President Zardari also called upon the US and the world community to halt intrusion into tribal areas from Afghanistan. He said Islamabad was fighting a war against terrorism under a comprehensive strategy and the US was needed to understand the ground realities in Pakistan.
Boucher participating in the discussion said the US supported Pakistan's policy against terrorism and high-tech weapons would be supplied to Pakistan forces for crushing the miscreants. He said he would ask President Karzai in a meeting to stop intrusion into Fata from Afghanistan.
India's trained terrorists intrude into Pakistan's territory and commit serious acts of terrorism such as mass killings, bombings, torture, and intimidation of civilians. This is proved by the reports when Indian national namely Rohit Vashisht was captured by the Afghan police on 3 September 2007 in district Zarai of Kandahar province for financing Taliban militants in the region. Rohit revealed that he had been financing Taliban to convince them to carry out suicide attacks against Pakistan and NATO forces.
He further divulged that he was successful to a great extent in convincing Taliban to locate and identify their real enemy (Pakistan) responsible for the mess in the region. Rohit carried maps of Pakistani cities including Peshawar, Rawalpindi, and Islamabad. Police also recovered names of various Taliban leaders and their addresses with whom he possibly met or contacted during his present stay or his probable previous visit to the area in the past.
Another incident of this kind happened when an Indian doctor working as member of a medical team in Jalalabad was caught redhanded for instigating patients to work for India. These Indian nationals were repatriated quietly to India due to the considerable influence from senior officials of the Indian Embassy including the ambassador.

President Asif Zardari just a few weeks ago said the the Kashmir solution should be left to the next generation. US wants ISI destroyed. Then he said "India was not Pakistan's number one enemy". He invited Mr. Hamid Karzai to his inauguration. Water Wars: The impact of India stopping Pakistani water. After returning from the UK, USA and China has Mr. Zardari had an epiphany? He has now called on the same Mr. Karzia with which he shared the podium on his inauguration to halt cross border terrorism into Pakistan. What a difference a few weeks make.

Is it reality that visited President Asif Zardari, or did his meetings with Mr. Karzai, Mr. Bush and the Chinese leaders made him relaize that his old idealism was misplaced.

So the president has finally become aware of Indian duplicity and hostile intent towards Pakistan. Deeply rooted in its revisionist historical mindset, India is certainly not going to alter its approach towards Pakistan simply because of the presumed "charm offensive" the president feels he can turn on to right all ills the country faces!

Afghan money fuels terrorism in Pakistan By Maqbool Malik submitted 6 hours 23 minutes ago
ISLAMABAD - President Asif Ali Zardari is believed to have called for immediate US steps to prevent the use of Afghan drug money in terrorism in Pakistan.
Pakistan's National Crisis Management Cell (NCMC) submits proof of Indian RAW involvement in terror bombing in Pakistan. Blunt message to New Delhi to stop!
India intelligence: "'the aim of RAW is to keep internal disturbances flaring up and the ISI preoccupied so that Pakistan can lend no worthwhile resistance to Indian designs in the region." India a secret player in Afghanistan: Bases—Lashkargarh, Qushila Jadid,Khahak,Hassan Killies
Reliable sources informed The Nation that President Zardari had conveyed these concerns to US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Richard Boucher who was believed to have called on him Sunday at Aiwan-e-Sadr.
Karzai the biggest drug baron in Afghanistan
The meeting was not officially confirmed, as the official spokesman of the President was not available for comments. When contacted, the US embassy spokesman neither confirmed nor denied the meeting.
However, he clarified that Boucher's current visit to Pakistan was mutually finalised by the two countries, adding the US Assistant Secretary was meeting various government officials, representatives of the civil society and political leaders.
Insidious plan for Pakistan? Is US a Trojan horse in Afghanistan?
QUESTION: Mr. Boucher, we are also glad to see you again here in Kyrgyzstan. I'm from Radio Azattyk, which is the Kyrgyz-language service of Radio Free Liberty, and my question is about Ganci (Manas) Air Base. Some local and international analysts think the U.S. government is no longer interested in the work of Manas and is promoting a new strategy of government in Central Asia. How would you comment?
ASSISTANT SECRETARY BOUCHER: I don't know where that information came from. I have to say, every time I come here I hear a lot of unusual stories and theories. But I just keep coming back to the fact that we're very transparent, we're very open, and we're very honest about what we are doing and in what we are saying. The Base is important. It's important to us, but it's important to every country in the region, to the other countries that use it, but also to the other countries that are affected by terrorism coming out of Afghanistan. We're very engaged, and we're going to stay engaged to help build a stable Afghanistan that can be an asset to the people in the region and not a threat. That's the purpose of the Base, that's the value of the Base, and it's a value to all of us, to help us stop this threat of terrorism and the threat of narcotics coming out of Afghanistan right now. But in the long-run for you, it's not just the threat, it's the opportunity of Afghanistan, too. You'll be able to sell energy to the south, you'll be able to sell vegetables to the south, you'll be able to buy and sell products to India and Pakistan through a stable Afghanistan. And that's why we are involved in Afghanistan, and that's why we all still have an interest in the Base.
QUESTION: Associated Press. Lately, in our press, there was information about an analysis about the efficiency of the activities of the Base which determined that Base operations are 80% inefficient.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY BOUCHER: I never heard of that — another one of those stories that you encounter here, that I don't know why people spread them. We work a lot with the country in different ways. Everybody's a partner in the fight against terrorism. Everybody's a partner in the fight against narcotics. And that includes countries like China and Russia. Different countries are involved in Afghanistan in different ways. Some of the immediate neighbors are providing, selling electricity to Afghanistan to help keep the lights on for the people of Kabul. Other neighbors transport supplies — some of that comes down through Russia and Central Asia, supplies that are needed by the Afghan government and the Coalition, some of that's by air through Manas, some of that's by air through other countries and other bases, some of that's by road, some of that's by rail. So, all these efforts are important. Everybody's contribution is important, including the contribution that Kyrgyzstan makes.
The efficiency of the Base is that it provides a route for personnel and some supplies. Other people and supplies go through other routes. And I think it's just that we need.we're all in this together. It's a problem for all of us. If we fix it, it's an opportunity for all of us. As the Afghan government stabilizes Afghanistan with the support of foreign countries and neighbors, it presents a new opportunity for people for trade and energy and outlets to the sea. So the Base is an important part of that and will be until we finish the job.
It was learnt that issues related to the war against terror, Pak-Afghan border situation and bilateral ties figured out during the meeting.
The last mayor of Kabul's failures spell the end of Afghanistan. How long can the inept Karzai blame others for his corrupt Narco Warlordism?
India intelligence: "'the aim of RAW is to keep internal disturbances flaring up and the ISI preoccupied so that Pakistan can lend no worthwhile resistance to Indian designs in the region."
Meanwhile, it was learnt that Boucher would also meet PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif and Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif here on Monday to discuss political issues and war on terror.

