Pakistan might better look to the Russia and China, France for cooperation and protection from the U.S. led NATO forces. Perhaps more nations should get involved here because it appears the U.S. forces are incompetent. Obviously wrongs have been committed here and not by Pakistan.

Most of the money given to Pakis have gone to those in military, in power and in ISI to built mansions in Dubai and built their own retirements. Pakistan cannot be a friend of USA anymore than a cobra can be a harmless pet.

Who cares? Paki people have no good relations among themselves. Why would they have any good relations with USA? Most of the Pakis hate USA anyways. So, let them go to Jannam.

tell the Paki's to hold that thought...the cut off is acomin'. Our parting shot should be drone shots right down on the ISI's Headquarters.

We should focus on our efforts with India istead of the lunatics in Pakistan.

MONEY CAN'T BUY LOVE, RESPECT OR FRIENDS...

Mr. Ambassador I'm GLAD You And Your People DON'T Need The Annual $2 Billion Dollars In U.S. Aid That The Tax Payers Are Giving You...

`

WE THE PEOPLE Can't Afford To BUY The Hearts And Minds Of The Pakistanis, So I Hope The U.S. AID That Was Given To The Pakistanian Government Over The Years Was Spent On The People!

I Agree Mr. Ambassador The U.S. Spent Trillions On The Wars In Iraq, Afghanistan And Tracking Down Osama Bin Laden!

We Could Have Saved TRILLIONS On The HUNT For Osama Bin Laden And On The War On Terror, If We Had Just Taken A Drive Through The Streets Of Pakistan...

UNFORTUNATELY, For The U.S. We Spent Alot Of MONEY, TIME, ENERGY And AMERICAN LIVES Looking For Osama Bin Laden In Every Country, But YOURS!

Mr. Ambassador If America's World Leaders, Ambassadors And Diplomats BENEFIT From The U.S. AID GIVEN To Your Country, Then They Will Have To Find Another Way To Reach Out The People Of Pakistan...

If Our Leaders Need A Way To WIN Over The Hearts And The Minds Of The Pakistanis, Then PEACE CORP Maybe An Option...

Trying To BUY Influence With The HOPE Of Winning Over The Hearts And Minds Of The People... PRICELESS...

Unfortunately, WE THE PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD To BUY Your Friendship At This Time...

If The People Of Pakistan Didn't Like The U.S. When We Gave Them AID, NOW They'll Have Another Reason To Hate Us!

I Guess We're Damned If We Do And Damned If We Don't!

Mr. Ambassador Since The U.S. AID That Pakistan Gets Is RELATIVELY SMALL, You WON'T Miss It Once It Gone...

With Over $17 Billion Dollars In U.S. AID Given To The Government Of Pakistan, I Don't Think The PEOPLE Recieved $1 RUPEE...

If The Pakistanis Ever Wonder Where The $17 Billion In U.S. AID Went, Just KNOW YOUR GOVERNMENT Has The Funds WE THE PEOPLE Gave You And Your Chilren For A Better Life...

Pakistan is working against us and we are supplying the means. This is such a sick joke. Better idea: Take that money and help relocate the OWS rabble to Pakistan, please.

NOW is the time to leave Afghanastan and no longer care about the middle east cut ALL aid immediately to only Israel our closest friend...Pull our troops out of North Korea and Okinawa to the great country of Australia! Pull all troops out of Europe as well. Europe will soon be under going a civil war/strife! France will be surrendering to the highest bidders as usual!

Despite Herman Cain’s having far more managerial experience than any President in American history, the media—which has used hearsay, gossip and gutter politics to slime him--is now beating the “Libya drum” in order to equate his intellect with Sarah Pain’s.

In two short weeks, the media has become the mouthpiece of America’s corrupt elite and the Democratic Plantation who don’t want a conservative Black CEO’s vision for America.

Having crossed every ethical line, the media is acting like a pack of racists who fear that they might “get stuck with” a second ethnic minority as President.

America’s corrupt elite don’t want Cain who has said that the first thing that he’ll do when he’s in office is find out where all of the stimulus money went. They fear Cain who knows how to balance a budget and make government smaller, more efficient and accountable so that money can’t just disappear.

America’s corrupt elite don’t want Cain’s flat-tax plan because it will de-corrupt” Congress by preventing them from creating tax loopholes and write-offs for their good buddies. His plan will make all taxes visible and easily monitored and controlled by voters, so that Congress can’t “sneak-add” taxes to goods and services. His plan will lower the cost of goods and makes them competitive, because it’s a "tax-once only" system rather than the current system that taxes goods multiple times from production to the marketplace.

Everyone who has taken the time to get to know Cain knows that he is smart, well-read, cares deeply about America and her future, and understands—as does former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker—that America is hurling towards economic destruction, and we have little time left to turn our economy around.

I personally don't care whether Cain knows where Libya is--as long as he supports his generals whose job it is to protect America—unlike President Obama who has fired generals who disagreed with him.

I care that Cain understands that America’s economic strength is as critical as her military mite.

I care that Cain is the only presidential candidate who has a plan that will create 12 million jobs, revive our economy and make us competitive in the world again (cf. analysis by CNN anchor Erin Burnett’s OutFront economic strike force team, Oct. 2011).

I care that Cain believes in peace through strength, in knowing who our enemies and our friends are, and in helping our friends and not helping our enemies. Unlike President Obama, Cain won’t throw Israel under the bus. I care about that, too.

Unfortunately, too many Americans care about gossip, hearsay, gutter politics and one’s ethnicity and political affiliation—rather than what a person stands for and the person’s record of accomplishments.

I pray that Americans will join Cain in his fight to save our economy and to rid America of its Culture of Corruption. Otherwise, it won’t be much longer before we won’t have a Herman Cain or even a country called America to kick around.

Believe me, Americans will win the "hearts and minds" of Pakistani people by stopping all aid to Pakistan. Forget the goverment. Listen to the people. They are begging you to stop all aid. They can no longer be your hired gun. They are fed up with your failed policy. Accept the defeat and get overself, America !!
