US want military presence from Pakistan in Afghanistan, claims ex-ISI chief
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The former chief of the military intelligence of Pakistain, Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), Asad Durrani has claimed that the United States wants military in Afghanistan from Pakistain.

In an interview with the Russia Today, US wants Pakistain to establish and maintain a military presence in Afghanistan but will not pay for the cost of such an expedition.

Durrani went on to claim that there has been no change in the new US policy, apparently guestuirng that Washington was supposed to prioritize peace and stability in the country and region rather than opting military presence.

"Essentially the policy remains the same and that is you have to dig in Afghanistan, stay there, keep the bases, keep the military presence. That is more important than either peace there or settlement there," he added.

He aso ruled out that Pakistain is dependent to America as he was gesturing towards the recent US decisions to reduce military help to Pakistain.

You are the personification of evil in the region, your games and schemes are destroying your country and all around it in the name of what?
