Don't micromanage Pakistan's war on terror, Musharraf warns US |
Former Pakistan President
Pervez Musharraf has warned the United States that it should not try to "micromanage"
Pakistan's anti-terrorism efforts against the Taliban. "Don't get into micromanaging
how Pakistan works because we know how to do it better than you," the Daily Times
Quoted Musharraf, as saying. Musharraf said that while Islamabad needed America's
financial support to defeat the Taliban and other extremists, his country could
manage anti-terrorism on its own. "I am a firm believer that Pakistan is a country
that has the resources and human capital to rise on its own with no assistance
from anybody in the world," he said. Musharraf pointed out that it was the US
that helped create the Taliban in the 1980s to fight against the Soviet Union's
occupation of Afghanistan. America encouraged the rise of Al Qaeda by abandoning
the 35,000 ethnic Pashtun fighters after Moscow pulled out of the country, he
said. "Washington must regain the Pashtuns' trust if it is to bring stability
to Afghanistan," he said. |
