History is about to repeat itself once again. The increased number of trips to Islamabad by the Allied Puppet Karzai are an indication that Karzai needs many things from Islamabad. The surge is at its peak, and the situation on the ground in Afghanistan has deteriorated fro the worst. The Allied Puppet Hamid Karzai, better known as Mr. Schmooze who changes color like a chameleon, is in Islamabad trying to shore up support from Pakistan for his talks with Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. Karzai is also pleading for Islamabad’s support for a peaceful elections–something that other countries in the region cannot help with.
The Pakistanis are pushing Karzai for rapid movement towards peace. Zahid Hussain of the The Wall Street Journal reports that “Senior Pakistan officials have promoted a potential peace deal in meetings with U.S. and Afghan officials under which the Taliban would lay down arms in return for some measure of autonomy in the ethnic Pashtun areas of Afghanistan, people familiar with the discussions say. The Taliban draws its fighters largely from Pashtun areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan.”
Addressing a joint news conference with his Pakistani counterpart Asif Ali Zardari on September 15, the Afghan Puppet leader said his government was prepared to hold talks with Taliban leaders who have dissociated themselves from Al-Qaeda and stopped supporting terrorism. Afghan and Pakistani analysts speaking to RFE/RL’s Radio Mashaal have described Karzai’s visit as a drive for Islamabad’s support. Strong security during the election in Afghanistan is also dependent on Pakistani cooperation, and definitely, Karzai will be trying to win the support of Pakistan for the holding of peaceful elections. Pakistan’s role was more important than any other country in the plan that Karzai announced to hold talks with the Taliban and the Hezb-e-Islami faction led by former Afghan Prime Minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar who has also been fighting NATO-led and Afghan government forces.
The nature of the relationship between Pakistan and the United States and between Pakistan and Afghanistan is being reshaped in recent times and Karzai’s visit is seen in this context as well. And the success of the plan announced by Hamid Karzai for reconciliation with the Taliban and Hezb-e-Islami is also dependent on the role of Pakistan. On the other hand, in Kabul, Abdul Ghafoor Liwal, head of the Regional Studies Center, agreed that Karzai needed support from Pakistan.
“Recently, progress has emerged in the Pakistan-Afghanistan relationship about some new developments on the scene and the same political and economic developments will [have been] discussed during the recent visit [of Karzai]”, Liwal said. “There is no doubt that Pakistan is holding a special position in the reconciliation plan that the Afghan president wants to introduce and implement.”

History is about to repeat itself once again. The increased number of trips to Islamabad by the Allied Puppet Karzai are an indication that Karzai needs many things from Islamabad. The surge is at its peak, and the situation on the ground in Afghanistan has deteriorated fro the worst. The Allied Puppet Hamid Karzai, better known as Mr. Schmooze who changes color like a chameleon, is in Islamabad trying to shore up support from Pakistan for his talks with Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. Karzai is also pleading for Islamabad’s support for a peaceful elections–something that other countries in the region cannot help with.
- The Allied Puppet Karzai has increased the frequency of his trips to Pakistan in recent months, in a sign of attempts to forge an end to the Taliban insurgency. Karzai is expected to meet Thursday with Pakistani army chief Gen. Ashfaq Kayani. Gen. Kayani and the ISI chief, Lt. General Shuja Pasha, have visited Kabul several times in the past few months.
- Afghan and Pakistani analysts have described Karzai’s visit as a drive for Islamabad’s support.
- Strong security during the election is also dependent on Pakistani cooperation, and definitely, Karzai will be trying to win the support of Pakistan for the holding of peaceful elections.
- Pakistan’s role was more important than any other country in the plan that Karzai announced to hold talks with the Taliban and the Hezb-e-Islami faction led by former Afghan Prime Minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar that has also been fighting NATO-led and Afghan government forces.
- U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry told Obama about “efforts to support enhanced governance and accountability” amid new tensions with Karzai caused by U.S. efforts to promote its law-enforcement approach to fighting corruption in Afghanistan's National Interest.
- General David Petraeus, commander of forces in Afghanistan, explained that the military is “now at the highest operational tempo to date” and making headway against the Taliban National Interest.
The Pakistanis are pushing Karzai for rapid movement towards peace. Zahid Hussain of the The Wall Street Journal reports that “Senior Pakistan officials have promoted a potential peace deal in meetings with U.S. and Afghan officials under which the Taliban would lay down arms in return for some measure of autonomy in the ethnic Pashtun areas of Afghanistan, people familiar with the discussions say. The Taliban draws its fighters largely from Pashtun areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan.”
- KANDAHAR: The Taliban vowed on day to launch attacks on Afghanistan’s imminent parliamentary poll, saying election workers and security forces will be the main target.
- “All the roads leading to polling centers will come under attack and election workers and security forces will be our primary targets ” Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid told AFP.
- More than 2,500 candidates are contesting the election on Saturday for the 249 seats in the lower house of parliament in the second poll of its kind since the Taliban were ousted from power in a 2001 US-led invasion. Times of India
- After nine years of war, the Allied Puppet Karzai has little faith that coalition forces can rout the Taliban, his aides say. The insurgency, which is overwhelmingly waged by Pashtuns—Afghanistan’s largest ethnic group—shows no sign of abating despite the surge in U.S. troop numbers. Instead, the Afghan puppet leader, himself a Pashtun, is seeking a negotiated peace deal with the ever more strengthening Taliban.
- “If you just rely on the military, we’ve seen the result ”, explains Mohammad Masoom Stanekzai, the senior presidential puppet adviser for peace and reconciliation. “There is no purely military solution in Afghanistan.”
- American military commanders say they back their Puppet Karzai’s effort to court members of the Taliban, comparing it to the successful strategy in Iraq to win over the so called "Sunni Arab insurgents".
- Karzai’s overtures, formally launched at a June peace conference where he called insurgents “brothers” and “dear Talibs”, included asking the United Nations to remove Taliban leaders from the international sanctions black list and ordering the freeing of Taliban suspects from government custody.
- A separate government-sponsored conference of clerics in Kabul passed a resolution singling out insufficient enforcement of Sharia Islamic laws, the Taliban’s key demand, as the obstacle to peace. This month, the Puppet Karzai created a formal negotiating committee for talks with Taliban leaders. Wall Street Journal
Addressing a joint news conference with his Pakistani counterpart Asif Ali Zardari on September 15, the Afghan Puppet leader said his government was prepared to hold talks with Taliban leaders who have dissociated themselves from Al-Qaeda and stopped supporting terrorism.

- Saleh Registani, a former senior commander of the Northern Alliance and a key Panjshiri representative in the national parliament, says that this time around the Taliban, should they reach a political deal with Karzai, could easily conquer the entire country.
- It is critical to remember at this point that a few days ago, Command Mullah Mohammad Omar refused to hold any dialogues with the Allied forces or their puppets. The only way to resolve Afghan issue according to him was that the allies and their puppets LEAVE afghanistan immediately or get ready to be skinned.
- “The Taliban are very strong and well equipped while the Northern Alliance is no longer the old Northern Alliance. It has no leadership, no weapons, no power. We cannot protect anyone anymore”, Mr. Registani says. “If you’re optimistic these days, you’re either blind or not living in Afghanistan.”
