You’re wrong on this issue. She is stating facts to truth. And rather than being the usually polite but obtuse diplomat, she’s unloaded bigtime on the Pakistanis, who’ve been thinking and behaving all along as though Americans are stupid and gullible.
Well, no more. Islamic terrorists have been organizing, training, and operating from Pakistan’s territory. Nuclear materials and engineering knowledge have flowed to other rogue nations from Pakistan. America could eliminate a major part of our problems by nuking Pakistan but instead we’ve been treating them like responsible adults.
At least she is talking to them. I wouldn’t bother - the lack of veracity in Pakistan’s ruling elite means diplomatic relations is for naught.
Actually, it’s worse than that. We stabbed our buddy Musharraf in the back when he became a political liability back here - one guy who understood the threat of terrorism and was prepared to deal with it.
In any event. I think Hillary’s off the Obama reservation on this one. She, like her husband, has always been kinda hawkish (remember she was for invading Iraq before she decided to be against it). She can talk all the tough talk at Pakistan that she wants, but her boss won’t back her up on it.
I know she’s right on issue. I was talking in terms of diplomacy. The administration didn’t want to engage them directly until recently when it’s leaked that Bush was invited to a dinner. They had been in power for more than 9 months, Al Qaeda had been roaming for long, and yet only now decided to tell what it is.
