The fact is that Pakistan is more of a danger to us than Afghanistan. Although we know Pakistan has been harboring terrorists for eight years we have done nothing to punish them. Instead we have poured billions to help our real enemy. We should leave Afghanistan alone, and concentrate on Pakistan.
It is clear, and it is about time we Americans, including Obama administration, admit that our real problem lies in Pakistan and not in Afghanistan.
Pakistan has been harboring Osama and other senior Al Qaeda terrorists for eight years, while taking billions from us. Finally Hillary said this in Pakistan on Thursday, according to NYT:
A day earlier she was more explicit in her skepticism, telling a Pakistani journalist in Lahore: ''I find it hard to believe that nobody in your government knows where they are and couldn't get them if they really wanted to. Maybe that's the case. Maybe they're not gettable. I don't know.''
Many have been saying Pakistan has ignored, tacitly supported, and/or encouraged terrorists working from their country. NYT reports:
Pakistani forces pushing toward a lair of hard-core Taliban fighters found documents this week linked to a member of the Hamburg cell of Al Qaeda that is believed to have planned the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The hawks would make you believe if Taliban returned to power they would plot another 9-11 from Afghanistan. Well, they don't need it, their home is Pakistan.
As long as we refuse to recognize the realities of Af-Pak war, there is no hope for our security.
