Gilani bares fangs, warns against NATO intrusions |
2010-10-02 |
![]() You mean giving them all that money somehow violates their sacred sovereignty? Pakistain says that NATO helicopters carried out three air strikes in its northwest tribal area of Kurram Agency, home of an intricately interconnected web of poverty, ignorance, and religious fanaticism in a week, killing the local equivalent of soldiers and civilians. A NATO front man had defended the strikes and said that the action was taken after beturbanned goons attacked an Afghan border post from the Pak side. Pakistain lodged a formal protest with NATO in Brussels, calling for an end to such attacks in future, officials said. If we're not going to shoot back when we're attacked our troops will be a lot safer someplace else, like Colorado. "I want to assure you and the whole nation through this House that if intrusion into Pakistain's sovereignty is made, we will think of other options," said Prime Minister Gilani in the National Assembly after an opposition politician ranted and rolled his eyes. "Pakistain can in no way tolerate collateral damages by strikes inside Pakistain and will not allow anyone to interfere into our illusory sovereignty and putative security," said the prime minister, warning that "If you (referring to NATO) do not explain it, compensate it or apologize it, we may consider other options too." |
