'Obama gives Pakistan ultimatum'
2010-09-30
[Iran Press TV] Washington has reportedly conveyed the message that the B.O. regime will no longer tolerate safe havens for bully boyz in Pakistain to President Asif Ali (Ten Percent) Zardari.

Senior US officials have told Zardari during a series of secret meetings that President Barack B.O. Obama claims the cancer of terrorism exists in Pakistain, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.

The meetings took place in Islamabad after US officials blamed the failed Time Square attempt in New York a US citizen of Pak descent.
In other words, to the Iran PressTV reporter, the events of early May are breaking news. In fairness, he is following the excitement of the Washington Post about Mr. Woodward's new book on the Obama presidency, but even so.
The report comes as Western media reports said that the Pakistain-based gunnies were planning simultaneous strikes in major European cities.

However,
The infamous However...
Pak military front man Major General Athar Abbas has dismissed the reports as speculative.
And so he must. After all, the ISI's various pet jihadi groups ultimately answer to the Pakistani army's policy goals.
"We don't have any credible information from sources that any such planning is taking place or bully boyz are planning anything in North Wazoo."
"We don't discuss such things when we get together for the weekly poker game. Simply to mention it would be too gauche for words."
North Wazoo, one of the most volatile regions in Pakistain, has been targeted more than 65 times this year alone by unmanned US drones, with September seeing more attacks than any other month since the unauthorized strikes began.
Americans: doing jobs Pakistanis won't.
These non-UN-sanctioned attacks by US troops, which were initiated by former US president George W. Bush and have continued under President B.O., have drastically increased in recent weeks at a time when devastating floods have taken their toll on the South Asian country.
The non-UN sanctioned thingy is as much a blatant lie as the one that Israel behaved illegally when her troops stopped the Gaza flotilla. Oddly enough, both lies come from the same mouths.
The developments also come days after two helicopters operated by the US-led forces in Afghanistan crossed into Pakistain's volatile tribal areas, killing at least 50 people.

Experts believe that Obama's harsh tone suggests that the US and its Western allies are expanding their military agenda and occupation policy in the name of war on terror across the volatile region.
It would be wise if Pakistan's real rulers listened to the experts, for once.

Having lived through that - and the Nixon era afterwards - still gives me nightmares from time to time, eu6305. Don't HAVE to "imagine" it.

#10  Until "North Wazoo" changes its name I refuse to take it seriously. Perhaps aptly name it "Small Intestine"?

#7  Administration frustration and desperation could possibly be responsible for public statements such as this. A 2011 troop pull-out of any magnitude or 2012 political consequence cannot be realized during a broadening or expansion of the conflict. Things here at home and abroad are going entirely in the wrong direction for Obama, hence the desperate blatherings.

#6  Why does Bambi acting tough remind me of a boy yelling, "Yeah, take that!" at someone from behind his mother's skirts, then squeaks and ducks back behind them when the bully gives him a mean look?

#5  The report comes as Western media reports said that the Pakistan-based militants were planning simultaneous strikes in major European cities.

Another leaked report? GeeÂ…what a cowinkeedink? And the gullible MSM is so ignorant they try to insinuate that the recent targets of opportunity in Wazoo were meant to disrupt an elaborate attack in Western Europe.

#4  Maybe we're comparing Bambi to the wrong XPOTUS. Perhaps he is more like LBJ, threatening the Laotians or Cambodians.

If he's ever NOT in the daily news, it's a blow to his pride.
