What was Obama’s fascination with Pakistan in those decades past when he traveled and spent three weeks there in 1981 during his college years?
Why Pakistan? Germany, or France, or even India or the Philippines, yes … But, it is not typical, not even normal at all, for a student of Occidental College in Los Angeles and transfer to Columbia University to leave the States to go to … Pakistan? Was he seeking out his Muslim roots?
Who were these college friends of his from Pakistan that he travelled with, and what associations do they have in Pakistan? Obama stayed at the Karachi home of a prominent Pak politician, Ahmad Mian Soomro, Soomro’s son served as President before the appointment of Pak President Asif Ali Zardari. In addition, the background of Obama’s visit to Pakistan, or visits?, were obscured by his supporters in reporting that he once visited Hyderabad, India on the way back from Pakistan – but it is now seeming more that the Hyderabad was Hyderabad Pakistan.
How many times has Obama been to Pakistan? Once? Or twice?
In 1981, Pakistan was under martial law. War could have come anytime. What was Obama’s fascination to go to a place that was under travel restriction? Why? There are very reliable reports that Ann Dunham, Obama’s mother, worked and lived off and on in Pakistan during sojourns as a consultant to the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
I ask this exactly at this time, and precisely because of the current Islamic terrorist attacks in India, India which has suffered so much at the hands of Islamists not only for decades but for centuries.
I made comment yesterday as the first reports of the attacks began – the first word in my mind was “Pakistan” and “Islamic terrorists”. Many Americans do not understand the long, deep, roots of politicized Islamic terror that run directly to the Moslem Brotherhood and other such 20th Century politicized Islamic movement that did not begin in the Middle East, but began in the heart of what we now call Pakistan.
But when I heard the word “Pakistan” in my mind, it was the voice of Obama saying it. Obama says the word like a native – “PAWQ-es-Stan”.
Why? Why does he say the word Pakistan just like a native, and what was he looking for there?
I ask the question. I ask, and I will ask and I will tell all the liberals freaks to go to hell.
I am currently in the S.F. Bay Area – and I have already heard the liberal freaks comments in regards to these horrific Islamic terrorist attacks that have occurred in India yesterday, and into today, what is becoming India’s 911. And do you know what the liberal freaks are already saying?
That “it’s America’s fault” – that these terrorist attacks are the fault of America.
That it is “America’s image” abroad that are the root cause of these attacks upon India and the world. This is what the liberal freaks, the San Francisco Democrats are saying.
And they say that Obama will bring about a new, positive, image for America.
I say, what role did the Pakistani ISI have in this? I say, what role Pakistan? What role Islamic terrorists?
And I ask these liberal San Francisco freaks who are more interested in investigation the Mormon Church then they are in investigating the Islamic terrorist threat to the S.F. Bay Area – what was their “messiah’s” interest in Pakistan that made him travel so far to a restricted place under martial law, what is it that he was looking for there?
Why?
What country’s passport was he carrying?
There was a time when Pakistan was a much more viable travel destination if one was adventurous. Out of the way and exotic for sure, but so is Mumbai.
Bookmark for later. Lots of interesting, unanswered questions on this thread.
“Is there reason to believe that Obama is involved in this Mumbai terrorist attack?”
It would make a great distraction from all the B.C. lawsuits that are gaining traction, wouldn’t it?
I think Pakistan took his lunch money which is why he always talks about bombing it. That and he cannot properly pronounce Pakistan and we all know not properly pronouncing words is a sign of being a dimwit.
Didn’t spend much time in Bombay or Delhi but did in the south - Madras, Bangalore, Cochin, Mysore and more eye opening was Kashmir.
Meaning that AQ and/or unnamed Muslim jihadis want to take attention away from 0bama’s BC? I doubt if that was their motive. Surely you’re not serious?
Indeed. Not serious.
Sorry - I am kind of a literalist...
