Kerry warns Pakistan on Afghanistan stability
Source: CNN

Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- There are "disturbing" signs Pakistan's government knows about insurgents crossing from their country into Afghanistan, U.S. Sen. John Kerry said Sunday as he toured the region.

There are "deep reservations" about whether Pakistan shares Washington's goals in the region, he added, visiting Afghanistan two weeks after U.S. Navy SEALs tracked down Osama bin Laden and killed him in Pakistan.

But, he said, Pakistan has supported American efforts and have allowed the U.S. to have intelligence in Pakistan.

"That said, we are at a moment where we have to resolve a lot of issues. They understand that, we understand that," said Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat and the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

2. All of destabilization in Afghanistan is made by Pakistan
Edited on Sun May-15-11 03:08 PM by cosmicone
Taliban was a Pakistani creation to drive the pro-India Ahmad Shah Masood from power. Now Pakistan is trying to drive out the pro-US and pro-India Karzai from power and install an ISI operative like "Mullah Omar" to rule Afghanistan.

The bottom line is, if US wants to win the war in Afghanistan, the US HAS to destroy Pakistani military. Period.
