Karzai worried about Pakistani deals with Taliban

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has expressed anxiety about Pakistan's deal with Taliban militants and warned that Kabul will 'not only be upset but extremely angry' if the agreement compromises his country's interests.
If the agreement with the Taliban in North West Frontier Province that borders Afghanistan impinges on his country's vital interests, Karzai said he would take it up with the civilian leadership in Pakistan.
Speaking to CNN, he said: 'That should not happen. That is certainly something we are concerned about and we hope our brothers in Pakistan will not allow that.'
When asked whether he was apprehensive that the deal between Pakistan government and Taliban could come at the cost of Afghanistan, he said: 'We cannot, under any circumstances, allow elements that are inimical to this country or that to operate from either country.'
It was Karzai’s said first interview after the recent attempt on his life in Kabul.
Karzai, however, said he had no objection to peace deals with those Taliban militants who want to return to a normal life, but talks with 'the hardcore ones, the extremist Al Qaeda elements or other terrorist networks ... that is wrong.'
Scathingly critical of reported moves by Pakistan to hold talks with Taliban leader Beitullah Mehsud, a prime accused in the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto last year, Karzai said: 'Talks with the killers of Benazir Bhutto, whosoever they are, I think it is wrong.'

Karzai worried about Pakistani deals with Taliban
Any attack from tribal belt should be considered an attack on USA. Afghan forces should penetrate into tribal belt to collect right information. this will put Pakistan with no alternative but to crush extremists. Let us be sure that terrorism is a threat to both Afghanistan and Pakistan. General false perception is that terrorism is a threat only to USA and Europe.

let's fight pakistani terrorists
pakistani barbarian terrorists are in this way supported by Pakistani ISI generals seeking their interest in afghanistan’s destruction and growth of violence here. They think violence in afghanistan and terrorists' activities here can impede insurgency inside pakistan but they will again experience that LAL MASJID case will again rise in that country and extremists will attack on pakistani government too as they are going to apply their restrict law in pakistan.

Like John Mccain (manchurian candidate)
20 medals for 22 hours combat, Shot down squealed like a chicken.
Your all talk in U.S your military is shown to be obsolite, Go back to what you do best ...Install a dictator???Oh that’s right your dictators just been kicked out.
Just do what you did in Somalia pay another country to do your dirty work.
Karzai would be a good choice....he can’t drive 10 km’s down the road with out someone trying to kill him....He can’t help???Maybe The U.S should help him get control of his own country first????
10 years of sanctions half a MILLION CHILDREN DEAD and many adult civilians also dead from the bombing of water treatment plants and other essentials for life BOMBED.
All that money spent and if you walked out today it would be a far worse place than when you arrived.
PUSSIES We dance in the street at your burning corpses.
