Interesting comments on how the Davis case could backfire on Pakistan

Some officials and analysts believe, however, that the army is in danger of overplaying its hand on this occasion. “This issue, with this Congress, could become really more problematic than anything we’ve had,” says Christine Fair, assistant professor at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. “The Pakistanis have been very ungracious about American support. We’ve been the biggest donors in terms of flood relief. And yet, the Saudis and the Chinese who’ve donated a fraction of that get all the genuflection.”

“There are people in this town,” adds Washington-based Fair, “who are simply saying, ‘F— this, let’s just call Pakistan the enemy.’ They are saying Pakistan is supporting the killing of our troops in Afghanistan, they’re supporting the LeT, they call [the rogue Pakistani nuclear scientist] AQ Khan a national hero. The fact that the CIA is coming to this conclusion should be very worrisome for Pakistan. For years, the CIA was the only organization in this town that would defend the Pakistanis.”

Biggest donors??

Pakistan spent $43 billion on this pointless war which has damaged the pakistan nation more than any other. What compensation did Pak get? kerry luger bill $7.5 billion and that is with conditions attached!

do the maths pakistan lose again.

Since pak government allow america into the nation the economy has been destroyed, they have US facilities in every corner of country, we have drone attacks on our people daily, we have the xe/blackwater attacking our city centers and blaming shia or sunni or taliban imaginary figures.

And now we have so called US diplomats who are are ex green beret and cia agents who take pictures of military installations and then shoot people in the back 10 times.

Pakistan does not need america cut the links the war will be over and Pakistan can concentrate on rebuilding itself.
