Massive floods across Pakistan | Thousands Killed

[xdrive]

wonder if there will be claims of invasion though from some camps...

Of course there will be. Remember, the U.S is a country that just wants to take over the world and kill everyone right?.

Thanks to our brother countries, Iran, Turkey and China..

+ Saudia 100 million dollars in air + transport bridge between cities
+ US 55 , million , 14-19 helicopters for releif efforts

That is IRCS not the state itself. I must state my surprise over the lackluster response from Iran.

I think it would be a good idea to stop your offensive stereotyping. There might be some who will be of the view you are putting forward but many of people appreciate the overwhelming help US has provided to us over the years.

Pakistani's up till a very recent time considered themselves to be closer to the west especially US then any other Muslim nation. Unfortunately the WOT and other events have altered that a bit. However, you will start to see that relations betweenour nations improve and so will the perception of each other.

All that is needed is a long term commitment in helping and developing a relation that is mutually beneficial. If US can help Turkey as it did from Ataturk's time, surely it can do the same for Pakistan and once that happens, US will benefit a lot from the improved security situation in Pakistan. It is only Pakistan that can keep the region in check.

It's not the view i'm putting forward. I am being sarcastic. As i said, tons of people on this forum think exactly what i wrote, but then say "oh thank you" when the U.S gives them money.

If they weren't grateful, you'd probably say how ungrateful they are. When they are grateful, you say they are being hypocritical and just want money.

Listen, when US does something in the favor of Pakistan, Pakistanis like that. When they do something harming Pakistan, they don't like that. Whats so difficult to understand that?

China has been actively involved in this. Saudi Arab has also allocated 100 million for aid/relief work in pakistan. Not sure what you mean by corruption.

Can you please quote the source of this 100 million news by KSA

 

[Aamir Hussain]

I think there is serious issue between Zaardari and the Saudi King for reasons unknown. This was also touched upon by Kamaran Khan in one of his nightly run down on "State of the Union" in Pakistan.

Issue or nn issue, KSA should come out fully and help -- the help from them, in my opinion, is not very forthcomming at this point in time. Once again US has stepped in whether we like it or not. Full marks to US!!!

ACLU will have a field day with you. Also look it up on US Bill of Rights, and see how many constitutional laws it will infringe without a probable cause.

I was never very poltically corrrect.
