The US Congress has held weeklong discussion as to how to adopt a joint plan and principles for joint strategy with Afghanistan to prepare for the approval and the consensus of which countries is necessary for this strategy? US President Barack Obama has sought the opinion of the American Congress on these questions. At last, Obama got the consent of Afghan President Hamid Karzai and on those in the United States whom he needed. Only the neighboring countries of Afghanistan have said that they do not agree with the United States about the joint strategy on Afghanistan.
Setting Up of Joint Commission
Although Pakistan because of some problems has not openly said something about the strategy of the United States on Afghanistan yet Islamabad wanted to exchange its views with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and other Afghan authorities about restoration of complete peace in Afghanistan. Afghan Olasi Jirga (National Assembly) faces opposition and questions about this joint strategy. The United States has delayed the topic of joint strategy. The political debates have started and media is giving wide coverage to rockets firing, attacks and militants' infiltration from Afghanistan, attacks on police checkpoints in Pakistani territory and allegations against each other and finally the two countries have agreed over setting up of a joint commission for resolution to the issues. This indicates that such decisions about US-Afghan joint strategy may not take place which continued in the past.
Political analysts of Afghan affairs have given the reason of this silence that neither the Afghan nation nor the entire officials in the Afghan Government have agreed over this joint strategy. They added, the neighboring countries of Afghanistan have also adopted silence on this joint strategy of the United States until improvement in the situation.
Legal Status in Future
It may be noted that the president of any country could not sign any agreement with another country, which is opposed by his parliament and if he signs it, it will have no legal status in the future. As far as the matter of expressing views in the Afghan Olasi Jirga is concerned, the US media, intelligence and other sources are trying to convince the members of the Afghan parliament to have unanimous views about the US-Afghan joint strategy, which also includes the establishment of permanent bases in Afghanistan.
Role of Pakistan
However, Iran has openly opposed the setting up of United States permanent bases and joint cooperation with Afghanistan. Expressing his views, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad said at a press conference in Tehran that the United States wanted to establish permanent bases in Afghanistan to ensure its permanent presence in the region. The United States has rejected each and every Iranian opinion about Afghanistan. Because of its problems, the United States could not clear its position with regard to Pakistan as the United States defeated the forces of former Soviet Union with the support and cooperation of Pakistan.
Although the silence is being observed about the United States joint strategy about Afghanistan, there is concern that this silence may break up because of the agreement of some people, who favor the United States.
