Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made an unannounced trip to Pakistan to meet with President Asif Ali Zardari and other senior officials on Friday, a move U.S. officials say was designed to gauge the state of the uneasy alliance between the two nations.

As the New York Times puts it: “It did not appear to go well.”

Press opportunities were few and far between during Clinton’s short trip to Islamabad, but when reporters did get a look at the interaction between Clinton and Zardari there was plenty of awkwardness and few smiles.

Ufft~ Take a look at her pic there, tired,bloated,unkept.

Hillary looks like she`s been awake and didn`t bathe for 48 hours.

Besides that, another victory for destroyer obama. Driving another country into the hands of the muslim brotherhood and into strategic relationships with China and Russia.

Everything is going according to his plan. Or at least: somebody’s plan.

Just sending a woman is an insult to muslims.

Oh wait, did we send a woman?

We attacked them first, then sent a tired woman to see how they felt about it.

Pakistan claimed after 9/11 we said cooperate or we start bombing. You can’t tell these countries we’re withdrawing from everywhere, and expect them to heed us.

IIRC, there was a brief time after we invaded Iraq, when even Syria & Iran were minding their P’s and Q’s. Then everyone here got cold feet and our enemies started preying on us again.

Obama is making us look so weak it’s crazy. He throws our allies under the bus (Israel and Egypt), he promotes relations with people sworn against us or working with them (Iran and Syria), he shows his cards on Iraq and Afganistan (withraw troops, disengage), and just the other day said he has “ruled out” ground troops for Libya. Now its not that I want him to send troops, but the minute you say you rule it out, it lets every nation know exactly where they stand. Syria, which hasnt yet been bombed can act more visciously than Qaddafi knowing that the threshold is higher. And anyway from their persepctive, there is no point in these countries cooperating with us, because Obama is not true to his friends and allies anyway!

A complete mess which the GOP candidates have to hammer on.

Use firefox with no problem; IE 8 though, exhibits the problem.

Wonder if it has anything to do with the YouTube vids being embedded in every thread now?

Same as others - no problem with Firefox

“a move U.S. officials say was designed to gauge the state of the uneasy alliance between the two nations.”

A likely excuse. Hillary went there to stock up on hashish.

“tired,bloated,unkept.
Hillary looks like she`s been awake and didn`t bathe for 48 hours.”

She was just trying to fit in with the locals.
