US stands firmly behind Pakistan's civilian govt: Hillary
[Dawn] The B.O. regime says it hopes Pakistain will resolve a deepening political crisis in a way that strengthens the civilian government.Secretary of State  Hillary Rodham Clinton... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzlaand at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Charles Evans Hughes... is acknowledging "a lot of concerns" about instability in Pakistain. She said the US stands "strongly in favor of a democratically elected civilian government." But she said Paks themselves must resolve their issues in a legal and transparent way. Pakistain's president left Thursday on a one-day trip abroad, amid widening speculation over the army's intentions. Pakistain's prime minister fired the defense secretary Wednesday. Clinton said she conveyed US positions on Wednesday, when she welcomed Pakistain's new ambassador. Posted by: Fred 2012-01-13 |
