U.S. designates Haqqani network a terrorist organization
The Haqqani network’s Afghan warlords, who are based in Pakistan’s border area, have attacked U.S. troops and Afghanistan civilians.

September 07, 2012

WASHINGTON — The State Department on Friday designated Pakistan’s Haqqani network a foreign terrorist organization, opening the way for the use of new tools to thwart a complex enemy that has attacked American troops and Afghan civilians while operating much like an organized crime family.

The move by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton came after lengthy debate within the Obama administration, with some officials worried that the designation would make it harder to negotiate a peace settlement with the Haqqanis and their Taliban allies. But negotiations have gone nowhere, and the CIA has been launching drone strikes at Haqqani targets, including an attack last month that killed Badruddin Haqqani, son of the group’s leader and a member of its governing council.

(snip)

A senior administration official, who declined to be quoted by name when speaking about a sensitive diplomatic matter, said the terrorist designation did not prohibit American officials from talking with the Haqqanis, a clan of Afghan Pashtun warlords based in Pakistan’s tribal areas who operate across the border in Afghanistan.

[melancholy]

“Has Obama designated any group as such?”

I don’t think so.

[melancholy]

“Perchance, do you have a link for that? Wondering about the ramifications outside of Egypt.”

I’m sorry, no. I heard it on Own TV live feed.

[Truth2012]

I have been watching that for a little while and I have no idea what they are saying, but those women sound like they are freaking out..

I wish I could figure out what is unfolding.

[thouworm]

LOL! Leave it to you.... Those infected mosquitoes won’t be touching the anointed oligarchs. Obama has deemed it so.

As for draining the cesspool, that’s a delicate job for the higher-ordered, high-functioning species-— who must also meet the criteria that they are comatose, immune from bribery and blackmail and comprehend that the assignment has nothing to do with mosquitoes. THEY are in short supply...so it’s a race against time. The virus is spreading like wildfire.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

U.S. designates Haqqani network...

I believe that's Hockonny in the Merckin spelling.

You gotta have a "u" after yer "q", and you never have two "q"s in a row.

[melancholy]

I don’t see a seat.

Just wondering if it’s a custom made bike.

[Truth2012]

I saw a post from someone post on twitter, from the Mosque, telling the #WhiteHouse to hurry up with help.

I wonder if they are surprised that there is no American/Obama help??

Were they promised help?

[SevenofNine]
