2008-12-07
Democratic [sic] presidential candidate in the recent US elections and US senator John McCain has said that America's new management would respect the sovereignty of Pakistan.
He said that during his presidential campaign, he had opposed the violation of Pakistan borders.
He said this during a meeting with prime minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani here on Saturday. On this occasion, senator McCain also said that the Pressler amendment was a blunder. He said that during his presidential campaign, he had opposed the violation of Pakistan borders. Regarding Mumbai carnage, Yousuf Raza Gilani said that Pakistan had offered India the setting up a joint commission. The prime minister reiterated his resolve that the Pakistan territory would not be allowed to be used for terrorism.

#9  How about promising to stop, but not stopping, just stop claiming credit. These Fackers live by lying to themselves and everyone else, give them their own shiite right back!
Of course Syed, we'll cease blowing terrorists up in your homeland "BOOOM" - that wasn't us. See, we can all just get along.

#7  This is a Pakistani sopurce putting spin on whatever he said. Here is what it sounds like in India.

US Senator John McCain has said he believes that if Pakistan does not act against individuals and groups linked to the Mumbai terror attacks, it could be a "matter of days" before India carries out surgical strikes against such elements. There is enough evidence of the involvement of former Inter-Services Intelligence officers in the planning and execution of the Mumbai attacks and terrorist training camps are still operational in Pakistan, McCain told a small group of senior Pakistani journalists at an informal lunch in Lahore yesterday. Ejaz Haider, a senior editor with the Daily Times group, quoted McCain as saying that he believed it could be a "matter of days" before India carried out surgical air strikes if Pakistan did not act on the evidence provided to it on elements linked to the attacks.

#6  Respect that the borders are inviolable, or that there are areas within those borders where the Pakistani government does actually exercise some measure of control that ought to be acknowledged? Senator McCain is a politician; blunt-spoken as he can be, I'm sure he can also be diplomatic when he thinks that is called for. For a given definition of diplomatic, I mean.

#5  Now, now, he's the fella saying nice things in public, and likely nasty things in private. Politicians and diplomats frequently say bland, stoopid stuff in public; that's their job.
