Obama is the POTUS. He has a job to do. He is trying to do that. I am not a fan of Obama and I have never voted for him. However it surprises me to see such as continued and consistent set of anti-Obama messages emanating from Muslims. What did they expect? That America will continue sending money to Pakistan in spite of the latter’s agencies supporting the terrorists?

The saddest is the saga of drones. If the Pakistani military and spy agency had stopped the double cross and started really going after the terrorists inside Pakistan in collaboration with the US, the drone saga would not have been necessary. What’s more the terrorists would have been eliminated a long time ago, and hundreds of Pakistani lives lost in various terrorist attacks would have been spared!

There is clear and direct link between the failed policies of Pakistani military and the drones.

Well making Pakistan a scapegoat for the failures of the West would not solve the problem either. Pakistan’s blunder was to side with the US in 1979 when they created these monsters in the first place. The US left the job half done in 89 after defeating the Russians, leaving Pakistan to deal with the aftermath. Even now as the Americans blame Pakistan for the insurgency in Afghanistan, all of Eastern Afghanistan and rural areas of South Afghanistan are in talebans control. They left in 89 with an unstable Afghanistan, now they are leaving with two countries destabilized. Some times it helps to formulate policies keeping in view of the history of areas (Afghanistan and FATA) otherwise one keeps on repeating the same mistakes mistakes. Anyways drones are considered by a vast muslim population to be a symbol of US imperialism and arrogance and breeds hatred towards them.
