Will the US congress ever learn?

[Tiger Genie]

After they bilked us of billions of dollars, after they lied to us for decades, after they hid and protected terrorists liek OBL even as brave soldiers were hunting him, after they proliferated wmd to countries like N.Korea...these dumb congressmen still have to conference to decide whether Pakistan is friend or foe? What do they have to do, send a formal statement that they are foe that won't mind being called friend for a few more bucks?

No wonder the US congress cannot accomplish much...atleast Mr.Poe seems headed in the right direction

WASHINGTON: Senior US lawmakers and their witnesses are gathering on Capitol Hill on Tuesday to once again ask Pakistan if it is America’s friend or foe.
..........................
............................
“This hearing will give members the opportunity to learn more about Pakistan’s longstanding ties to terrorist groups and allow for a more informed reassessment of US foreign policy priorities vis-à-vis Islamabad,” said Mr Poe while explaining why he had called the hearing.

The House Subcommittees on Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade and Asia and the Pacific are jointly holding this hearing, hoping that it would help them determine how to deal with Pakistan, an old ally many in Congress no longer trust.

Why should Pakistan put US interests ahead of its own????
And the most of the funds given by US are Reimbursments to the state of Pakistan for all the help provided to US for its invasion of Afghanistan. So most of the funds were our own money which US owed to us during the last 15 years.

Well for OBL why should we care. He was a US agent for the last 30 years, was trained and financed by them. They had so many chances of killing him in afghanistan for the last 10 years but they didn't, just like they didn't kill Mullah mansoor in Iran but as soon he enters Pakistan from Iran he is killed.

You mean bunch of Yahoos who cant seem seem to differentiate their head from their a$$ then answer is no. If history has told us anything then that is the fact that Americans become stupid with every passing generation. The conflict of Iraq Syria Libya and Afghanistan is the proof.

 

[Path-Finder]

Every few months these kind of articles begin appearing and then silence! Once again these articles are appearing and then silence will follow. This aggressive posturing is nothing but hot gas. Failure of afghanistan, Iraq, Syria & Libya are not because of us its because of your own stupidity. First they make a mess then shelve the blame on others. It is better to be americas foe they have never been our friend.

I'm assuming the first two paragraphs are your own?

If the Pakistani Foreign Ministry ever decides to do it's job this wouldn't be happening.

if Pakistan actually put their interests ahead they would be a lot more responsible and sensible nation. The reason Pakistan is in the doldrums it is and has been in is because their military has hoodwinked and threatened its way into being the only powerful entity and the everyone else including the people and the elected governments serve the military's business interests.

Which is why in spite knowing what shame and ignominy it will bring to Pakistan, the military chose to hide and protect terrorists even while taking money from us to hunt for the likes of OBL. The very same military has in the past admitted and confessed to creating nurturing and operating terrorist outfits; it even got caught lying about its own soldiers who it sent as jihadi nuts into Kargil. The ultimate disrespect and insult to the Pakistani soldiers was then perpetrated by the Pakistani military when they were reluctant to even take their bodies back.

Supporting terrorists was brought to SA by india as you PM recently openely accepted that fact too in Dhaka so lets keep that aside that we are responsible for all the ills here.
So do you really think that Pakistan army gave shelter to OBL and that too near Kakul academy and in an open house where he was enjoying with his wifes.
If they really were giving him shelter then why not in a safe place in a compound.

I know you are among so many idots around the world who believed You can hijack so many planes in US and US airforce was sleeping and then you can hit pentagon with a commercial plance which is the most secure building in the world.

Obviously education in Pakistan has been hijacked by the jihadis and military to the extent that you are so misinformed about 1971. You are mixing up cause and effect. If Pakistani Punjabi dominated military and the then powerful (Sindhi guy ?) Bhutto had not 'rejected' the fair victory of Mujib Rehman there wouldn't have been a breakup of Pakistan. On top of denying Mujib the power, you guys then unleashed massacre and rape on your East pakistanis shamelessly - which is why Mukti Bahini retaliated and chopped you guys off at the tail. India ofcourse is the leader of the regions and will not standby as you commit such atrocities. Pakistan got punished for its crimes.

Then according to that logic its fine if we punish you in kashmir, then why do you call them terrorists. whats the difference between ukhti bani and kashmir

because India holds regular elections, Kashmiris vote in record numbers just like rin all other states and whoever they elect runs their government. As opposed to the bigoted East Pakistanis who wouldn't let the Bengalis rule even after they won the elections.

Remember - when you hit your class mate you will be punished. But when the teacher hits you that is punishment.

They never had bin laden. The Abbottabad drama was directed right from the whitehouse. Their so alleged "Terrorist" Osama could have found more secure places in Pakistan why close to the KAKUL ACADEMY? stop acting like you don't know nothing. Stop punishing your keyboards by starting such nonsense threads.

You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours, Pakistan and US both need each other. They can never be True friends nor True enemies.

As far as the OBL drama is a concerned, It was a puppet show played by US. Everyone knows "Truth is bitter in Taste"
