Pakistan's Elite Convinced US is on Path to War
[Tolo News] Many of Pakistain's political, military and media elite are convinced that America is on the road to war with the country, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani
... Pakistain's erstwhile current prime minister, whose occasional feats of mental gymnastics can be awe-inspiring ...
today convened a conference of government allies and opposition parties to discuss the crisis. He has also met with Chinese and Saudi officials.

After meeting on Tuesday with Meng Jianzhu, China's vice premier, Mr Gilani said: ''China categorically supports Pakistain's efforts to uphold its illusory sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity," the paper said.

Army chief General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani
... four star general, current Chief of Army Staff of the Mighty Pak Army. Kayani is the former Director General of ISI...
on Sunday held a meeting with commanders, according to the newspaper. Local media outlets subsequently reported warnings of a "stern response" to any attack on Pakistain by US forces from Afghanistan. Stoking the sense of crisis, Gen Kayani on Monday cancelled a visit to the UK.

Pakistain's spy chief, Lieutenant General Ahmed Shuja Pasha on Monday with officials from Soddy Arabia.

Relations between the US and Pakistain have ebbed lower since Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Admiral Mike Mullen described the Haqqani network as a "veritable arm" of the ISI spy agency. He also said that the ISI supported the group's September 13 attacks on the US Embassy in Kabul.

#1 The all knowing Light Bringer had the answer nearly 5 years ago. Why has no one acted?


Late Sept 2007 speech excerpt:

" ....But Obama proposed in his speech a more aggressive stance with that nuclear nation, making the "hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. military aid to Pakistan conditional, and I would make our conditions clear: Pakistan must make substantial progress in closing down the training camps, evicting foreign fighters and preventing the Taliban from using Pakistan as a staging area for attacks in Afghanistan."

#3 Well duh... ongoing cellphone calls from the terrorists to the ISI while the terrorists are attacking the US Embassy etc.. all recorded by sigint... is a pretty retarded action as it makes it a direct attack by the ISI & Pakiwakiland on the USA - ergo an ACT OF WAR and it makes clear the IQ of the ISI leadership is below MORON.

#4 Note that no one ever says that Pakistan is on the path to war with us.

Typical of the Obamanation, no matter what it is all our fault and all our responsibility.

#5 Is this the same Pakistan who attacked the USA via their Al Qaeda proxy on 9/11/2001? Why does it still exist?