China Is Rising, So Why Should Zardari And Gilani Afraid Of US????
China Is Rising,So Why Should Zardari And Gilani Afraid Of U.S.?
The good news for Pakistan is that the U.S. has run out of money to continue its quest for military hegemony in the Middle East and Central Asia. This is a good time for the Pakistani military to impress upon President Zardari to set himself and the nation free of the wages of the ‘deal’ brokered by the Americans that brought him to power. America is a friend but unlike the advice that Mr. Zardari is receiving from U.S. loyalist Mr. Husain Haqqani, America’s interests are not necessarily the same as Pakistan’s, especial in Afghanistan and the region. The financial meltdown provides Pakistan with a rare opportunity to reduce its dependence on western aid, possibly disengage from playing the ‘new Great Game’ on behalf of the West, and make a bold and decisive shift in its foreign policy that is driven by its own long-term economic and strategic interests.

President Zardari has just concluded his China visit at a time when the global economic power balance is undergoing a historic shift."End of U.S. era — now China calls the tune" declares a headline of The Sydney Morning Herald, Australia’s oldest and most respected newspaper. "Can Chinese cash save the world’s banks?" is a lead story in Time. "Is this the end of the American era?" is the title of an op-ed written by noted historian Paul Kennedy in The Sunday Times, U.K.Billionaire investor George Soros has predicted the financial crisis would mean the end of a U.S.-led market system that has dominated the global economy through debt and deregulation since the 1980s. "This is now over. The game is out. It does mean a very serious adjustment for America," Soros said in a CNN interview.China should lead rescue efforts for the U.S. financial crisis, Mexican tycoon Carlos Sim, one of the world’s richest men, told the press last week. "China is now the most important country to help responsibly in this crisis," he said."China owns us, lock, stock and barrel, so it’s more important than ever that the U.S. monetary authorities coordinate their monetary policies with China," Chris Rupkey, New York-based chief financial economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Japan’s largest, told Bloomberg.The headlines and reports convey a dawning realization in western capitals that the biggest casualty of the western financial meltdown might be the U.S. dominance of the global financial system, the linchpin of its global power. And that it is China, with over $1.8 trillion in foreign exchange reserves growing at a pace of $40 billion a month, which holds the key to the financing of the astronomical budget deficit that the U.S. will have to run to finance the bailout of its financial institutions.Declining Superpower?The reports of the death of American capitalism may be exaggerated but there is little question that the financial meltdown means the end of its sole superpower status in what was described as a unipolar world. America’s western allies, Britain, France, Germany, and other European countries, have committed over $2 trillion to rescue the banking system from collapse and will face mounting fiscal deficits to finance them. Meanwhile, in 2009, the GDP of Asia (ex-Japan), on purchasing power parity basis, is likely to reach the level equal to that of the U.S. and Western Europe combined, with China certain to overtake Germany as the world’s third largest economy.On Jan. 20, 2009, either Barack Obama or John McCain will walk into the Oval Office facing the grimmest economic landscape in decades: 7-8 per cent of the nation’s workforce unemployed; millions more families that have lost more than $12 trillion of wealth in the value of homes and stocks; a global recession; a crippled banking system; ailing state and local governments -- some on the verge of bankruptcy; jittery foreign creditors; budget deficit near the landmark $1 trillion and forecast to cross $2 trillion in the next 12 months; and $10 trillion in federal government debt or 72 per cent of its GDP.This year, net interest on U.S. federal debt is projected at $244 billion, about $100 billion more than the annual cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even before the meltdown started, it was expected that the U.S. would find an exit strategy from Iraq. Now it looks almost certain that it will have to find an exit strategy from both Iraq and Afghanistan. In any event, the U.S. was not planning to send more troops to Afghanistan until early 2009, with little signs of support from its NATO allies. The U.S. has spent an average of $12.1 billion a month on its wars, including $9.8 billion in Iraq, $2.3 billion for Afghanistan and civilian aid.The Bush administration has come under heavy criticism for its handling of the economy this year and spending over one trillion dollars on the ‘war on terror’ in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001. It is not a coincidence that it recently decided to review its entire strategy in Afghanistan and gave a nod to the Saudis to conduct secret negotiations with the Taliban with the objective of finding a way out of the quagmire.
