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.”

As far as her comments that in spite of the american aid why are the people against american; the americans are not kids they know the reasons for that one one hand they call pakistan as an ally an on the other hand they are not willing to believe the pakistani government or army! the americans are carrying out drone attacks on pakistani soil in blatant violation of pakistan’s sovereignty and pakistan is still an ally…they are helping anti pakistan elements in nwfp and balochistan and still pakistan is an ally…they are already treating pakistan as an enemy in the guise of ally so i dont think anything worse will happen in that respect…

if pakistan is supporting the killings of americans in afghanistan they are doing the same by supporting ttp and baloch separatists, if aq khan is our hero (what has that to do with americans)…are we the 51st state of america that we should believe in those ideals that the americans have?? as far as CIA is concerned they can go to hell, but they should leave pakistan alone…
