United States President Barack Obama would approve a new incursion into Pakistan if the US found another leading militant there, he said in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) broadcast on Sunday. Asked if Obama would carry out a similar operation to the one that killed Osama bin Laden if the US discovered another “high-value target” in Pakistan or another country, such as a senior al Qaeda member or Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar, he said he would “take the shot”, Reuters reported.
“We are very respectful of the sovereignty of Pakistan, but we cannot allow someone who is actively planning to kill our people or our allies’ people, we can’t allow those kind of active plans to come to fruition without us taking some action,” Obama told the BBC. “I had made no secret. I had said this when I was running for the presidency, that if I had a clear shot at bin Laden, that we’d take it,” he added. Presidential Spokesman Farhatullah Babar said in response to Obama’s remarks: “We need to move away from unilateral actions and should focus on cooperation in countering terrorism.” He declined to comment further.
Obama’s comments echoed those of US Senator John Kerry, who said earlier this month that Washington would consider all its options. Commenting on Obama’s statement, Spokeswoman for Pakistan’s Foreign Office Tehmina Janjua said Pakistan and the US had recently agreed that in future, joint operation would be conducted by the forces of both countries if it was considered necessary, Online news agency reported.
Any who can wipe out the terrorists should be welcomed. Although, it is a duty of our security forces to execute the job, but they are busy safeguarding the strategic depth and assets.
Please educate the people about the concept of sovereignty. You cannot feed the jihadists and demand respect from the international community at the same time.
GOD will replicate the destruction of America like America is doing to innocent humanity around the world especially Muslim world.It would be lost continent sunk under the sea.Mills of nature grind slow but finest and very soon.
Obama do not pass the buck of your crimes onto others.You were,are the biggest terrorists production center since Afghan-USSR war.You funded it and got it funded by every rich Muslim state and Pakistan by producing Mujaheddin in millions to oust Soviets from Afghanistan.Osama,children schools where funded by you all and now you blame others.You may have by now spent 100 trillion dollars to exterminate them unsuccessfully.Your modus operndi is failing your economy.Better come to peaceful means to resolve the issue and leave Afghanistan sooner than possible to let peace and prosperity come to world.
