General: Worst U.S. Image In Pakistan Ever...

[paulitician]

Gee,i wonder why? Could it be that we're killing their people on a daily basis? Just a wild guess.


President Obama promised to restore the international image of the United States, but the recent NATO airstrike that killed Pakistani soldiers comes as a historic setback, at least in Pakistan, to judge from remarks made by Army Gen. Martin. E. Dempsey to British media today.

Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that the average Pakistani’s respect for the United States is lower than ever. “[The average Pakistani who] doesn’t know the United States, doesn’t read about the United States or just watches something on television about the United States, at that level, [the relations] are probably the worst they’ve ever been,” he explained, according to the American Forces Press Service.

He added that the relationship between the U.S. government and Pakistan’s government is “on about as rocky a road as I’ve seen.”

The general expressed limited optimism for rebuilding that relationship. “I think if we understand the seriousness with which this event is being viewed in Pakistan, and they understand we are taking it seriously, then I think we will have at least the beginnings of a opportunity to find our way through it,” he suggested.

Obama must have gotten mugged when he was a student traveling in Pok-ee-staan, I don't know what else could motivate his trying to get us into a war with them

Frankly....I don't care

Pakistan hid Bin Laden for five years, the majority of Al Qaida and Taliban leadership are in Pakistan. They have been given ample opportunity to clean house. If they want to bitch about outsiders coming in and cleaning out the scum in their midst.........let them

If they are that unhappy, let them give back the billions in US aid

Nice Diplomacy. That'll win em over for sure. We're killing their people on daily basis. They have every right to be angry. But i do agree,we should eliminate aid to them. And then bring all of our troops home from the region. We already won the Longest War. It's over.

Is diplomacy going to root out embedded terrorist cells that are supported by the Pakistan government? I don't think so. That is what those billions of dollars in US aid was supposed to do. Allow the US to fund the Pakistan military in cleaning out the terrorist cells.

I supported that policy up until I saw Osama bin Laden living happily and unmolested in a major city in Pakistan

So War with Pakistan? No thanks. We've had enough War. You were on the right track when you suggested eliminating their aid. I mean how long are they supposed to accept us killing their people on a daily basis? So lets just eliminate the aid and get the Hell out of there. We already won over there. Nothing more to be gained.

Even Pakistan is not stupid enough to engage in war with the US. The terrorists in their midst are a direct threat to US and worldwide security. We will continue with drone strikes and special forces attacks until we are satisfied that threat is eliminated

If Pakistan does not like it, I am not concerned

"We fight the terrorists and we fight all of those who give them aid. America has a message for the nations of the world: If you harbor terrorists, you are terrorists. If you train or arm a terrorist, you are a terrorist. If you feed a terrorist or fund a terrorist, you're a terrorist, and you will be held accountable by the United States and our friends." George W Bush

I agreed with that statement by GWB then and I still do today.

One of Bush's finest speeches. Too bad he did not live up to it

 

[High_Gravity]

The Pakistanis have hated the US for decades, the war in Afghanistan and the drone strikes have just excelerated it a bit. Keep in mind Osama Bin Laden is considered a hero in Pakistan, they have flea markets where you can buy Osama t-shirts and cassette tapes, thats where most Pakistani mind sets are right now. When we finish mopping up in Afghanistan we need to cut off all aid to Pakistan and throw in our lot with India.

 

[Vaard]

how favorable was our image in pakistan before as they were hiding bin laden and allowing terrorist to hide and be trained there?

seems there previous image of us under republican control was that of a little bitch since they took billions in aid while harboring and training terrorists that wanted to kill us........

Do you know what that acronym NATO stands for?

There is no question that it appears that Obama is not only talking the talk. but also walking the walk. Obama's is a much more surgical approach, where as GWB's was to attack entire countries, however he did utilize drones, just not as much as Obama by quite a large margin.

I find it funny that you don't care that we are "creating terrorists" in Pakistan. I find it funny that you don't mind provoking another country into "possible war". I find it funny that you don't care. I find it funny that Bush didn't do this.

I don't find your blatent hypocrisy funny.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

I also find it funny that you now support Bushs we will come get you even if your in a soverign country.

Hack

General: Worst U.S. Image In Pakistan Ever...

That's rich, coming from a third world near-failed state that's labeled an Islamic terrorist state by most of the world.

 

[paulitician]

It's not surprising they're so angry. How would we feel if a foreign nation was constantly bombing and murdering our Citizens? I'm guessing we would get pretty pissed off.

Paul-ites are so naive

 

[paulitician]

Socialists/Progressives and Neocons agreeing. How sweet. Now i know i'm right. That only clinches it for me.
