"When Pakistan was being raped by India, I ordered support for Pakistan
at a time when opinion in this country was ten to one against us,
especially in Congress. Why did I do it, especially in an election year? I
did it because it was right. It was not right for India to destroy Pakistan.
Today Pakistan still survives. When I make a decision, such as today, it
will never be influenced by US domestic political concerns."

Fat good that did.

Thank you for trying but failing Mr President.

Too bad about the whole watergate deal.

Nixon was a foul mouthed idiot.

him and Mr. Kissinger sure as hell didnt have much flattering words for the whacked witch --that's for sure! :laugh:


Nixon (and the Republican Party itself, to some large extent) have always been more ''cooperative'' and friendly towards Pakistan....

a lot has changed since the Cold War days; as are alliances....

I'm happy to say that despite the challenges faced --some which were exacerbated by countries calling themselves our allies - Pakistan has been able to defend itself against enemy countries (7 times its size). The Chinese in those days helped to fill the gaps that were left unfilled by the Americans during our times of need.

I remember Ghulam Mustafa Khar saying in an interview that Zulifiqar Bhutto after comming to power was informed that 71 war has depleted the army to the extent that if every soldier were to sacrifice his life, Pakistan could only resist for 7 days against Indian aggression. Hence Bhutto sent Mustafa Khar to see Nixon who then agreed to help Pakistan.

Clinton was good domestically, despite the affairs scandal.. His role in the Balkans --liberating Muslim Albanians and fighting Serbian terrorism against Muslims was commendable and won him much respect. NATOs campaign there was largely a noble cause.

The Camp David Accord was a good initiative.

as far as Pakistan is concerned, he always was a bit of the indian-leaning types.......like most of those left-leaning democrat nincompoops in Washington.

sir clinton allowed Srebrenica in the first place.....intervention was just face saving....real damage was done to serbs by the mujahideen from the entire globe and i read somewhere Pakistan para dropped armoured personal carriers into bosnia and herzegovina former ugouslavia..


the only solution to kashmir cause is an intervention by mujahideen from all over the world...united nations wont enfore its resolutions and slumdog india wont give it in a peaceful way..and as Quiad e Azam said its the juggular vein there is no point we will ever leave it!
