In an interview that seemed to gloss over the large number of outraged Pakistanis railing against American policy, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton termed her three day visit to Pakistan last week “overwhelmingly positive.”
Though her first comments in the wake of the visit were an exasperated claim that “we’re not getting through” to the Pakistanis, she insisted today that her comments, which amounted to little more than sloganeering, had succeeded in “building a stronger base for our relationship.”
Secretary Clinton moreover claimed that while Pakistanis “had this sort of pent-up frustration against the US,” she had remedied that because she “listened, understood and tried to convoy answers.”
During her visit, Pakistanis complained about the massive number of civilian deaths caused by US drone attacks. Clinton’s answer, such as it was, was that “there’s a war going on.” If that convinced anyone, it sure hasn’t shown in recent polls, as Pakistanis seem to blame the US more than any other single power as the source of the nation’s conflicts.
next week she will probably tell us how brave she was to dodge sniper fire as she brought the gift of democracy to these poor backwards people who some how have not grown up to the point that they know when some one is killed by the united states that means they are guilty
I wonder what color the sky is in Hilliary's world?
this woman is insufferable.
Jeesus….. talk about suffering from delusions!
At least we see Hillary for who she is more clearly. One of the great villains of American history. Obama needs to wake up and fire her.
If nothing else, Hillary provides some much needed comic relief despite being a colorless, charmless hag. This rather unfortunate lady is representing our nation to the world. Is this the best we can manage?
We're doomed.
honestly i miss bush… at least you could get a laugh….
