In his testimony before a Congressional committee Adm Mike Mullen said that Pakistan's ISI is supporting the Haqqani network actively. This has prompted angry denials by Paki Ministers and Gen Kayani and warning of withdrawal of support by the Foreign Minister. This is the same tactic Pakistan has adopted successfully for years when accused of ISI support for the LeT. In 2007 after a meeting at Teri Mangal in Pakistan, which had seemed to end amicably, Pakistani military and intelligence opened fire without provocation killing one US major and wounding 3 US officers and their Afghan interpreter. Pakistanis denied that their officers had been responsible blaming the incident on a rogue soldier or islamic militants. The Americans hushed up the shooting as they have deluded themselves over the years that they cannot live without Paki help. On Sept 13, a Taliban attack on the US embassy in Kabul plus the NATO HQ resulted in the deaths of 25 people. Three days earlier a truck of a NATO outpost injured 77. The Americans apparently have apparently shown evidence of ISI involvement to the Pakis as India has done many times before. Still Pakistan continues to deny and threaten as before. Seems that the US has been convinced of ISI duplicity after the killing of Bin Laden in Abbottabad. Why totally blind? Why do the Americans refuse to recognise that the ISI planned and executed the 9/11 attacks. It would have been impossible for Bin Laden hiding in a cave in Tora Bora without telephone or cell phone to have organised such a complicated operation. Pakistan will brazen it out as long as the world remains deliberately stupid. Face the truth.
