Agence France-Presse December 9, 2009 US threatens to chase Taliban into Pakistan WASHINGTON: The US has warned the government that its forces will chase Taliban forces into Pakistan if Islamabad does not get tough with the insurgents, The New York Times reported on Tuesday. Citing unnamed US and Pakistani officials, the newspaper said the blunt message was delivered in November when national security adviser James Jones and White House counterterrorism chief John Brennan met with the heads of the military and intelligence. “Jones’s message was if that Pakistani help wasn’t forthcoming, the United States would have to do it themselves,” an unnamed official told the Times. That could mean the US expanding drone attacks beyond the Tribal Areas and special forces raids in Pakistan against Al Qaeda and Taliban leaders, the officials said. “I think they read our intentions accurately,” a senior US administration official said. US officials said the message was intended to press the Pakistani military to pursue Taliban insurgents. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: rwroz...@yahoo.com or stopnato-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Daily digest option available. ==============================
