Jizya to keep flowing to Pakistan after U.S. pullout from Afghanistan

Jan 29, 2014 8:43 am By Robert Spencer

Pakistan has in the past funneled to the terrorists themselves the money it received from the U.S. to fight terror. What safeguards are in place now to make sure that doesn’t happen again? Why, none. To ask for any accountability from Pakistan would be “Islamophobic.”

“US to keep funding Pakistan after pullout,” by Wajid Ali Syed for The News International, January 29 (thanks to Lookmann):

WASHINGTON: Pakistan wants the Coalition Support Fund (CSF) to continue after the US/ISAF forces leave Afghanistan in 2014, arguing that it has to deal with cross-border terrorism. It seems that the US accepted the argument and has offered to chart out a framework by next month.

“The need for the CSF persists so the security assistance should continue,” Sartaj Aziz, Prime Minister’s Adviser on National Security and Foreign Affairs, said here on Monday night.

The majority of the US assistance to Pakistan is from the CSF which is reimbursement to Pakistan for expenses already incurred in fighting terrorism. Sartaj Aziz said that defence cooperation between the US and Pakistan remains important and procurement of valuable defence related equipment for Pakistan is under discussion as well. He said he had discussion with the US Secretary of State John Kerry on the matter and between the US and Pakistan,” Aziz said.

He highlighted that withdrawal of western forces from Afghanistan will deepen pressure on Pakistan, saying that border infiltration remains a concern for both the US and Pakistan which calls for a proper border management strategy. He said that as much as 100,000 Afghan people cross the border into Pakistan everyday, adding that Interior Ministry officials will visit Kabul soon to discuss the issue. He said a robust system titled “Easement Rights” needs to be applied that allows Afghan immigrants to cross the border legally with proper documentation.

He continued that the power vacuum in Afghanistan should be filled by Afghan people through a political system. “Pakistan believes in non-interference and there should not be any proxy war at work in Afghanistan,” he said, “there can be no peace in Afghanistan unless all countries of the region follow the same policy of non-interference and having no favourites in that country.”

Sartaj Aziz emphasised the same point as well during his ministerial-level meeting with the Secretary of State John Kerry at the State Department earlier on Monday. It was also raised in the joint statement issued after the meeting was concluded.

The statement said: “Both sides reiterated their call on the Taliban to join the political process and enter into dialogue with the Afghan government.”Answering a question, Sartaj Aziz said that Bilateral Security Agreement between the US and Afghanistan was not Pakistan’s concern.

“It is a matter for those two countries to decide, and Pakistan would not like to force Afghanistan into signing the accord,” he said. He added that experts assess that Afghan security forces would at the moment need support to combat insurgency. “Our concern is that hostilities in Afghanistan can spill over into Pakistan. We could have a flood of refugees if there is infighting in Afghanistan,” he said.

The joint statement mentioned that Pak-US partnership was important for world security. It marked the Aziz-Kerry ministerial meeting discussed varied issues from cooperation in energy sector to building foundation for inclusive economic growth. It also focused on shared security challenges. The meeting decided that a follow-on Defence Resourcing Conference should be held in February. Both countries will also participate in the 2014 Nuclear Security Summit in The Hague.

They also welcomed plans to convene the Law Enforcement and Counterterrorism Working Group in March.

Labelled as ‘Advancing Regional Peace and Stability’, both countries recognised the paramount importance of regional stability and stressed that a peaceful, stable, independent and united Afghanistan was in the interest of the region. They shared their mutual conviction that a stable and peaceful Pakistan-Afghanistan border was important for the success of counterterrorism, counterinsurgency, and counter-IED efforts, and that cross-border militancy was a serious threat to both countries. Secretary Kerry and Adviser Aziz also recognised the potential for enhanced stability and prosperity from improved bilateral relations between Pakistan and India.

    The Pakistan military hid OBL and many of his cohorts and knew where he was all along. Pakistan is still hiding many terrorists who are supported by much of the population who see them as heroes of Islam. Pakistan lets the war go on so it can continue receiving monies to fight it.

