I agree that Pakistan is not the most reliable partner that we could have over there, but sometimes you have to work with what you got, in order to accomplish the goals you're after.

Thank you Mr. Colin Powell.

It seems to me that Pakistan was two inches away from getting blown off the map, just like their brothers in the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, and by the graces of the United States, they were spared a horribly and fiery death.

I do not believe Pakistan has the moral prerogative to "bill us" for anything. They should take our handouts and payments whenever we feel like remitting them, and if they bark, we should show them footage of what a Daisy Cutter looks like.

America and Europe have extremely short memories, and the Pakistanis know this. We should never let them forget that we gave them an easy way out of the mess they got themselves into, and therefore they need to be on their best behavior.
