Pakistan stands isolated on the world stage, says Nawaz
2011-05-29
[Dawn] Pakistain Mohammedan League -- Nawaz's chief Nawaz Sharif
... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Müslim League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf...
on Saturday said Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani
... Pakistain's erstwhile current prime minister, whose occasional feats of mental gymnastics can be awe-inspiring ...
should apprise the nation on the status of parliament's resolution which was passed in the wake of the Abbottabad operation, DawnNews reported.

The resolution called for a review of security and foreign policies and condemned the US raid on the Abbottabad compound in which al Qaeda chief the late Osama bin Laden
... who is no longer with us, and won't be again...
was killed.

The resolution further stated that in the event of another US operation Pakistain would consider cutting off the supply route for US and allied troops in Afghanistan.

Nawaz Sharif further said that Pakistain stood isolated on the international stage, adding that Pakistain could not allow the world community to ridicule it.
Cannot "allow" the world community to ridicule it? What if the world community does? Does Pakistain attack?
Nawaz said Paks can improve their condition only by rebelling from it. He criticised military regimes for manipulating the country's judiciary and mistreating judges in case of unfavourable verdicts.

#3  The ISI is not some independent government but an instrument of the Pak government.

Something our leaders need to relearn.

couldn't govern the collection of mad hatters that live there anyway

Nothing says they must be allowed live there. Consequence free war w/ copious amounts of aid is an American invention. It doesn't travel well.

#2  India doesn't want a war with Pakistan, and if it fought one, couldn't govern the collection of mad hatters that live there anyway. The Indian military is well aware of the problems it would face. This is why's Pakistan's holding up of India as a bogeyman to distract the populace from the regime's own misdeeds is so laughable. Who actually believes this?

The ISI is not some independent government but an instrument of the Pak government. The Pak government is fully responsible for its actions, just as it is fully responsible for what happens on its "sovereign" tribal areas.

Actions have consequences and the Pak government would do well to remember this.

#1  Typical third world nation. Instead of being embarrassed that Bin Laden was there and someone obviously helped hide him they point outward at the people that exposed their duplicitous nature as the problem. Pakistan, you are dead to me. I've always preferred India as an ally and now (like Israel before them) I'm willing to side with them without any further thought.
