(Associated Posers) Islamabad, PAKISTAN The President of the United States and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared in paid television ads to inform the viewers that there is a blasphemous video about Mohamed on Youtube. The website was blocked in that country earlier in the day, but the President went on to inform them that while rioting over such incitement is natural that he was sorry the US had a first amendment.
To the chagrin of Pakistan authorities the paid television ads that cost the US taxpayers upwards of $70,000 sparked mass protests and rioting. One Pakistan Senator for the opposition said the television ads was the worst act of terrorism against Pakistan we have seen all year.
The Speaker of the Parliament of Pakistan , Fahmida Mirza, said she was shocked that the American President would do something almost guaranteed to cause a riot. Our people didn't see the video, it was blocked here and this man comes along and tells our people that rioting is a natural thing to do... I have never seen anything like it.
We go through great pains to contain the radicals in our society and your President comes along and gives them the green light to explode. It is the most irresponsible thing I have seen in quite a while said an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Foreign Relations Department. The United States is not our enemy, I am shocked at this. If this is the kind of treatment we get from our partnership, then how long will we be allies?
The day of the rioting was a holiday in Pakistan and the protests hit several major cities, there were clashes with police in riot gear as well as many burned cars and vandalized businesses. There are reports that at least 23 people were killed and hundreds injured.
These protests were clearly hijacked by the religion right said businessman and peace activist Naeem Sadiq. Mobile communications had been switched off in 15 cities but the death and destruction pointed to poorly trained and equipped police departments.
BUMP
They only had to hear the lady say, “Mitt Romney says ...” and they were out the door and in the street.
Wow, imagine that just the images of Barry and Hillary(!) causing riots among the Muslims? Who’d have thought it? We’ve apologized to every Muslim on the planet and they still hate Americans and the United States! Oh, the huge Manatee of it all.
Associated Posers, huh?
Love these satirical articles!
Me too. I never thought about doing it every day until just a few days ago.
Going exactly as planned
Obama is a total ash hole!
....so does that imply that Obambi’s foreign policy is in shreds....updated from broken....?
BURN BABY BURN. BURN until you have your entire hell hole destroyed. Good plan and we approve.
his domestic policy is not in very good shape either
Blew $70,000 on an ad for this. Talk about egg on your face.
Hillary and Obama should have just kept their mouths shut and realize you can’t deal with these people on any level. They aren’t civilized.
