Speaking to the Pakistani Senate today, Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar warned that the Friday attack on a pair of military bases by US forces was not going to be forgotten, and that a simple “apology” won’t work.
Pakistan released new video footage of the aftermath of the attacks, saying the strikes were deliberate and that US warplanes refused to stop attacking after nearly two hours of calls for a ceasefire.
Afghan officials have insisted it was deliberate as well, though unlike the Pakistani government they seem pretty keen on the whole idea, with one top police official terming the killings the “best thing America has done in 10 years.”
Gen. Martin Dempsey, the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman, declined to go into detail in discussing the attacks, but said that he was positive that “this was not a deliberate attack” So far officials have offered no explanation for how such a bombing could’ve taken place.
Can anyone believe NATO or America especially when their Afghan partners are gloating over the attacks?
It is time for Pakistan to call it quits – boot out the Americans and attack NATO warplanes if the continue to violate Pakistani terrority.
ALSO THEY NEED TO KEEP THE BLOCKADE ON TRUCKS SUPPLYING NATO VIA PAKISTAN.
Only force will be understood by these murderers who say they are fighting terror BUT WHO ARE IN FACT THE REAL TERRORISTS.
Shooting at NATO (even shooting back at them), would have to be considered very carefully. Almost like the 'timing' would have to be right to disrupt NATO PR. E.g., if NATO were ordered out of Pakistan in such a way that Westerners were keenly aware of it, but were careless enough to leave a now legit target …then the PR advantage might swing to Pakistan (or maybe not even then). Without that PR advantage in the West, though, a Pakistani action could just be the excuse NATO wants(?)
What excuse?
NATO and the US do not need an excuse to murder innocent people.
They are just natural born killers.
Continuing to appease them will bring more killings of innocent peoples by this blood thirsty mob. Only when People stand up for truth and justice will these people be stopped.
Better phrasing might have been 'cover story.' I guess my understanding is that US/NATO will play that game –e.g., don't they do things like dispute facts & figures 'till the news cycle moves on? So my hope is that they lose on PR, too; then they might have to behave. I don't know, but it might be that NATO is looking to provoke something, so I'd hate to see Pakistan play into their hands. If we were short on standing for truth & justice, we're really short on the PR that'd lose US/NATO what public support they may still have. Can't see a problem with denying NATO passage, but if Pakistan retaliates militarily I have to ask how would it be spun here?
"This was NOT a deliberate attack!"…Gen. Dumbass Dempsey
Yeah Herr Generalissimo sure sure.
The good news is that the Afghan war is over if the Pakistanis doesn't let NATO trucks cross their border anymore. 100 fuel trucks a day at 14,000 gallon capacity and $700 a gallon adds up to $1 billion a day in fuel costs. That will cost 3 times as much now when they have to go through Russia and several other countries to get there. It's either that or bring the fuel in by helicopter.

But I thought that restructuring the Afghan war reduced costs to about $500 billion over the last 10 years. Their math must be off. I wonder if the Russians will let the US and NATO cross their property at any price with the new missiles in Europe pointed at them.
If the Pakistan's government doesnt stand by there words. then i am sure. there will be a revolution coming soon to Pakistan.
