Al Qaeda leadership in Pakistan: Hillary Clinton
* US taxes everything, and ‘that’s not what we see in Pakistan’ * Pakistan must start planning for challenges posed by population growth * US secretary of state meets COAS
LAHORE: The leadership of Al Qaeda is in Pakistan, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Thursday.
“I find it hard to believe that nobody in your government knows where they are and couldn’t get them if they really wanted to,” she added.
“Maybe that’s the case; maybe they’re not gettable. I don’t know... As far as we know, they are in Pakistan,” Clinton told senior Pakistani newspaper editors in Lahore, AFP reported. “The percentage of taxes on GDP (in Pakistan) is among the lowest in the world... We (the United States) tax everything that moves and doesn’t move, and that’s not what we see in Pakistan,” she said.
“You do have 180 million people. Your population is projected to be about 300 million. And I don’t know what you’re going to do with that kind of challenge, unless you start planning right now,” she said.
“If we are going to have a mature partnership where we work together” then “there are issues that not just the United States but others have with your government and with your military security establishment”.
Separately, Clinton also met army chief General Ashfaq Kayani and exchanged views on a host of security-related issues. afp/sajjad malik

What arrogance! Note to Pakistanis: this woman does not represent me in any shape, manner, or form. I apologize for her arrogance.
Ahh, the Truth comes out. What do you expect from an Alinsky trained Fabian Socialist? All birds of a feather. . Can't wait for 2010. .
So. It takes our Secretary of State to make a convincing case for how the US should be more like Pakistan.
Her remarks will come in handy, should she win the Donk nomination in 2012.
Don’t forget this famous and revealing Hillary quote:
“Many of you are well enough off that the tax cuts may have helped you. We’re saying that for America to get back on track, we’re probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.”
Again, classic Fabian Socialism. I hope by November 2010, with the internet and all, that people will be educated about socialism and the dangers therein. More and more I get the feeling from emails, articles on the web and talking to people that most of the electorate had no idea last November how far-left-liberal Obama and his cronies were. Obama et al are doing their best to do a "hurry up" with their socialist plans hoping the people are still ignorant about them. The Sleeping Giant is awake now, especially since 9/12, and getting more educated every day. Keep up those "pass it on" emails and talking with people. . . November 2010 will be here sooner than you think!

Maybe they would also like to tax the families of the graves of their dead each year?