"During the talks, all parties agreed that the only solution to Afghanistan’s conflict is through dialogue, not fighting," CNN reported on Oct 5.
The so-called war on terror will be the biggest casualty of the budget cuts that a financially crippled U.S. government would have to make, but the axe is also likely to fall on foreign aid.
The U.S. government’s foreign aid budget is $20.3 billion in 2008. Joe Biden, Democratic vice-presidential candidate, said on Oct. 2 that the $700 billion bailout might force Barack Obama to reassess his promise to double foreign aid if elected president. "The one thing we might have to slow down is a commitment we made to double foreign assistance. We’ll probably have to slow that down," Biden said during a debate with his Republican vice-presidential rival Sarah Palin.Reorienting Pakistan’s U.S. PolicyThe escalation in the U.S. military campaign on Pakistan’s northern borders can be viewed in the context of its economic crisis. It shows all the signs of desperation. It cannot help Pakistan, yet it wants to ‘win’ the war in Afghanistan. On the one hand, it appears to be using the multilateral lenders to pressure Pakistan to ‘do more’; on the other hand, it is conducting psychological warfare through drone attacks and covert operations inside Pakistan’s borders.The good news for Pakistan is that the U.S. has run out of money to continue its quest for military hegemony in the Middle East and Central Asia. Given its financial meltdown and astronomical debt levels, the U.S. has no option but to forget about its ambitions to be the dominant military power in the region, seek a truce with the Taliban, pursue diplomacy to resolve conflicts with Iran, and, equally importantly, recognize China’s strategic interests in the region.After all, China is the largest creditor of the U.S. with nearly $1 trillion in the holdings of treasury bills and government-guaranteed debt and the U.S. cannot finance its gargantuan deficits and service its $10 trillion debt without a steady flow of funds from China. True, China has a stake in the financial stability of the U.S. but the extraordinary turn of events has given it a leverage that was unthinkable only a year ago. "If the world economy darkens further, China will emerge as the likeliest savior," concluded the Economist in a recent issue.Pakistan enjoys historically close relations with China and the financial meltdown provides it with a rare opportunity to reduce its dependence on western aid, possibly disengage from playing the ‘new Great Game’ on behalf of the West, and make a bold and decisive shift in its foreign policy that is driven by its own long-term economic and strategic interests.Pakistan may wish to look beyond the immediate need for financing its external deficit that has bled its foreign exchange reserves. China has a long-term strategic interest in a strong, stable and economically independent Pakistan. It is the only major power that has both the will and the capacity to exploit Pakistan’s natural resources and help build its infrastructure that is in dire need of huge investment. In contrast to the U.S., China sees itself, and not India, as the leader of the future Asian century and has a natural interest in a Pakistan which is more than a client state of the West.But Pakistan may need to do more than just ask for help and talk about the history of the Pakistan-China friendship. It may have to demonstrate through its words and actions that it considers China -- and not the U.S. -- its best friend. It should address China’s concerns about Pakistan’s support for the Taliban in the past and its spillover effects on Chinese provinces.It may also be expected to demonstrate a stronger commitment with the members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). But all this would require a comprehensive review of Pakistan’s foreign, economic and defense priorities and policies and a national consensus to demonstrate that it is indeed ready to enter into a new era of its strategic relationship with China.
