The most senior US military officer has accused Pakistan's spy agency of supporting the Haqqani group in planning and conducting last week's attack on the US embassy in Kabul.

"The Haqqani network... acts as a veritable arm of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Agency," Adm Mike Mullen told a Senate panel. In July he said Pakistan sanctioned the killing of journalist Saleem Shahzad.

Pakistan's government called that statement "irresponsible".

Pakistani officials have consistently denied links with militant groups.

'Credible intelligence'

At least 25 people died during the 20-hour attack on the US embassy, Nato headquarters and police buildings in Kabul on 22 September. The dead included 11 civilians, among them children, along with at least four police and 10 insurgents.

"With ISI support, Haqqani operatives planned and conducted a truck bomb attack, as well as the assault on our embassy," said Adm Mullen, who steps down this month as chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"We also have credible intelligence that they were behind the 28 June attack against the Inter-Continental Hotel in Kabul and a host of other smaller but effective operations."

Its really not very difficult to size you up. You don't do too well with facts and reasoning. Personal attacks an flame war are what you do best.

Have fun.

"No mister retard, that is not what I said you were wrong about."

From your post 26 to me:

"You are still wrong. The Taliban was created and they came into power in Afghanistan under her watch."

Yeah, I think it is not me that has a reading comprehension problem. It is you who have a writing comprehension problem. If you hate posting to me, why are you always responding to me? You're still a knucklehead...

[ravager]

I wrote a whole lot more in my post then just that one line you are fixated on. Sorry but you are the only knucklehead on this thread.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

You can never admit when you’re wrong. Just like the last time you posted to me. That’s your problem, along with communicating in the English language apparently. Knucklehead

[ravager]

You are just a stubborn senile old yeller. I will just let you go.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

I may be old, but at least I can admit when I’m wrong. Oh, and I have reading comprehension. Another thing you lack, knucklehead...

[ravager]

You just proved my point.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"You just proved my point."

That you can't admit when you're wrong? You're welcome.

We have made the mistake of thinking we can make nice with countries that really are our enemies.

"We" never made that mistake. Educate the mouth breathing half wits on the left.
