This is it - They violate OUR land, they are informed on numerous occassions that its a case of blue on blue, they hold an investigation investigating themselves into their own crime and find it within themselves NOT to officially apologize - yet Cheng believes "the ball presently is in Pakistan court". If he viewed the world by removing his tinted stars and stripes spex - he would realize that to attempt to build relations an apology is paramount. The reason why they are hostile to this suggestion is an apology is an acceptance of blame and liability - and they cant do that. Who else was their to blame??
I feel Cheng has clearly a lack of respect for the spilt blood of Pakistani soldiers. This disrespect is paralleled with the views of his beloved USA.
Let's take this point by point, shall we?
They violate OUR land,
... because parts of that land are used for exporting terror, and this needs to be stopped. If you clean up your own house, then we don't need to do it ourselves. But cleaned it shall be.
they are informed on numerous occassions that its a case of blue on blue,
It is a case of blue on blue, with the causes known, described, and acknowledged.
they hold an investigation investigating themselves into their own crime and find it within themselves NOT to officially apologize
There is no crime, but an accident, as the report reveals.
- yet Cheng believes "the ball presently is in Pakistan court".
Of course it is, since Pakistan is taking all the time it needs to set the conditions from its side to proceed with bilateral relations, or not, as the decision may be.
If he viewed the world by removing his tinted stars and stripes spex - he would realize that to attempt to build relations an apology is paramount.
There are many more grounds to build relations that are not contingent upon the Salala incident, and are quite important as well.
The reason why they are hostile to this suggestion is an apology is an acceptance of blame and liability - and they cant do that. Who else was their to blame??
There were multiple factors that formed the root causes of the accident.

I have expressed my regrets and respect for the soldiers in the field, and I mean that. However, I have no respect for those whose policies and decision expose these brave men to these undue risks, without proper equipment, training or tactics, while perpetuating the lawless condition that only compound these errors of judgement.
