Afghanistan: "Architects of the endgame''

By:M K Bhadrakumar
"To be sure, Taliban sense victory. And so does Pakistan. The US is in a hurry to disengage from the war but remains a stakeholder in regional security. The similarity with the Geneva talks in the run-up to the withdrawal of the Soviet forces in Afghanistan is striking. Pakistan is on the lookout for a settlement on its terms failing which it prefers to sit out for the foreign forces to leave (which is inevitable in the very near future) so that it has a freer hand to choreograph the future Afghan power structure."
