Speaking today on the Today Show, House Speaker John Boehner (R – OH) warned that the US and Pakistan are facing a “make-or-break” moment in their relations, saying it was vital to repair the increasingly worsening ties.
US-Pakistani relations have been worsening for months, since the arrest of CIA agent Raymond Davis over a double murder in Lahore. Since then, disputes over US drone strikes were lingering, and now the bin Laden raid has added a new urgency.
This is particularly because the White House has insisted the raid was not a special case but was indicative of a policy of “reserving the right” to launch unilateral attacks into Pakistan on the president’s say-so. The Zardari government has warned it reserves the right to respond militarily to future raids.
The prospect of such attacks becoming normal across Pakistan has many up in arms, and has led to calls from opposition leader and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for the nation to “review” its relationship with the United States.
Reminds me of the 'Roots' scenario when Kunta Kinte refuses to be called 'Toby'. Looks to me as if PM Sharif doesn't want to be called Toby, or at least he says he doesn't. This is the 'break' moment when Toby maybe needs a beating. Be sure Mr. PM Sharif is already aware that the master 'reserves the right' to administer a beating, no matter what the other slaves are muttering under their breath. For Mr. Boehner the 'make' moment will be when the Pak government repeats a hundred times "Yes Massuh. I'se Toby." This sure is some intense 'relationship' that the master is peddling by means of his overseers both Rep. and Dem., black and white.
Excuse me, Mr. Boner, but what is there to make or break? This is nothing more than a dysfunctional relationship between an abuser and its victim. Any break (something I seriously doubt) will be highly advantageous to the people of Pakistan.
Its unbelivably stupid that the US keeps polcys that make them more hated every day and creates more terrorists.Most want pease but the USG they are going to bie off more than they can chew and innocents on both sides are going to die and be maimed.The USG don't care they will be vsafe in bunkers with there famillys well there policys kill people including there own citizens not that thery care.After all if you study 9/11 with an open mind you will be left without a shadow of a dought that it was an inside job.That is why they won't let a real investigation happen.Bush might as well adimited to it by makind some sort of law that no matter the proff he can not be charged.Please America wake up.
The shouting match between Pakistan and the US is part of the script to cover up the bogus bin Laden raid. Like professional wresling, the shouting match was planned and rehersed well in advance of the bogus raid for the purpose of diverting the sheeple's attention and prevent them from asking more embarassing questions. Like why didn't you show us the body instead of dumping it in the ocean.
