| PM walks, lavish spending but no seats for media WASHINGTON: Pakistani diplomats are unable to explain why Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and his entourage were treated almost with contempt when they arrived at the Andrews Air Force Base on Sunday afternoon. The prime minister was made to walk from his plane to the shed, almost a two-three minute walk, where at the shed gate none higher than Assistant Secretary Richard Boucher met him. During the walk, Gilani and his wife were seen quite perturbed as neither there was an ordinary carpet nor the customary red carpet, as is usual on official visits. |

| #9 Think this just might have something to do with the recent CIA presentation of evidence that the ISI is supporting/funding/training the Taliban. Can't act like the head of state in your own country, can't control your government institutions, why on earth should we treat you like the head of state??? Douche. |

| #8 Next time, pick him up in a golf cart, with a Marine sentry in battle fatigues behind him. Drive him to Base Ops, slam him up against the wall, and frisk him. Tell him, in way of explanation, that we have to be careful, since so many terrorists all around the world appear to be Pakistanis. Maybe he'll get the message. |

| #7 bigjim-ky is right. These countries are used to shitting on the west and being treated with kid gloves. The same treatment in kind is unacceptable. |

| #5 I may need to add a "Serving Colonial Masters" sub-heading to my own writing. But more of a how-to than a criticism. |

| #3 I was curious about the tone of the article, and went to the sourcing web site. Wow, skim through the articles and comments. I get a sense that the site is railing against the rest of the universe. India, Jooos, western warlords (US, europe and NATO as far as I can figure) - and virtually everyone else in the world are all arrayed against poor Pakistan. As to why, they have no clue. |
