Arrogance in display. India is a sovereign nation and its livelihood depends on affordable energy. US telling India to cut off Iranian oil consumption is akin to Pakistan telling US to cut off alcohol consumption. The relations will sour -India has a long history of neutrality (that's why they were capable of advancing from the real poverty to the road of some prosperity. Why is China amicable in letting Chen and family travel (after obtaining exit visa)to US- what did HRC promise in quid pro quo. Remember the financial strangling methods to toe the Obama/HRC line- Obama/US promised to include China in the list not to be on the sanctions list. HRC is telling the same line to India- but they have no quid pro quo like China/US. Were are all the real diplomats that used to make US the master diplomat?

Over 5.00 a gallon in some parts of Canada

Yup, go Bill.... Probably why this country is so Fu(ked up in the first place.... He was to busy cheating on his wife when Osama Bin Laden bombed the US COLE, now if Clinton wasn't to busy getting Pu$$y in the oval office, but went after bin laden.... we might not of had a 9/11... Take that democrats!

Because the US is the biggest BULLY of the world, here we have a government that will tell the states that they can make their own laws, but when the states do, the FEDS still come in and arrest people for following state laws.... Take for example the cannabis Prohibition, here they are still letting states decide, but the feds still can come in and arrest you!!!! Talk about hypocrisy!!! Now I see why we have kids in our schools acting the way they do, they see daddy and mommy bullying the citizens of the United States and their kids think they can do the same in schools. Has anyone ever noticed kids who belong to cops, Fed agents, or even in politics... They all think that they don't have to answer for their actions for the fact they see their parents do the same! America is dead, its not who is the best for the position.... Its about who you know and how much money you have!!! FU(KING SAD!!!!

I think you are the only one who
understand the history & the US=Pakistan
struggle for the free world, but here is a problem, when govt change here the
policies also diverts, the problem is we are so short of memories. India always
get benefits of its size , & we are so stupid we ignore Latin America, we
ignore Africa at the cost of India, SaudiArbia business with USA is 3 times
higher than India despite the size, we are Ignoring Pakistan( which is a sort
of Protective wall against aggression towards Muslims in Muslims mind) &
the result is 1.5 billion Muslims ignore us not only that they that they are
sitting on most of world energy resources. thanks unaware of the facts

India fails to drive wedge between Pakistan
Army

and Pentagon: Cooperation growing

After
failing to kill the

Kerry Lugar Bill, the Bharati (aka Indian) lobbies are out in full force trying
hard to drive a wedge between the Pakistan Army and the Pentagon as well as attempting
to cause friction between the Civilian Government and the Pakistani

Military leadership. Spiffy news is one of most virulent Anti-Pakistani news site
out there. This site and the lobbyists are now conjuring up the propaganda that
the Pakistani Army is sparing the Anti-American insurgents while concentrating
on the Anti-Pakistani elements. Duh! Its a matter of priorities. Pakistan
faces Indian sponsored terror in its

cities almost on a daily basis. The Army will go after those terrorists who are
responsible for the bombs going off in Islamabad.

The duty of the Pakistani Army is to go after Anti-Pakistani elements—not Anti-French,
Anti-Korean and Anti-German elements. Those countries have the ware withal to
deal with their enemies.

A batter of rented writers

are spewing their usual baloney against Pakistan
and the valiant efforts of

the Pakistani Army. The Pakistanphobes are busy writing their little stories.

Here is Spiffy News and their usual claptrap. One the one hand, they are

chagrined at the Pentagon’s eulogy which refutes Bharati claims, and on the

other hand, they continue to sow seeds of dissention and doubt. Senator Kay Hagan of the

