Comedy gold: Pakistani political, military leaders pledge to eliminate terrorism

Aug 9, 2014 10:59 am By Robert Spencer

Nawaz-Sharif-happyThe New York Times stated back in 2008: “The idea that Pakistan’s military and intelligence agencies could simultaneously be aiding the Taliban and like-minded militants while taking money from the United States is not as far-fetched as it may seem.” Indeed. It wasn’t far-fetched then, and since then came Pakistan’s outrage over the bin Laden killing, the allegations that the ISI was involved in the Mumbai jihad murders, and more. And now they are pledging to eliminate terrorism — translation: Mr. Obama, Please send money.

“Pak political, military leaders pledge to eliminate terrorism,” Press Trust of India, August 9, 2014:

Pakistan political leaders and military top brass today discussed security situation in the country, especially in the wake of military operation in restive North Waziristan, and pledged to evolve a strategy to eliminate terrorism and extremism on long term basis.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif chaired a meeting of National Security Conference, comprising heads and representatives of all major political parties in National Assembly and the military leadership at his residence.

In a statement issued at the end of the day-long discussion, the civil-military leaders showed commitment to fight militancy till its end.

“It was noted with pleasure that the whole nation including political parties had rejected terrorists and their ideology. Representatives of all political and religious parties agreed that state has to fight and eliminate militancy,” it said.

“There was absolute unanimity of views on the need to evolve a strategy to eliminate terrorism on long term basis. The meeting also agreed to work to address extremism,” the statement said.

In the meeting, Director General Military Operations Major General Amir Riaz briefed the political leadership about the military operation Zarb-e-Azb in the North Waziristan tribal region.

It was the first briefing since the launch of the military operation on June 15 in which more than 600 militants and over 35 soldiers have been killed. The operation has also displaced about one million people.

The participants of the conference were informed about the areas cleared by the armed forces during the operation.

“The conference was also told that the terrorists are on the run and their command and control system had been crippled,” it said.

The meeting was informed that the stated policy of the armed forces during Zarb-e-Azb was to ensure no collateral damage and protect the life and property of innocent civilians.

    Nice effort, but I doubt Monty Phyton are hiring… Also, the “terrorists are on the run” joke was already done by Obama:

    Why doesn’t Pakistan just declare this terrorism is simply Islam at work, nothing more, nothing less. That way terrorism as a problem disappears and it’s just Islam- advancing its cause, purifying itself by killing the less “righteous”, doing the work of Allah /Satan.

      Simple! Because “war is deceit”.

    Keep on sending the billions of aid dollars, Kaffirs. We need a few more palaces in Qatar. Fighting terrorism is hard work and a little R and R with all those Filipina and Indonesian” house maids” keeps us focused on the job in hand.

    I though Bangladesh had more pressing problems, like
    averting starvation, to worry about. Allegiance to this Islamic crap
    is not going to feed a single Bang child.

    The US declared terrorist and master mind of Mumbai terror attacks, Hafeez Sayeed is roaming freely across Pakistan spewing venom on India…How could the Pak Govt., and the military (who are indirectly supporting JuD) eliminate the terrorists…?

    There are too many Pakistani politicians with links to the Taliban infested city of P—shower

    Terrorism is the killing of a Muslim without right. Sure, they’ll eliminate terrorism.
