US crafted Pakistan 'apology' to suit allies, opponents

In the end it was a meeting in a nondescript conference room in Chicago that finally set in motion the long-awaited US apology to Pakistan last week ending a seven-month impasse over NATO supply routes for the Afghan war.

The meeting in late May followed months of clamoring by Islamabad, images of flag-draped coffins on TV, and widespread outcry from Pakistanis incensed by the US air attack that killed 24 of their soldiers on the Afghan border last November.

The breakthrough, in which Islamabad reopened supply routes into Afghanistan and Washington yielded to months of Pakistani demands to apologize for the border deaths, was praised as a prelude to improved ties between two nations whose security alliance had lapsed into mutual suspicion and hostility.

After US secretary of state Hillary Clinton's discussions with Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari in the cavernous Chicago conference center where world leaders met for a Nato summit, Clinton instructed Thomas Nides, a top deputy back in Washington, to do what it took to find a solution ensuring Nato could once again supply the war in Afghanistan via Pakistan.

At the heart of last week's denouement was a carefully worded statement that allowed the United States to accommodate Pakistani indignation without opening President Barack Obama up to criticism months before presidential polls.

Just as importantly, it aimed to avoid alienating those within Obama's government who had resisted apologizing to a country many in Washington see as acting to subvert US goals in the region, even while accepting massive US aid. …

Here’s my finely-crafted apology to Pakistan ...

“Hey Pakistan, I’m sorry you have such a sorry excuse for a country and that we have to deal with you at all, and that our superior morality forbids us to do what any sensible country would do, flatten your entire landscape into a big parking lot.”

(signed, President Peter O’Donnell)

oh well, I’m definitely an alien, so fughedaboudit.

There are reasons that it is called "SUBMISSION," and "DHIMMITUDE...."

....and they are: (1) the definition of "Islam" and (2) the status one accepts (akin to live as a "Slave") after one is conquered, yet refuses to convert to the "Religion of Pieces"

Simply yet, another example of how our Islamic-Jihadist/Muslim Brotherhood, appeasing, defending, supporting Fascist, Neo-Commie, Dear Leader is acting as a surrogate tool for those who live in a perpetual state of being "Offended" and his actions prove yet again, that one of his objectives, is to facilitate the Umma's (the Muslim State) objective at World-Wide Hegemony and that includes, here in the U.S. where the Muslim Brotherhood has been operating for FIFTY YEARS and its "Stated Goal" is to "Destroy our miserable house from within."

MEANWHILE:

Obama releases captured terrorists from Prison Camps in Afghanistan; is in negotiations with the Tally-Ban to release some of their fellow "Insurgents" from GITMO and has UNILATERALLY imposed "SHARIA" (and replaced the UCMJ, United States Statutes and the Constitution, therewith) for ALL of our Armed Forces.

Yep, nodoubtaboutit--according to some of our more "Enligtened" and "Principled" Freepers--Mittens is more dangerous and more of a "Threat" than is B. Hussein Obama, so we might as well just stay home come Nov.

Makes sense to me! /sarc

Not sure who added the subtitles but they’re pretty funny, especially the “snackbar” part at the end.

US is a country that clearly lacks a backbone. It was only a matter of time. It was very clear US was going to apologize sooner or later.

As an Indian, at least in this case, I have more admiration for Pakistan then the US. The Pakis may not have a lot of things but they have brains and balls, and US has neither.