      True; great point, Mortimer! …and obama continues to weaken not only our national security, but Israel’s and the worlds, as well. During last nights state of the union address, obama went on record stating that Iran is not building a nuclear bomb, and implied that they’re rolling back their nuclear program and stopping the enrichment of uranium–which is patently false information!

      obama–nobody believes that–and we aren’t safer with Iran. And that’s why Israel is concerned, due to what obama stated last night about Iran. I imagine that Netanyahu was screaming “No!” at the top of his lungs when he heard obama make that inane statement, and Iran was bent over laughing.

    “Pakistan believes in non-interference and there should not be any proxy war at work in Afghanistan,”

    And the award for best comedy one-liner goes to…

    Jizya to keep flowing to Pakistan after U.S. pullout from Afghanistan
    ……………………………….

    And are we going to link any of this “foreign aid” to Pakistan’s improving their treatment of religious minorities or fighting Jihad terrorism? I won’t be holding my breath…

    Certainly, if finding that Pakistan was *hiding bin Laden*, then I doubt *anything* will be enough to dissuade Obama.

    And after we leave Afghanistan, Pakistan will probably be directly funneling American taxpayer money to the Taliban…

    More:

    WASHINGTON: Pakistan wants the Coalition Support Fund (CSF) to continue after the US/ISAF forces leave Afghanistan in 2014, arguing that it has to deal with cross-border terrorism…
    ……………………………….

    Of course, most of their “dealing ” with cross-border terrorism has been in the form of enabling it…

    More:

    “Pakistan believes in non-interference…
    ………………………………

    What a sick joke—Pakistan certainly doesn’t believe in “non-Interference” in India, with their backing of the terrible Mumbai attacks.

    And Jihad terrorists regularly bop back and forth across the AfPak border.

    The only times that Pakistan pays the slightest attention is when some Jihadist decides to target the Pakistani government itself, and even then their response is pretty half-hearted. And why not? Most Pakistanis support Jihad.

    More:

    The statement said: “Both sides reiterated their call on the Taliban to join the political process and enter into dialogue with the Afghan government.”
    ……………………………….

    Another sick joke, since the Taliban is targeting both American and Afghan targets—but all this Jihad carnage hasn’t stopped Karzai from playing footsie with them, and even the Americans from nattering about “dialogue”. Madness…

    More:

    It marked the Aziz-Kerry ministerial meeting discussed varied issues from cooperation in energy sector to building foundation for inclusive economic growth.
    ……………………………….

    In other words, ‘give us Jizya, filthy Infidels”.

    More:

    Secretary Kerry and Adviser Aziz also recognised the potential for enhanced stability and prosperity from improved bilateral relations between Pakistan and India.
    ……………………………….

    As long as india ignore those Jihad attacks, all will be well….

    The US money to Pakistan to fight Taliban but instead funneled by Pakistan to the Taliban was started by US dimmy Carter Zbigniew Brzezinski’s policy to fight the frm Soviet Union in Afghanistan by their leftish Islamic proxy Mujahedeen.
    The Afghan Mujahedeen received billions of USD and Stinger rockets from the CIA just like Obama and Clinton had ambassador Chris Stevens smuggle Surface to Air missiles from Al Qaeda affiliates in Benghazi Libya to Al Qaeda in Syria via Turkey.
    The Mujahedeen afterwards was destroyed by the US of neo-cons like Zbigniew Brzezinski in the Reagan and CIA H.M. Bush administration through Zia ul Haq (who reintroduced Islam in Pakistan) and later the Pakistan secret service ISI inventing a Pakistan Taliban and exporting these to Afghanistan.
    The defeat of the Red Army in Afghanistan by the CIA proxy was their perceived trigger for the Soviet Union to collapse.
    The collapse of the SU liberated Eastern European countries like that of the polish Zbigniew Brzezinski to become cheap labor for Western Germany thus laying the fundament for the European Union that will be abolished by Geert Wilders, Marine le Pen, Nigel Farage etc.

    This makes me so damned mad I want to spit! (Actually, what I want to say would most definitely NOT be polite and might upset those with delicate constitutions – and I might get banned again.) And again U.S. citizens – or should I say SUBJECTS – are powerless to stop this outright theft that is pushing us farther and farther into bankruptcy into the foreseeable future and beyond. GRRRRRRRRRRR!