India Caucus had come prepared to besmirch Pakistan.
However the Foreign

Relations Committee cleverly avoided to give her a microphone. Hagan and her

Bharati sponsors went home very disappointed. The Spiffy goat droppings rehash

old conspiracy theories which have been discredited and bunked by the US and also by Pakistan.
Let's face it. When it comesto the Pentagon ,the Pakistani military can do no wrong. Even
if it's going after only the Pakistani Taliban and not the Afghan Taliban, which it
apparently continues to promote for strategic depth against India
and as a hedge in case the US
decides to cut and run as it did in the immediate aftermath of the erstwhile Soviet
withdrawal from Afghanistannearly
three decades ago. During the past few
yearstop US military officers with direct command of American troops in
Afghanistan and strategic policy toward Pakistan and the south and central
Asian region,

testifying before Congressional committees continued to heap praise on the

Pakistani Army's forays against the Pakistani Taliban and extremist groups in

the Swat Valley and South Waziristan. In
the process they chose to conveniently ignore the concerns of US lawmakers
about the dual-track policy by Pakistan Army Chief General Ashfaq Kiyani's troops and the
Inter Services Intelligence. When pressed,
they argued that the only way to address the Pakistani army hedging its bets
was by providing Pakistan more security
assistance and building up the kind of strategic partnership that assured it
that this aid and US
support would be there for the long haul.
General David Petraeus, who was appearing before the Senate Foreign Relations

Committee, was asked by the panel's chairman Senator John F Kerry as to what the
US
strategy was toward the Pakistani military that was clearly hedging its bets

and going after only the Pakistani Taliban and not the Afghan Taliban. Petraeus
said it is imperative for the US to demonstrate
to Pakistan
that a "sustained, substantial commitment" would be forever available.
Petraeus said, "First of all, the developments of the last 10months
really are quite significant. Because the Pakistani leadership -- all
the political leaders, the civilian
populace, the clerics and the military --have all united in recognizing that
the internal extremists represent the most pressing existential threat to their country --
more pressing than the traditional
threat to the east. And, they have taken action in response to that recognition."
But when pressed as to how

Pakistan ultimately takes on the Afghan Taliban and eschews funding and

promoting this group, the four-star general said, "Frankly, the effort to

demonstrate a sustained, substantial commitment to Pakistan -- frankly the

Kerry-Lugar bill (which provides $1.5 billion (about Rs 67,000 crore) annually

in American largesse to Pakistan ( compare to Pakistan 3 Trillion loss in
past three decades in infrastructure & economy)over five years) is
a hugely important manifestation of that -- the level of security assistance,
foreign military financing, the Pakistan Counter-Insurgency Capability Fund and
so forth are also very important, given the history that we have with that
country and

having left it as you know a couple of times before." Earlier, Ret.
General Mc.Chrystal, US Commander in Afghanistan, (his
retirement also raise eye brows during
the very productive days of bringing war into victory & end, many
blame he is victim of Indian sponsored
lobby)appearing
before the Senate Armed Services Committee, also lavished praise on the
Pakistani army saying that" their recent actions over the last year or two
against their own internal insurgency are really a good indicator of just how
serious they are about conducting counter-insurgency operations and reducing
instability on their side."Even the US
Ambassador to

Afghanistan, and retired lieutenant general Karl Eikenberry, when asked

pointedly about the Pakistani army's dual track when it came to taking on the

Pakistan Taliban and sponsoring the Afghan Taliban for strategic depth

vis-à-vis India, only acknowledged that "the security relationship between

India and Pakistan has consequences for Afghanistan," but then said he

would rather "concentrate of Afghanistan and Pakistan

Take some medication, and see a psychiatrist, psycho paki dude.....

Because America has become the Nazi's of the Modern World... instead of death camps we have prisons, that uses the gas chamber! If other nations don't do as we say, we sanction them! Starting to sound familiar isn't it? Next we will start seeing our tanks rolling into other countries who won't bow to us, wait that's already has transpired too!!! (Iraq, Afghanistan)

irate Ken, yes we keep voting in most of the same politicians that continue it, doesn't matter if they are an R or a D, This country needs to make the tariffs equal. What one country charges us, we charge them that same %.

Any corporation that brings jobs back to the states gets huge tax cuts, the ones that don't, they pay more taxes, and the tariff on their products doubles. Either they, and the stockholders will support the USA, or get competely out, but the tariffs remain doubled.

The only way the "don't matter deficit" is going to be taken under control is putting America back to work. Higher taxes on people isn't going to do it. It's time to invest in America, and people had better wake up to that fact. And if etchy sketchy wins, in a very short time we will be like Iran, living under a "supreme leader and the Mormom Church.
