US dismisses lies attributed to Holbrooke by Pak daily
The usual Pakistani noise machine. It's been this way forever.The US on Saturday dismissed remarks attributed to its Special Af-Pak Envoy Richard Holbrooke that the Obama administration would not accept any slackness by the Pakistan Army in the fight against Taliban due to the military's engagement in flood relief efforts. A statement issued by the US embassy said Holbrooke had been misquoted by a Pakistani daily as saying during an interaction with the media yesterday that America would not accept slackness by the Pakistan Army in the war on terror. The Pak press sticks to 'the narrative'- which happens to be schtoopid-psycho. "At no time did Ambassador Holbrooke make such a statement. Both the headline of the article and the quote in the article were fabricated," the statement said. Now THAT'S a denial!
