Long stretched to their breaking point, ties between the United States and Pakistan look to have frayed dramatically overnight as NATO warplanes and helicopters attacked a pair of Army bases in Pakistan’s Mohmand Agency, killing at least 28 soldiers.
“This is an attack on Pakistan’s sovereignty,” Prime Minister Gilani declared, and the Pakistani government has already halted all supplies to NATO troops in Afghanistan in protest over the attack.
NATO spokesmen, for their part, appear mostly ambivalent about the killings, saying that NATO warplanes had been called in due to an “incident” near the border and that it was “highly likely” they attacked Pakistan’s bases during the course of that operation.
Pakistan’s Army has promised to launch an “effective response” to NATO’s attack, saying it was unprovoked and uncalled for. The foreign ministry says it will issue a complaint in the “strongest terms” to NATO for the killings.
Nothing a few more dollars in "foriegn aid" won't fix. When you sell your sovereignty to the US empire it's very hard to get control over your own country anymore.
Yup, I'm sure the neoturds will tell us they hate us for our "freedumbs."
Something like this can't possible have anything to do with it, right?
But hey, our murder in chief is not known as Barrack O'bombThem for nothin'. If I could ask Obammie a question it would be, "Why can't you just leave the brown people alone? Why must you be genocidal"
I actually don't blame NATO. The NATO butchers can't help themselves. Muder is what they're all about. Murder for the sake of murder. That's all they know, that's all they do.
I blame the Pakastani government. What did they think was going to happen when they let bloodthirsty, criminally insane psychopaths have the run of their country? The people of Pakistan must be starting to realize by now that their own government has complicity in all this senseless butchery.
The only question is, was this particular mass murder a calculated move intended to destabilize the Pakastani government, or was this just a case of NATO's inherent evil getting in the way of its calculated evil? IOW, did the bank robber rape the girl he happened to see (while making his getaway from the bank) just because he's evil and can't help himself, or did he do it just to antagonize the cops and further humiliate the society he so despises?
You can never tell with psychopaths, but in this case, it's possible that our Judeo-fascist ZOG Empire is trying to create a pretext whereby it can seize Pakistan's nuclear arsenal in anticipation of the upcoming "Clash of Civilizations" it intends to start.
"The foreign ministry says it will issue a complaint in the “strongest terms” to NATO for the killings."
Complain….. that is all Pakistani Govt is going to do and therefore, they deserve the position that they are in.
Ian, cutting off the supply route is a seems like a good start. Let´s see if they keep it closed.
My one word for Pakistan and America. DISCONNECT.
Talk about setting up the very destabilization you seek in order to foment another crisis and thus further your excuses for what you do. The dialectic has been busy.
If present trends continue, before the end of the decade we will see such attacks along the US-Mexico border. It will escalate in such small increments, and always against "bad" guys, that there will be little controversy until "regrettable" (but inevitable) mistakes are made, killing innocent families who somehow fit the profile of bad guys, and from time to time our own police, soldiers, and border patrollers.
This is a major catastrophe in Pakistan, yet not a mention of it on all the Sunday morning talk shows. The talking heads are all dressed nicely in their suits as they talk about who's ahead in the Presidential race, or who endorsed who.
America's leaders and opinion makers are a bunch of homicidal maniacs.
Pakistan's air force should also attack NATO's troops and say "it was highly unlikely they attacked NATO troops".
if pakistan attacks on nato than it will leads towards a major disaster..and pakistani nation or soldiers never have fear of dead …..Nobody has yet found a way of bombing that can prevent foot soldiers from walking.
Better a thousand times to die with glory than live without honor.
i am a pakistani nd i fnk pakistani started hating american nationals more then any other nation in dis world…..this is not because pakistanis have some thing personal with them…..but itx because american military or nato never respect our feelingx…..so they are takin these nato attacks as american national attacks……and secondly about our leaders….m speechless….our leaders are just sellin there ppl blood for the sake of american politician war on terror….
