Pakistan Threatens To Stop Being Our Friends Unless We Stop Talking About Their Support For Islamic Militant Groups…
Pretty please? It will save us billions of dollars a year.
(National Journal) — Pakistan’s foreign minister blasted comments made by the top U.S. military commander, who said that the militant Haqqani network is essentially a “strategic arm” of Pakistan’s intelligence agency, and warned that Washington risks losing a key ally if the accusations continue.
During testimony on Capitol Hill on Thursday, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mike Mullen said Pakistani officials must stop their support for and protection of the Pakistan-based Haqqani network, which the U.S. blames for last week’s 20-hour assault on the U.S. Embassy and NATO headquarters in Kabul, Afghanistan. Mullen went so far to say the country was “exporting terrorism.”
In response, Pakistan’s foreign minister, Hina Rabbani Khar, stressed that the U.S. has never provided any evidence that Pakistan’s military spy agency has been aiding the Haqqani network. “You cannot afford to alienate Pakistan; you cannot afford to alienate the Pakistani people,” Khar said. “If you are choosing to do so, and if they are choosing to do so, it will be at [the United States'] own cost.”
“Pointing fingers at each other will not help,” she told an Indian news channel while in New York for the United Nations meetings this week. “We’ve never ventured into the blame game because we want to be a mature, responsible country.” Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency has long claimed to have cut off its ties with the Haqqanis, a group it supported during the 1980s war in Afghanistan, according to The Wall Street Journal.

I will be burning flags from countries that hate us on November 25th (their new year). I have flags from Iran, Pakistan, Yemen, Sudan, Libya, and a few more. I will soak them in pig fat first for a big slap in their face to boot. Photos will be forth coming.
It’s absolutely mind boggling that these camel humpers have access to hundreds of nuclear weapons.
Wait, Pakistan is an ally? Your kidding me right?
An ally would never harbor our enemies or trade with hostile countries.
Let’s face it Pakistan has been gaming the US for years. Let’s take our money and go home. One more pissed-off moslem country doesn’t make life any different.
Well, I don’t think that any of us were truly deluded enough to think that the Pakistanis were our ‘friends’ were we? They’re certainly not our ‘friends’ here in the UK, as demonstrated by a startling Muslim mob assault on three busloads of Catholic schoolchildren in the city of Bradford earlier this week. They all attend the same school, but things turned nasty after a discussion about religion in an RE class ended up with Muslims pelting the buses with bricks.

With jihadis, always a possibility of an on the job accident with those nukes.
Puck Fackistan.
We tried to cleverly use Pakistan (we can than our good friends Turkey for that hiccup) and they have eaten our lunch like a swarm of locusts since. We’ll have to deal with them down the road. Neanderthals with a football.
than s/b thank our good friends Turkey
It’s time I cut the fingernails…..when they overlap a 1/2 inch it’s time.
We can’t afford their friendship.
” Pakistan’s foreign minister … warned that Washington risks losing a key ally if the accusations continue. ”
= = = = =
Yeah, sure.
The “key ally” who let A. Q. Khan sell nuclear technology to Iran, Libya, and North Korea… (did I miss anybody?)
As far as I’m concerned, the only thing they’ve managed to do successfully is talk us into wasting billions of dollars in US foreign aid on them.
As a prior commenter almost kinda-sorta said, “Another pissed-off Muslim country. So, what’s new? “
Lets start burning a pakstaian flag if these camel jockeys want to burn ours
It would be easier to win in Afghanistan if we wiped out Pakistahhhhn too.
I say, bomb ‘em back to the stone age. Oh wait… .
When the shit goes down and it is getting close eg Palistinians want east Jerusalem. I believe the US will nuke Pakistan first and then Iran or whoever needs a good nuking (Russia).
Listen up China, we could nuke the dickens outta you. We prolly haffa.
We need a Presidential candidate that would say, “Fuck this shit”. We will just nuke the mutherfucking hell outta you.
Replace “Hope and Change” wit “Fuck this Shit”.
Replace HOPE & CHANGE with GET US BACK TO A REPUBLIC
We should pull all our people out of Afghanistan and Pakistan and get them safely out of harm’s way. Then sign a a very public 20-year Friendship Agreement with India. Eventually, India will retaliate against the recurrent provocations from Pakistan and in short order Pakistan (what’s left of it) will regress from medieval to prehistoric.
Some friends they’ve been: they hid Osama Bin Laden and kill our diplomats. Good riddance.
Oh, they also are complicit in selling our military secrets to the Chinese. Good riddance.
Yank the funding and let the bastards suffer.
Let’s roll a little C-4 into our flags and sell them over there. . .
Damn, who’s gonna keep me on hold for 55 minutes, when I call a help desk.
With Friends like them, who needs enemies..?
Not one more dime to a supposed ally that back stabs at every opportunity.
We need to halt all immigration of muslims, and start deportations of same.
Oh, and I refuse to capitalize muslim, the damned killers of humanity.
Pakistan threatens to pull stop being friends with the USA? Oh God! we’d have no convenience store cashiers then!
When exactly were they our friends? Fuck em. No more aid, let the bastards starve to death.
