US Apologizes to Pakistan For Salala Attack

[SamranAli]

plus it is a big slap on the face of arogant indians,,, who used to say USA doesnt need our route.

OH come on people you need to improve your command of english and same goes for pakistani media!

"I offered our sincere condolences to the families of the Pakistani soldiers who lost their lives," Mrs Clinton said. thats not an acknowledgement of mistake on their part, they are just offering condolences to the families. So what!

"Foreign Minister Khar and I acknowledged the mistakes that resulted in the loss of Pakistani military lives. Again acknowledging mistake of Americans?

"We are sorry for the losses suffered by the Pakistani military. We are committed to working closely with Pakistan and Afghanistan to prevent this from ever happening again." Again when you are sorry for someones loss this doesn't mean you had a hand in it. for example "i'm sorry for the loss of your father" doesn't mean you murdered their father!

Stupid media and gullible population!

No this is not victory but instead defeat accepted by Pakistan at last. Cuz Obama never said sorry in any press conference and Hilary never said sorry in any joint press conference or requested for an official appology......Get ready there will be another Salalah like incident very soon.....I guess then our ruling elite might learn some lesson.........

its all over in world media, it doesnt mater, they didnt does in a press conference!
but its on the official record, guss its enough! for now.

 

[RuheTag]

no transit fees thats surprising , good settlement but wat pakistan gains besides a telephonic sorry ?

No, Obama will begging sorry infront of Pakistani parliament's building tomorrow. FFS, think for a while what you say for second.

BTW: Why are most Indians sounding unhappy over this development?

dear all,
i have noticed that many here are arguing that what we get from this sorry and this is just twisting of same old rigid attitude of US and its not an apology. Even some members are saying that the Salala like incidents will be repeated in future as well..

Right,
what we need to understand is that we were not asking for this as a favor, this was not something that would have helped us economically, neither do we expect that a sorry will be a guarantee that such things will never happen in future.
the point is that we have made it clear that what happened was not right in our view and we have made the other side realize this.
this is more to do with your moral and principles then with some financial and/or tangible benefits!

i hope you guys agree to this.

regards!

Guys plzz report all dumb trolls that are loosing sleep and not staying on topic but trolling .

 

[foxbat]

you just show me this line when they said before please ???????//

We are sorry for the losses suffered by the Pakistani military. We are committed to working closely with Pakistan and Afghanistan to prevent this from ever happening again.

Bhai jaan.. This is not an apology wala sorry.. Its like when you go to some one's funeral, you say to his family that I am sorry for your loss.

There is no admission of unilateral mistake on the part of USA and there is no sorry for their action.

Hindi mein, Clinton ne jawano ki maut pe afhsos kiya hai.. Maafi nahin maangi..

Pakistani politicians may spin it in a different way though..

I once again reiterated our deepest regrets for the tragic incident in Salala last November. I offered our sincere condolences to the families of the Pakistani soldiers who lost their lives. Foreign Minister Khar and I acknowledged the mistakes that resulted in the loss of Pakistani military lives. We are sorry for the losses suffered by the Pakistani military. We are committed to working closely with Pakistan and Afghanistan to prevent this from ever happening again.
Statement by Secretary Clinton on her Call With Pakistani Foreign Minister Khar

dude america has made pakistan fool, they said they are sorry for the situation pakistan is in, and not that they are sorry for what their army did to pakistani soldiers and killed them

so basically they regret the situation, they still havent apologised

clever hag

Western media use "regret statement" and Pakistan media use "apology statement"

Clinton's full statement:

This morning, I spoke by telephone with Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar.

I once again reiterated our deepest regrets for the tragic incident in Salala last November. I offered our sincere condolences to the families of the Pakistani soldiers who lost their lives. Foreign Minister Khar and I acknowledged the mistakes that resulted in the loss of Pakistani military lives. We are sorry for the losses suffered by the Pakistani military. We are committed to working closely with Pakistan and Afghanistan to prevent this from ever happening again.
As I told the former Prime Minister of Pakistan days after the Salala incident, America respects Pakistan's sovereignty and is committed to working together in pursuit of shared objectives on the basis of mutual interests and mutual respect.

In today's phone call, Foreign Minister Khar and I talked about the importance of taking coordinated action against terrorists who threaten Pakistan, the United States, and the region; of supporting Afghanistan's security, stability, and efforts towards reconciliation; and of continuing to work together to advance the many other shared interests we have, from increasing trade and investment to strengthening our people-to-people ties. Our countries should have a relationship that is enduring, strategic, and carefully defined, and that enhances the security and prosperity of both our nations and the region.

The Foreign Minister and I were reminded that our troops -- Pakistani and American -- are in a fight against a common enemy. We are both sorry for losses suffered by both our countries in this fight against terrorists. We have enhanced our counter-terrorism cooperation against terrorists that threaten Pakistan and the United States, with the goal of defeating Al-Qaida in the region.

In addition, I am pleased that Foreign Minister Khar has informed me that the ground supply lines (GLOC) into Afghanistan are opening. Pakistan will continue not to charge any transit fee in the larger interest of peace and security in Afghanistan and the region. This is a tangible demonstration of Pakistan's support for a secure, peaceful, and prosperous Afghanistan and our shared objectives in the region. This will also help the United States and ISAF conduct the planned drawdown at a much lower cost. This is critically important to the men and women who are fighting terrorism and extremism in Afghanistan. Foreign Minister Khar has informed me that, consistent with current practice, no lethal equipment will transit the GLOC into Afghanistan except for equipping the ANSF. In concluding the call, I reiterated our deep appreciation to the Government and the people of Pakistan for their many sacrifices and their critical contribution to the ongoing fight against terrorism and extremism

This whole apology drama is finally over........and at the end a fudge.........clinton says sorry but not obama......PPP are going to be telling us all how much balls they had "standing up to the USA".
The only traffic that should have been discussed was the one coming one way out of afghanistan.

 

[SamranAli]

it has a meaning....It means.... you gonna pay for this in future

And your concern for that also your respectable idea behind?

[swathi]

Unless drone attacks stop supply lines wont be opened, when i happened to browse rupee news, i saw there.

 

[batmannow]

The lost of lives won't be able to come back .. but atleast they said sorry and that too to get the work/supply back on track to their troops anyhow overall we are now over the tom and jerry drama hope relations improve.

thats the whole point!
