In comments today, Pakistani Prime Minister Yousef Raza Gilani cautioned that the US was risking fueling anti-American sentiment across Pakistan with its continued allegations that the Haqqani Network is a de facto wing of Pakistan’s military.
He also said the threats for a ground invasion of Pakistan’s tribal areas were “disturbing” and that any such invasion would be a “violation of our soveignty.” He added that such threats were not appropriate to make toward allies and that he warned Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that an invasion was “not acceptable to Pakistan.”
US officials have repeatedly hinted at unilateral ground action against the Haqqani Network, and over the weekend Sen. Lindsey Graham (R – SC) claimed there was “broad bipartisan support” in Congress for invading Pakistan.
Interesting, the US claim that the Haqqanis are under Pakistani control took a major hit today, as the Afghan Taliban claimed that they are actually in control of the network.
White House spokesman Jay Carney today insisted that the prospect of revoking all aid to Pakistan isn’t a “new warning” but rather a reiteration of the Obama Administration’s position. He added that the US is constantly considering revoking Pakistan’s aid.
GET RID OF AMERICA AND TELL THEM TO SHOVE THERE AID THERE BANKRUPT ANYWAY IT WILL BE THE SMARTEST THING PAKISTAN HAS DONE RECENTLY.
What a sick relationship we have created with Pakistan. They use to be our most reliable allies in the war on terror. I can imagine what other countries are thinking when they see what is happening between the US and Pakistan. We want to be respected as nation, but by definition, respect is something you must have in order to receive. God help us from ourselves.
In addition to your entreaty for God to help us from ourselves, I would also add that may Allah(swt) have mercy on us for the evils we have brought. We're not the only ones, but we don't have to run with the bloodthirsty herd if we don't want to. Sadly, we have become the evil we fought against for generations.
As for Pakistan, it is a big country bigger than Britain and France combine, it has more population than whole Middle East put together and, on the top of that it is a Nuclear Power, and the population of almost 190 million heads, keeping these facts in mind direct US invasion would be lethal for all US, Pakistan and the entire region, the United States knows it well so it will probably try to bulge its strategy which had already been in works for quite some time now i.e. BALKANIZATION OF PAKISTAN, LITTLE BY LITTLE PIECE BY PIECE UNTILL IT ACHIEVES FIRST STEP OF THE DESIRED RESULTS OF DEVOURING BALOCHISTAN…
I think we must break relations with america which are enemy number one for Pakistan and let stop
transit facilities.
Americans are responsible for their own problems and can,t blame pakistan and get out from afghanistan.
Afghans will destroy whole america.
Over half a century of military aid, over $100 billion of made in USA taxes, and all it has done is to so starve the people that their babies are born stunted.
So, the rich nobility that rule America are not happy with the way that the rich nobility of Pakistan are controlling their military.
And so, 60% of the oil consumed by USA flows down a black hole called the US military, and just north of the Afghan War is a billion barrows of oil, buried beneath the Caspian Sea. Enough said.
With all this "war with Pakistan" talk flying around lately it's easy to overlook a minor detail… I just remembered that without Pakistan, Afghanistan turns into a modern day Stalingrad.
Sadly, it's looking like that more each day already, albeit on a much smaller scale. I wonder how the US public would react if we were taking the kind of casualties each side dealt with in the original Stalingrad battle – hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded every day for months on end. But, since, the realities on the ground are being hidden from the public eye it's business as usual and who is on Dancing With the Stars tonight?
Whom are these Pakis fooling ? These "holier than the king" bunch of Islamic retards are "cautioning" America that invading their territory would "violate our sovereignity" is just laughable. These terror groups formed, financed and directed by Paki ruling thugs (Army and ISI) is not for the purpose spreading economic progress. Its purpose has always been to violate sovereignity" of the neighbors and commit meyham. The reality is that Paki bullshit is now being exposed and "violate our sovereignity" is just a face saving piece shit to hang on to. This bankrupt "Land of Pure Islamic Retards" will have to continually lick American ass and be used as its toilet bowl to keep those dog crumbs coming at them.
Hasbara headquarters is having a covered dish dinner next Thursday- I assume you'll be there?
Pakistani PM: US Invasion Would ‘Violate Our Sovereignty’
US: grab me that roll of toilet paper over there, the one labeled "Pakistan"
Pakistani PM: US Invasion Would ‘Violate Our Sovereignty’
Isn't it kind of a silly statement? Invasion is way beyond just violating sovereignty. Drone attacks violate it, Allowing CIA to recruit or bribe locals violates it, attacking this or that tribe at the behest of US violates it. Invasion simply obliterates it.
And since when has the US EVER IN HISTORY worried about any nation's sovereignty when we've already made our mind up to destroy that nation?
Actually, I correct myself- the US is keenly interested in the sovereignty of Israel to the point of neglecting our own, and miserably so. Anyone else's borders are fair game for the US military machine to sail, drive, or fly over at will if they are in the way of our imperial agenda.
I am Muslim and I love my country, but everyday I am more ashamed of the government we have created and allowed to flourish in this once-great land. United States of America or United States of Aggression? At this point, take your pick.
the Problem that fool in America Graham, forgets is that Pakistan has that ability to play "Scratch one Carrier Group",
Americas Whole intimidation scenario is based on it Carrier Task forces, Gun Boat Diplomacy and all that, it would be most embarrassing if one of them was sunk with all hands, not a ship but the WHOLE task force.
Nuclear Retaliation might also upset India!
Pakistani PM is a good man; get out of these beautiful, intelligent, humble people's homeland now, you evil, criminal government. I reject this current American Government! You're absolutely disgusting! My country has been hijacked….
