Hagel is a conspiracy theory nut-job, all he does is talk about crazy racist theories that try to paint the Islamists as the victims and those who fight them as the problem.

He hates Jews. He hates Israel. He blames America for the terrorist attacks against it!
(Yes, that's what he is in fact saying when he talks about America being the "world's bully" and having a "dumb" foreign policy that makes it look like a bully!)

He defends Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran, and now PAKISTAN.
You know, the guys who hid Osama Bin Laden for several years!

This man is insane and his confirmation will hurt America's security.

If the Republicans in the Senate don't stand up to Obama now, then the catastrophic policies of this administration will be their fault as well!

Hagel has already been confirmed for SecDef.

Don't open the bubbly so soon buddy. We will make afgan hell for PA and Chinese as we have trained ANA officers and also told them as to how Durand line is a shame on Afgans and how they must reclaim their territory from Pakistan. Even if 10% of ANA officers buy our argument, Pak will be dismembered.
Why would China get involved in Af-Pak border disputes? Also, the loyalties, esprit de corps, and overall combat effectiveness of the ANA itself is highly questionable. They have a history of shooting their American allies in the back and suicide bombing their own bases. India will be disappointed, if that's the institution India hopes to use for influence in Afghanistan post-2014.

And you chinese, wud you want a war with India for Pakistan????????????
That has nothing to do with the original point here, unless you're somehow implying India would risk a war with Pakistan over Afghanistan, or that Afghanistan alone could cause the dissolution of the Pakistani state.

Nearly all Generals like Dostum etc remained our allies in Afgan. pashtoons are not so well educated as the Shias of afganistan. It is true about shias of Pakistan also. They are the people who make most of the officer core of ANA.

Given the history of ethnic strife in Afghanistan, why would enlisted Pashtuns obey Shia officers, especially if those orders involved shooting at Pakistanis?

So now you get it. Does this not mean that we can use shias to get even with Pakistan as nearly 20% population of Pakistan is Shia and most of it lives in Balochistan and Pak-Afgan border.

Obama and Hegal share same gut, the difference is Obama is too diplomatic and clever to admit it.

Obama wants closure to (perceived) USA's war against Islam and the reason could be as stated by Christian conspiracy theorist or simply because of the economy not backing up their plans.

So basically Om Baba wants someone to do the bitter talk in his stead and perhaps also take the shoe projectiles in his stead.
Smart eh ?? :D

No, because most Pakistani soldiers are not Balochi or Shia, while most ANA soldiers (especially the enlisted men who are actually doing the fighting and dying) are Pashtuns.

Also, the ratios are wrong: Pashtuns constitute 40% of Afghanistan and the larger Sunni grouping is close to 80%; while Balochis and Shias only constitute 20% of Pakistan. Ergo, India cannot use Balochis to get even with Pakistan in the same way that Pakistan can use Pashtuns to essentially rule over Afghanistan.

This is not even accounting for the fact that the ISI, Hamid Karzai, and most Afghani warlords have links going back decades...

Are you sure you want nuclear weapons to fall into the hands of people who believe in martyrdom as a state policy?

How about asking the same question with a small change..If India and Russia requires Afghanistan to block the channel for Chinese supplies, do u think they will lend support to China?

Just to let you know the ground reality, In Afghanistan, Indian diaspora and India as a country enjoy the most popular standing compared to any other country in the world (including US) while your best friend in bed - Pakistan gets the worst ratings. And don't expect all the countries to be in China's favor.
a separate thread says India has irked Iran by halting import of its crude. consequently India'd better forget A'stan entirely needlss to bother abt this "strategy" thing. with Iran suspending Indian gateway to A'stan it'll be exclusive for SCO aka Ruski+Chini plus PAK + Iran in an post NATO era

ITT: Chinese members hyping SCO, when it is in fact nothing but a paper-tiger organization formed to give the Chinese and Russians some sense of supremacy.
