [al-Qaeda] member or Taleban, they will pour back into southern Afghanistan and they will have the freedom to plan and train and conduct operations which now they don't have
Terrorist groups who were once active in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) that border Afghanistan, are now active and have acquired a grip in mainland Pakistan
Descent into Chaos: The U.S. and the Disaster in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia.
The liberals must be going crazy. They called Bush a killer when he supported the wars. Now that Obama is sending 35,000 more troops over to Afghanistan and is supporting the war, I'd like to know what they're saying now. They're all for him now, since he's for the war. I don't get it.
I just wish the White House had taken as much time on health care as they have taken on Afghanistan in putting together their plan.
President Obama was elected to end the war. We are still in Iraq, drone bombing against Pakistan for the past 6 months has been more than all the drone bombing under Bush and we're escalating in Afghanistan. We have one message for U.S. troops: RESIST, REFUSE, DON'T GO, NO SURGE; and one message for Oba...
We've heard from former players in Ghana, Malaysia and Afghanistan ... All over the world, our alums are doing amazing things, and when they wake up on Sunday morning, they're all looking for us in the left-hand (win) column.
America cannot and will not succeeed in Afghanistan/Pakistan
Support victory in Iraq and Afghanistan by supporting military-recommended troops surges.
If Obama can't protect himself and his family in the White House, how we can we trust him to protect us against Al-Qaeda, thousands of miles away in Afghanistan?
After 32 months in Iraq, I don't believe that ... [and] mostly the Soldiers that have been to Iraq and Afghanistan don't believe that, either
hopes that the allies will follow suit and provide additional forces, but this will take some time ... NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen is urging the leaders of all countries engaged in Afghanistan to do more.
Part of the aim of the messages themselves is to dispel those rumors, like you can contract the disease by eating pork or that H1N1 was brought to Afghanistan and spread by coalition forces
People like Franz Josef Jung had tried to prevent a critical and open debate about the looming military and political failure in Afghanistan. That should now be over.
If we left Afghanistan behind it could spread from Afghanistan and through central Asia and risks destabilizing neighboring Pakistan a nuclear power. So I think that there is a broad consensus that we stay committed until the job is finished and obviously that is not forever
Very simply: We've accomplished our mission in Afghanistan. We went there to get al-Qaeda, al-Qaeda is no longer in Afghanistan and I believe that if we switch the mission now we will be doing nothing but beginning to get ourselves in the morass that we've tried to avoid since Vietnam
Self-Examination: On Afghanistan, President Obama will have to answer Sen. Obama's questions
The Pakistan operations in Waziristan this year were localised. We will have to see whether they go after the Taliban leadership in Quetta, go after the Taliban who are fighting in Afghanistan
I cannot even figure out how anyone voted for Obama and McCain. They are both the same. #afghanistan
