Mother in Law Hillary Clinton and the End Game in Afghanistan
In this episode of the Truth Serum: The misbalanced, wobbly and distrustful relationship between Pakistan and the United States continues to trudge along. The United States’ stick and carrot approach with simultaneous warnings and appeals for help continue to baffle the Pakistanis. The best response to the U.S. government’s strategy came not from the Pakistani Government or any official but from an ordinary citizen who labeled Clinton and the U.S. as the always demanding and never satisfied Mother in Law. Still the end game in Afghanistan is very much on the minds of U.S. officials and tri lateral talks are under way to formalize the U.S. troop exit from the region. Pakistan’s preference is to declare cease fire in Afghanistan and to draw all warring parties to the table while the U.S. position seems to be to talk and fight at the same time. For the Pakistanis the demanding mother-in-law’s trip is about to come to an end and they are excitedly helping her back the bags for now. In their estimation all problems will subside once they leave. But this past decade has left them with a huge militancy and extremism problem which is still unraveling. Can their weak government and their increasingly stretched army withstand these challenges?
