Karzai directly accused Pakistan of supporting Taliban

Hamid Karzai has directly accused Pakistan of supporting the Taliban:

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- President Hamid Karzai directly accused Pakistan's government Tuesday of supporting the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan, hours after a suicide attacker exploded himself in an Afghan governor's compound, killing eight.

... "The problem is not Taliban," Karzai told foreign journalists during a trip to Kandahar, the Taliban's former stronghold. "We don't see it that way. The problem is with Pakistan.''

He said the Taliban took power with support from Pakistan, calling it "more than a boss.''

"The state of Pakistan was supporting the Taliban, so we presume if there is still any Taliban, that they are being supported by a state element.''

Relations between Karzai and Musharaff have been pretty tense before, but these sound like fighting words. Isn't it nice that our allies get along so well?
