Islamabad : General David Petraeus, Commander, United States Central Command, has said that Pakistan is not waging American war but it is their own war.
General Petraeus ended his visit in Islamabad on Tuesday visiting with Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines who are assigned to the Office of Defense Representative to Pakistan prior to visiting civilian and military officials in the city of Peshawar, the U.S embassy said.
When commenting about the discussions with Pakistan Governmental officials about the nature of threat, General Petraeus stated, “In general there is mutual agreement on the nature of the threat in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, a threat that they increasingly see as a threat to Pakistan’s existence. This is not our war that Pakistan is waging. This is their war and it is a result of extremists carrying out acts of truly indiscriminate violence,” according to a U.S embassy statement General Petraeus completed his first official visit abroad since assuming command on October 31.
During his visit he met with both senior Pakistan civilian and military leadership, discussing a wide range of topics from Pakistani sovereignty, the nature of the Al Qaeda threat within the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), to the long-standing and ever increasing mutual cooperation between the two nations.
