Now the Obama administration has given full support to the ruthless killing by security forces of Pakistan in tribal areas. This is the fact that terrorists are present in tribal areas, but it does mean that the United State, which always remained in the forefront in campaign for democracy in the world, should show happiness over the deaths and destruction. Rulers of Pakistan will feel no hesitation in killing all citizens of Pakistan if they feel that the US rulers are happy over the deaths and destruction. There must be some check on the ruthless killing.
According to a statement issued by US Embassy in Islamabad, which has been carried by several Pakistani newspapers, US National Security Adviser Gen (Retd) James L. Jones exchanged views with the Pakistani civilian and military leadership on Thursday on operational details and timing of the intensified counter-insurgency operation in Afghanistan and its synchronisation with the military offensive against extremists in Pakistan.
Gen Jones' visit was for discussing current challenges confronting Pakistan and coordinating efforts with the Pakistan government in implementing the new shared comprehensive strategy,' said a statement issued by the US embassy on the conclusion of his two-day visit during which he met President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, Chief of Army Staff Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani and other government officials.
Apart from Washington's keenness to engage with Islamabad, sources said, Gen Jones' visit bore all marks of a 'micro-management model' which hitherto was missing from the relationship between the two allies.
The top US security official praised Pakistan's military operation against militants as 'tremendous confidence-builder for the future'. He indicated that Pakistan's renewed resolve against militancy infused great optimism in Washington about the success of the fight against militancy.
He said the action had generated goodwill for Pakistan in the US, adding that terrorism was a shared threat. 'Terrorism is not simply the enemy of America - it is a direct and urgent threat to the Pakistani people,' he said.
