Pakistan’s Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has warned the United States against further incursions into his country following the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, saying that future strikes would be met with “full force.”
“Pakistan reserves the right to retaliate with full force. No one should underestimate the resolve and capability of our nation and armed forces to defend our sacred homeland.”
Pakistan scrambled jet fighters and sent forces to bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad as soon as they were aware of the raid, but they did not arrive in time to interdict American forces, Gilani said.
Summing up the current state of American-Pakistani relations, Richard Haas, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, told CNN: “At best, we’re a limited partner and often the emphasis should be on the word ‘limited’ rather than ‘partner.’ It makes the American military and the American intelligence services incredibly suspicious of their Pakistani counterparts.”

This is rather amazing in my opinion. I can completely understand the sentiments of the Pakistani leader because it is his sovereign territory which was being invaded for this mission to occur without his prior approval.

Well great, yet another possible war that could be started by the U.S. When will America realize it can't rule the world for itself...

you sure about that buds? you know maybe they're getting suspicious of us and all since we are the ones invading their territory, that's kind of suspicious if you ask me.

Imagine what would have occurred had those Paki jet fighters arrived to the compound before the US Navy Seals left. That could have turned out horrible!

When will the world realize that the USA is an empire, and that we already rule the world whether they like it or not?
