Pakistan Islamists to protest against US bin Laden raid

Anti-American sentiment runs high in Pakistan

Wow now we really did it...got the militants and terrorist mad at us...

They claim to embrace and love death...so we gave him what he wanted a martyr's death..

" Pakistan’s most influential Islamist party " The implication is that Pakistan was indeed hiding Usama Bin Laden. It is time for us to totally withdraw from the middle east. There is nothing to be gained by staying there...

The right is awaiting their marching orders...they are being airdropped MRI's of talking points to nourish their empty little heads ...It looks as though they see the elimination of the greatest mass murderer of Americans since TOJO is a bad thing because it might upset the pakistan street. Yes they are that sensitive to international concerns/s/

Bush threw 11 billion at the ISI to stop Bin Ladens operations in their country. Why would they ever do that? Alqueda is their reserve force in their eventual war with India. IsI aided the Mumbai terrorists attackers, in other words ...kindred spirits in a cluster @!$%#ey kind of way with Bush.

Yawn...... The US government killed a terrorist. Buried him at sea. Won't release his picture.... Sounds like we're depriving them of their martyrdom of Osama... Too bad.. Personally, I like the way our president is handling this as it could get nasty.

The ball is now in the Pakistan governments court. The radicals may step over a line and the Government will be hard pressed to take a stand at some time. Most likely scenario, the government pays the party off some how and makes the thing go away.

If the Islamist Party causes great violence I think they will cut off thier nose to spite their face.

Well As much as I vehemently disagree with the right that does not mean in the macro if certain questions they ask now are not answered ...I want to know everything about this raid...and I think any federal elected representative should be allowed to view evidence we might not be privy to....Every president after Obama is going to get so much more of a media infotainment circus that surround anything vaguely extraordinary, republican or democrat, thats a reality that we haven't caught up with mentally.

As some one said, if they were worried about Osama Bin Laden, they should have talked him out of a war against America.

I have no respect for Muslim or Republican bigots.

This is an inevitable consequence of our dysfunctional relationship with Pakistan. We were more closely aligned with India until 9/11, and paid little attention to friendly relations with them until we were attacked. Bush--in one of the few acts of foreign policy that made some sense--reached out to Pakistan, knowing full well that if we didn't, radicals driven from Afghanistan would just trot across the border. At the risk of alienating India, we chose to make Pakistan an "ally".

The problem is, you can't simply throw money at a country and expect them to call you friend.

We have consistently violated Pakistan's sovereignty, whether the reasons are justified or not, and whether backroom deals were reached with some of its shaky leadership. (Knowing full well that more than one government agency has its hands on the controls of their government.)

Their people are angry with the US and see no commonality with us. The corrupt government pocketed any of the "bribes" we have extended, and in return, have given us permission to kill people within their borders using technology that is far from surgically precise. Unfortunately, those same officials have done a pretty good job of running a double game, blaming us while they gave permission.

So what did we expect? This is a foreign policy nightmare and we need to clarify our position with Pakistan in a meaningful way.

Pakistan is certainly an uncertain at best. Keep your enemies close is probably more appropriate to our relations with them. When you have guys like Abdul Qadeer Khan selling centrifuge technology to the likes of Iran, Libya and North Korea, helping with nuclear proliferation to these countries you gotta wonder. What did the Pakistan government do but put him under house arrest for a couple years and now the guy is out on his own recognicance? You gotta wonder what type of ally Pakistan really is.
