Pakistan Bitches about US Raid in Waziristan

The Pakistani parliament passed a resolution unanimously asking the Pakistani government to tell the ISAF that raids into Pakistan are "bound to force fundamental changes of foreign policy". So I guess that mean Pakistan would openly support the terrorists.

The resolution passed by the Pakistani parliament also asked the government to "repel such attacks in the future with full force". If Pakistan actually went after the terrorists with "full force" then there would be no need for US raids into Pakistan. I never heard of an "ally" that would complain every time someone would help kill the enemy. Dawn


This was the strongest-worded joint stance to date by both treasury and opposition benches in Pakistan’s parliament over any of the numerous alleged violations of the Pakistani territory by the coalition forces hunting Al Qaeda and Taliban militants and came at a sensitive time two days before the presidential election.

“The house calls upon the government of Pakistan to take all necessary measures to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country and repel such attacks in the future with full force,” the resolution said about what Pakistan says was the coalition forces’ first ground assault into the area after three helicopters brought troops to a village near the well-known militant stronghold of Angoor Adda to target some houses.

Both Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi in the National Assembly and leader of house Raza Rabbani in the Senate said in their prepared remarks before tabling the resolution in their respective chambers that the attacks “constitutes a serious escalation in the series of actions by the Isaf/coalition forces on Pakistani territory”.

over any of the numerous alleged violations of the Pakistani territory...

Oh yeah? And what about countless violations of Afghan/ISAF territory by the pedophile Taliban? Was there any mention of that?
