#1 Perhaps it has something to do with reports that Pakistani folks gave the green light before the attack, so that the mistake was Pakistani. Or more likely it has something to do with Pakistani military intelligence hiding Bin Laden for years. Perhaps the Pakistani response afterwards of cutting off supplies and such was responsible.

Maybe Pakistan should worry less about apologies and more about the Jihadi and Madrases in their midst that are putting them on a collision course.

#2 Because the Pakistanis fired first and kept on firing even after the air support showed up? Oh, and that little thing about a jihadi supply base right under their noses.

#3 Ever work around an ex-con?
Everything is about 'respect'. They wear you out with it, respect this, respect that, "I'm not getting my respect".
A man who has never done anything in his life to warrant respect pissing and crying all day long about how he don't get his respect.
That is Pakistain.

#5 Jim, so you are saying that Pakistan is the Rodney Dangerfield of countries?

Except that Rodney was funny.

#6 I've got yer apology rat-cheer, Pakistain:

We're sorry you're such backstabbing, worthless bastards.

Your opportunity to pretend you can be an actual nation has failed miserably - for all the world to ~~point and laugh~~ see. Give it up and fade back into the oblivion you so richly deserve.

#7 Well, Pakistan is funny, too ... but not in the funny 'ha-ha-ha' way. It's funny in a cynical and sick-joke sort of way.

#8 I'm wondering where that image I saw of Pakistan-as-Fredo-Corleone went.
