Afghanistan hits at Musharraf over Taliban remark

[maddezmom]

KABUL (Reuters) - Kabul has angrily rejected comments by Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf that the Taliban had grown more dangerous than al Qaeda with the support of Afghans, accusing some in Pakistan of sponsoring the rebels.
A terse Foreign Ministry statement accused Musharraf of reneging on a pledge in Kabul last week to stop playing the blame game over the Taliban, whose rise to power was sponsored by Islamabad.

"He has raised some regrettable and disturbing issues," the ministry said. "As with before, the Taliban continue to receive support from outside Afghanistan. Such support is the only factor that helps them inflict damage and suffering upon Afghanistan.

"There are distinct entities (in Pakistan) which provide motivation, training, equipment, financial support and sanctuary for the Taliban," said the statement, received late on Wednesday.

1. Well if you can only control an area about six blocks square in your

capital and the opposition has the rest, I'd say that you're pretty well screwed. And the puppet Afgani government is definitely that.

2. Afghanistan will never become this democratic nation that

the Busholini Regime claims that it already has become. It is another Pipe Dream of Multi-Corp domination.
