2017-07-07 |
[DAWN] US Senator John MaverickMcCain ... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution. As an ordinary citizenhe greased the infamous hookers peeing on the Obamabed in Moscowdossier in an attempt to smear President Trump... ’s warning that if Pakistain does not stop supporting the Haqqani network, the United States should change its ’behaviour’ towards the Pak nation reflects the changing mood in Washington towards a country once considered a close ally. Senator McCain, who was in Islamabad recently before flying over to Kabul, said he had conveyed this message to Pakistain’s civilian and military leaders as well. "We have made it very clear that we expect they [Pakistain] will cooperate with us, particularly against the Haqqani network and against terrorist organizations," he said at a news briefing on Tuesday in Kabul. "If they don’t change their behaviour, maybe we should change our behaviour towards Pakistain as a nation." According to some Pak sources, the terse statement came even though during a briefing by top military officials Mr McCain and his team were repeatedly informed that Pakistain had severed its links with members of the Haqqani network. They added that if any bully boyz were found inside Pakistain they would be jugged Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! and prosecuted. |
