Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz on Thursday said the US was a “selfish friend” that always curried favour with Pakistan when self-interest pressed it and left it in the lurch after having its interests served.

After 40 Billion Dollars of Aid from the US since 9/11, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan says that the US is "Selfish"!

[Cronos]

the US IS a selfish friend to Pakistan. What right does the US have to exposing the fact that Pakistan gave refugee to Osama Bin LAden and other Taliban for over a decade?

What right does the USA have to expect Pakistan to be grateful for the $40 billion?

What right does the USA have to berate Pakistan for giving money to terrorists and training terrorists to kill civilians in India, Afghanistan, France, the UK, USA etc.?

The US is selfish to the Pakistani terrorist state.

Pakistan is home to a religion which necessarily holds back progress in every state in which they dominate.

Such societies can only exist by living off the crumbs that fall from the table of Christendom.

What is the purpose of foreign aid? To buy friendship (vs. The Soviets).

I don't understand why we spend billions of dollars each to build up countries that then turn around and compete against us in business, or simply stab us in the back.

The US should end ALL foreign aid. It is not in the national interest.

Allegations of a support system in Pakistan for Osama bin Laden have been made both before and after Osama bin Laden was found living in a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan and was killed by a team of United States Navy SEALs on 2 May 2011.

The compound itself was located just half a mile from Pakistan’s premier military training academy Kakul Military Academy (PMA) in Abbottabad. wikipedia.org

Pakistan is a filthy nothing of a country filled with inbred idiots and raving lunatics. The US should have begun it’s actions in Afghanistan by forced landings on Pakistan’s shores.

What sort of friendship do GOPe want with countries overseas? One of mutual respect or one where you give them $40 billion aid and they call you selfish

[justa-hairyape]

Silly fools. Just kick back some of that US aid into the Clinton Foundation and all will be good. Oh, and donate to the Heinz Foundation and you won’t get that lurch feeling anymore. Why the heck do you think we are giving you that aid ? To feed you populace ? Don’t be silly.

You are one sarcastic cynic.../s

Pakis.....yeah, figures.
Those who have had personal contact with a Paki never go back for a second helping. Belt fed Lying Bastards.

[Enchante]

the first delusion (on both sides) is that the US and Pak can or should be “friends”..... Pak is a hostile power supporting terrorists against us.... the US and Pak each have some converging interest which should allow us to work together in limited ways... but “friend” is a word that should never enter into the matter.
