Obama To Visit Pakistan

[fd24]

I think it is clear to all that Obama is already planning on a "re elect me campaign please". He will without fail slag off the Pakistanis wherever possible as this will be seen back home as a vote winning excercise. I agree with Bilal bhai. They will save face publically but its clear irrevocable damage has been done and the relationship can and will never be the same.
I wish our leaders had the balls to tell America to shove their so valled aid to where the sun dont shine as i know we would become stronger without the interference of USA

for security reasons, i am almost 85% sure they wont announce the day of his arrival or departure.....they'll have dummy vehicles set up, and traffic in the federal capital will probably be kept to a standstill

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

I guess hilly-billy will be flying in from Tripoli, considering she's with the Libyan rebels (NTC) at this current time

Empty visits just cost a hefty amount of money for security arrangement's and exotic food and wine. Pakistani economy can not afford this. Visits that do not result in economic benefits for both parties are not welcome. But if he is coming to really mend ties with Pakistani PEOPLE (not gov), then he should come with hands full. 65 nuclear reactor in a similar deal as with India, technology transfer for mining sector and stopping to interfere in Pakistan's internal matters.

Relax bahi He is just coming for a 2 hour lunch period then off he goes again.

Why Pakistanis are so stupid that they even invite a murderer, a chor, extremist and fraudie (from different countries) and forget about all what happened before?/.

Peace

welcome sir obama..lets talk about peace...let zardari,haqqani and obama have dinner on same table...lets make history and peace shall prevail.

Banned after ONE post. Is that a record?

On topic, Obama is coming here to push American interests. He will be talking down to us, not with us.

However, since he has decided to invite himself, we can do nothing but be gracious hosts.

 

[Mike2011]

Why would Obama visits pakistan. where is that damn phone.................W bush used.

 

[RiazHaq]

As a guest, Obama should be welcomed and treated with respect in Pakistan.

Pakistanis need to be civil and respectful with all guests, as Pakistani culture and traditions demand, even if there are serious disagreements with Obama's policies.

And Pakistanis can always say NO to US aid, and the demands that come with it.

Although refusing US aid will hurt the anti-poverty efforts, higher education and infrastructure development programs to some extent unless made up by raising greater tax revenues to replace it, it is theoretically possible to say No to the US aid without a big negative short-term impact on Pakistan's economy.

However, Pakistan would be well advised to not seek confrontation with Washington even after refusing US aid. Why? The reason is simply that the United States is the architect and the unquestioned leader of the international order that emerged after the WW II and this system still remains largely intact. Not only is the US currency the main reserve and trade currency of the world, the US also dominates world institutions like the UN and its agencies, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Haq's Musings: Can Pak Tell US: "Take This Aid and Shove It!" ?

Watch him cancel his visit in last minute and visit India instead.

SOOOO True!!

 

[Windjammer]

Guys, remember, since the storm between US and America started brewing, no high level delegate from Pakistan has visited Washington with the exception of our foreign minister, who was there for the UN session.
Since it's a self invitation visit by the President, it's a good opportunity to convey the message....
We believe in peace, but no peace at any price.

from january 2012 obama will be worried about saving his seat and chances in the office for the next term. For that theres gonna be many national bus tours and politcal rallies. I doubt there will any visit to Pakistan or even other countries.

 

[third eye]

This cuts both ways.

If between now & Jan things between US & Pak improve he can claim points at home for having turned things around in a potentially dangerous situation.

.. and if they dont improve or deterioate he can cancell his trip or worse come & foul mouth the hosts and yet claims points for being assertive.
