There is a good video of Mullen's remarks at the link.

This is what defeat looks like. Expect a major series of events to unfold to bring the US into line and keep the checks coming to the ISI.

Pakistan is an ally? With friends like these ...

[OCCASparky]

Sorry, but with friends like these, yadda yadda yadda...

[The Theophilus]

Pakistan has told the US it risks losing an ally if it continues to accuse the country of playing a double game in the war against al-Qaeda,

That is akin to fretting about being cured of an STD

[Surrounded_too]

The only thing good about Pakistan is the Cricket Team.

Spare them and carpet bomb the rest with incendiaries.

Which ‘ally’ is Pakistan talking about?

[MikeSteelBe]

There is no such thing as a muslim “ally” to a non-muslim nation.

Hmm, Looks like I gotta Brush up on my Indian.......

Really? Their Cricket team? One of the worst in the traditional Big Eight of cricket ( England, Oz, Kiwis, South Africa, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Windies)

It is currently ranked 6th in both Test Rankings and ODI and is primed to fall to 7th once the Windies play one more series.

The patsy country with the idiot bowing head of state.

Pakistan has told the US it risks losing an ally if it continues to accuse the country of playing a double game in the war against al-Qaeda, escalating the crisis in relations between the two countries.

Remind me where it was that we found Bin Laden, and then tell me again who our allies are.

"So long, nuke ya later."

[OrioleFan]

Pakistan should be reminded that their stockpile of nuclear weapons couls be glowing for a long time in a matter of minutes...

[Notary Sojac]

I'll try not to cry myself to sleep tonight about losing this "ally".

Really I will.

And for once, we can honestly say that this IS Bush's fault.

[Eyes Unclouded]

Eh. Throw them in. They are a bunch of match fixing dopers.

[jessduntno]

“Pakistan is an ally? With friends like these ...”

Maybe “ally” means “screw you from behind” in Pakistani.

[swain_forkbeard]

“So, if you mention extortion again, I’ll have your legs broken.”

[Surrounded_too]

So then you want to bomb them, too?

One less opponent for your favorite national team to beat upon.

7th isn’t bad when you consider all the club team possibilities in the world.

[Night Hides Not]

Time to put a “stop payment” on this week’s foreign aid check.

[NoRedTape]

Fine. We shouldn’t send them another dime. See ya.
