Washington not a reliable friend: Defence Minister Asif

[root]

After selling all the country assets to USA and saving cash in your bank accountyou are now realizing US is unreliable great.Now Pakistan is having poor economy and you are talking about ending relationship this is stupidity.

 

[Storm Force]

Nobody's ending relationship with usa. In Pakistan.

Why would Pakistan end USA relationship they gave you 25 billion in aid both military and economic.in a decade.

But you people will whine and whinge that the USA needs to do more and at times you will lie a d cheat on the usa when your interests don't meet USA interests..

It's this lieing and cheating that has been exposed by certain elements in your country that has led to relationship breakdown since obl raid.

I look with interest to see what happens next two years will ve messy I think afteruUSA leaves region

 

[SpArK]

There are no permanent friends in global politics.. only interests.

Even India is on verge of changing the friend-list order.




Reminds me of the song

Dost dost na raha, pyaar pyaar naa raha
Zindagi hamein tera, aitbaar na raha, aitbaar na raha
Amaanatein main pyaar ki, gaya tha jisko saunp kar
Woh mere dost tum hi the, tumhi to the
Jo zindagi ki raah me bane the mere hamsafar
Woh mere dost tum hi the, tumhi to the
Saare bhed khul gaye, raazdaar na raha
Zindagi hamein tera, aitbaar na raha, aitbaar na raha
Dost dost na raha...
Safar ke waqt mein palak pe motiyo ko taulti
Woh tum na thi to kaun tha tumhi to thi
Nashe ki raat dhhal gayi ab khumaar na raha
Zindagi hamein tera, aitbaar na raha, aitbaar na raha
Dost dost na raha...

We should not be in control of any country whether US, China or Russia. We should cooperate with all three of them and stay neutral. That is the only hope for Pakistan. We should cooperate with all three major powers for peace and stability in region and cooperation against terrorists in South Asia and Middle East. But our influence should be lesser than it was in the past.

 

[third eye]

Quite a coincidence.

US also feels the same about Pakistan.

Hint : Abbotabad

 

[Storm Force]

Pakistanis think that Osama bin laden debacles has been finished and washed under the carpet.

I dont think this to be the case.

Massive distrust exists now and many want USA to withdraw aid completely

 

[Capt.Popeye]

As defence minister Mr Asif must be aware of MORE F 16 being approved
by US or not .

Since he is calling US unreliable does that mean the demand has not yet been approved

Oh, its not just that. Uncle Rahell Sharif's "wish-list" to Washington seems to have remained just that........ a wish-list!
So now again "Blow Hot, Blow Cold" begins between the World's "Greatest Frenemies" !

Wish lists are good. They are replied with To Do Lists in return. This is how it works.

Because Pakistan has lost more than it has gained. It has lost 100 billion dollars due to terrorism, so 25 billion in aid does not cover the costs of the war. People like you try to portray Pakistan has gained something or milked aid in the war on terror. This is fiction.

That $100 billion figure often quoted is known to be wildly exaggerated and false.

There is nothing strange in what I have said. International geopolitics is a two way street that only serves national interests, that is all, always, without any piety or cruelty.

hese interviews
while Pak military is maintaining better relations with USA
the Nawaz league leaders are making anti American noises. (refer to foreign minster's interview to BBC)
it seems Nawaz league is collecting sympathy points thinking its going to get kicked out and it will appeal to the extremists saying it was punished for standing up to American imperialist infidels.
so Nawaz league not only creates problems for its arch enemy (i.e. Pakistan army) but also gain approval ratings from anti American sentiments among radical Pakistanis which is a useful commodity in elections

 

[Irfan Baloch]

I never did trust Pakistan, even before UBL and them letting China look at the stealth chopper tail section. I wouldn't give them another nickle. F*ck 'em. Go beg to China.

that scumbag is doing it on purpose. he is following the led of his leader who ordered another stooge to say that fighting haqqanis is not in our favour.

I wont even piss on his face. he is a chronic army hater. and actually scored a double kill with one statement.
he made our army chief look like a fool in USA and also gained support from the radicals.

few years back he was praising the taliban and cursing the army operation. and our PM made him a defence minster just to tease the army. army completely dismisses him and doesnt even invite him on military events.

re showing tail section of copter, dont loose any sleep over it. even if the Chinese had a look of it they cant do jack. just by looking at a broken tail section. to be fair you guys didnt tell them then you were going to pop that goat fcker so let them off for letting the Chinese have a look at that copter.

earning trust is a long and 2 way process, it always worked out in the end and it will do again.

 

[Stephen Cohen]

The 100 billion dollar LOSS that is always quoted is the direct and indirect loss
suffered due to Extremism and extremist violence in Pakistan

So what was the cause of extremism : that PA/ ISI was helping US in WOT ;
so these terrorists turned upon their OWN country ; How nice and patriotic !!!

But then who created the environment and conditions in which extremist ideology and thinking flourishes
right from 1989 onwards till 2001

So; is there going to be another Coup?
