In a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations today, Sen. Carl Levin (D – MI) urged the US to threaten to cut all ties with the Pakistani government to punish them over “direct support” for terrorist groups like the Haqqani Network.
“We should inform Pakistan that it should not expect to normalize its relationship with the United States so long as it provides safe haven,” Levin insisted, adding he had “evidence” of that support for the Haqqanis.
That allegation will prove particularly embarrassing for Sen. Levin, with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton saying that the US had no solid evidence whatsoever to back up its allegations.
Likewise, the repeated rebukes from US officials have led the Pakistani government not so much to believe that it would harm relations, but that the US might launch a ground invasion, something the administration is so far denying.
Dear Senator Comb-over:
Don't be writing checks with your mouth that your sorry ass can't cash. The US probably should severe all ties with Pakistan. I'm certain that the Chinese will take very good care of Pakistan.
Ummm, Senator Comb-over? How does the US plan on getting supplies into Afghaniscam? Just wondering.
respectfully but, not so much,
skulz
Ummm… Where talking about the Senator who called the Iran false flag operation an act of war. What else should we expect from him?
This is the best one can expect from the USG.All I wish as Pakistani is may your words come TRUE,VERY VERY TRUE.After 10 years of carrying your mess on our shoulders,killing more than 40 thousands civilians and solidiers and the counting still goes on.with the economic ruiness with loss of more than 70 billions dollars,that is the best thing ever can happen to us.Your sanctions is our FREEDOM,cutting ties will do much more than that, it will bring the long lost PEACE and once that has established we will find our way back to good old days,Senator We will not disappiont you just keep working hard making your dream of cutting ties True.
If only Pakistan could be so lucky. He doesn't mean it of course. He is just trying to point out how "lucky" Pakistan is for being ruled by DC. He is asking all the peons of Pakistan to bend down and kiss the emperor's feet.
MMM, and watch the fuel bill of the US military in Afghanistan SKYROCKET when they HAVE to fly in supplies via Kazakstan. Its expenxive enough to have it shipped in via Pakistan now.
I suppose the US could ask the Iranians for supplies, ROTFLMAO
Look Ma, it's all mine!
Senator Levin should propose a motion in the Senate that the US stops all cross border operations into a sovereign Pakistan. The USA, just like Israel, disregards the international principle of sovereign borders whenever they deem it to be in their interest. Breaking all ties with Pakistan would be a good thing if it also led to the cessations of drone-play in the backyards of the Pakistanis.
The whole world should cut ties with the US Government as long as it’s under Israeli occupation.
For once I agree with that creep. Cutting ties with Pakistan (whatever that means) is probably good for Pakistan and the US. Leave them alone, one country less to obsess about.
The US should cut ties with Senator Levin.
Lewin is a dumb clot.
Pakistan will be a million times better off if the USG butted out of their affairs
