Channel News Asia: Pakistan, Afghanistan vow to curb terrorism as Karzai meets Musharraf

ISLAMABAD : Afghan President Hamid Karzai met with Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf for talks on eradicating Al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters from their common border, a key issue in his bid for re-election.

Karzai and Musharraf held "an exclusive" one-on-one meeting ahead of formal talks between two sides, an official statement said.

"They reiterated the two countries' common commitment to fighting terrorism in the interests of sustainable socio-economic development of the region," it said.

Give diplomacy a chance, Don. Glad to hear your hypocrisy is alive and well...

No diplomacy involved there, V.

Neither of those two nations has any Actual Control over the Terrists in their midst, one way or another.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
