Former army chief General (Retd) Pervez Musharraf has said that Pak-US relations have reached a critical stage and it's time Pakistan took a decisive action in this regard.

Speaking exclusively to Geo News on Aaj Kamran Khan Kay Saath, Musharraf said that the time has come for the army and ISI to come down the fence and decide to take or not to take action against Haqqani network.

Otherwise, things may take a turn for worse, he said, adding indecisiveness is not going to help the situation at all.

Musharraf went on to say that Pakistan should boldly take US into confidence on what's its (Pakistan's) take on the issue. They must tell Washington whether they want to bust Haqqani network, he said, adding, even if they don't want to then what is stopping them form doing it must be conveyed to US.

The Chinese would like Pakistan to move into Afghanistan as the de facto government (but still an occupying power) in order to keep its western provinces from getting more rebellious.

“Time to act on Haqqani menace: Musharraf”

Yeah right.... “time to act” huh? Musharraf himself propped up the Haqqani network in his “time”. Now he thinks its “time to act”. I think it is “time” for America to act..... against Pakistan!

What is stopping them? Pakistan is Taliban and Taliban is Pakistan. That's whats stopping them.
