A Senate Armed Services Committee centering on Pakistan was held today, leading a number of top Senators, including committee chair Carl Levin (D – MI) to rail against the Pakistani government, and accuse them of harboring terrorists.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R – SC) questioned Vice Admiral William McRaven, who headed the raid against the Pakistani city of Abbotabad, about the presence of Mullah Omar in the country, leading McRaven to say that not only did the military believe Omar is in Pakistan, but that he believes that the Pakistani government “know” he is. This led to further speculation about Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) agency knowingly keeping the locations of US-sought militants a secret.
This led to more calls from the Senators to withdraw aid from the Zardari government, following up demands from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for “changes” if the government wanted to continue receiving US aid.
The US and Pakistani governments have seen relationships progressively worsen throughout the year, starting with the arrest of a US consulate official turned CIA spy for a double murder in Lahore in January and continuing with anger on both sides over unilateral raids and the Pakistani government’s inability to successfully crush the various militant groups across the nation.
I watched that exercise in blatant stupidity this very day on C-SPAN. What a comedy of hypocritical error that was. Might Sen. Lindsey Graham be comprehensively brain-dead?
I mean, remember back in the day and Hamid Karzai held 'Mullah Omar' in Karzai custody? Oh yes our bestest buddy anywhere surely did. CNN covered every last thrilling detail of that mesmerizing stunner. And most of Amerika hardly even blinked.
So now, Graham sits atop the Imperial US Senate Committee for Profound Ignorance and merely proves the premise. Yes indeed, US Senators ARE as stupid as they profess themselves to be.
Craven and corrupt too.
Lindsey Graham is not exactly brain dead. He just doesn't have much to work with, being an in-bred throw-back with an I.Q of 64. He should be tried for criminal incompetence or else institutionalized for being a dangerous sociopath (psychopath).
Nevertheless, I would love for the senate (Parliament of Fowles) to cut off aid to Pakistan. That would be the most noticeable example of cutting off one's nose to spite ones face ever.
It would end the U.S. war in Afganistan, which would be a good thing, and it might just send a number of war hawks into despair.
Yeah! Go ahead, please. Please,please, please cut off all aid to the Pakistanis.I can't wait to see how the Washington rats would abandon ship by the multitudes.

In the eye of evil ever one is either evil or as evil is.
This is the tragedy of american administration that they rely only on lies and blame game i.e. pakistan is a banana republic, americans are very sherude and can force every thing actually they did and purchased Zardari.
He is killing pakistanis like flies and american have no respect for human lifes. This is their history they killed miliions of people starting from their own country and then in 20th. century and 21 century they have been killer number one.
I would personally prefer that pakistan stops co-operation in killings with america and should charge money for logistic, transport, security etc. and in this way they can get ten times more money than to beg.
With america we should be as brutal as the american administration is. They are senseless cruel cold murdere of civilians.
Aaaaah, Carl Levin, an anointed Chosen One. We're in good hands.
It's becoming more and more clear that the impetus now is in preparing for the collapse (intentional and aided by the NATO conspirators no doubt) of the Pakistani government – wherein the whores from NATO will declare that an imminent humanitarian disaster is about to occur and to stem the onrushing calamity, well…NATO must seize control – in the name of mercy and just being a damn good neighbor. Not to mention protecting those pesky nukes the Paks have laying around in poorly protected arsenals.
Thanks so much for the information!! I know it’s going to open some eyes.
If Bulger can hide for 15 years without the knowledge of US officials why can't Osama hide for 5? Bulger was caught in a Santa Barbra apartment — would they drone Santa Barbra for sheltring Bulger? He was an FBI guy gone bad, Osama was a CIA/ISI guy gone bad. How do you catch a guy without knowing where he is, particularly if he or his wives don't venture out without a burka.
