Pakistan is the darling of our our Progressive bi-partisan elites. That nation gets billions in aid and Pakistanis get preferences in immigration visas. American taxpayers pay for their college education here and we sell them weapons that we refuse to give to other allies like Colombia. Despite this, Pakistan is anything but grateful. They turn a blind eye and even assist Taliban attacks on US forces in Afghanistan. Now it turns out their Intelligence Service, the ISI, was promoting attacks on American targets.
WASHINGTON: US officials say there is mounting evidence that Pakistan’s chief intelligence agency has been encouraging a Pakistan-based militant network to attack US targets.
The allegations, if fully confirmed, heighten a painful dilemma for President Barack Obama’s administration. Washington is under growing political pressure to take action against the Haqqani network after a spate of deadly attacks US officials have attributed to it. These include last week’s strike against the American Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Some US intelligence reporting alleges that Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence directorate (ISI) specifically directed, or urged, the Haqqani network to carry out the Sept. 13 attack on the embassy and a NATO headquarters in Kabul, according two US officials and a source familiar with recent US-Pakistan official contacts. However, officials cautioned that this information is uncorroborated.
Another US official familiar with internal government assessments said that at the very least, the available intelligence strongly suggests the ISI has been egging on elements of the Haqqani network to launch attacks at American targets in the region.

Our alliance with Pakistan is base on outdated Cold War thinking. Those days are long gone and it’s time to reflect the new reality. Pakistan is an enemy of the US. Our State Department is filled with Islamophiles and Arabists. They are shills for the interest of Pakistan and don’t allow a new foreign policy based on the current situation.
The Pakistanis view themselves as part of Dar Al Islam. They view us as their kuffar servants and the way our government kisses up to them, you can’t blame them. We have even prevented Indian retaliations against Pakistani supported terror attacks. It’s time to realize that Pakistan is an enemy and India is our friend.
This Pro-Pakistan policy will not change until the Islamophiles in the State Department are fired. This will only occur if we have a Conservative Republican President. Don’t expect Obama in a 2nd term to make the changes needed. Neither would a Rockefeller/Compassionate Conservative/Progressive Republican do this. That’s why this election is crucial. America is on an unsustainable course.
