Pakistan must be mindful of US interests: Obama

WASHINGTON: US President Barack Obama said on Thursday the United States would not be comfortable in a long-term strategic relationship with Pakistan if it felt that Islamabad was not mindful of US interests.

Obama told a news conference the United States remained committed to helping Pakistan confront its own problems despite concern over ties between some elements of the Pakistan intelligence services with extremist groups.

“But there’s no doubt that we’re not going to feel comfortable with a long-term strategic relationship with Pakistan if we don’t think that they’re mindful of our interests as well,” Obama said.

Obama toughens tone against Pakistan

WASHINGTON: US President Barack Obama accused Pakistan Thursday of hedging its bets on Afghanistan's future and warned there were "some connections" between its intelligence services and extremists.

"I think they have hedged their bets in terms of what Afghanistan would look like and part of hedging their bets is having interactions with some of the unsavory characters who they think might end up regaining power in Afghanistan after coalition forces have left," Obama said in a White House news conference.

Pakistan must only be mindful of Pakistan's interests, no one else's.

What a turnaround we've had in recent times. We've gone from "Haqqanis being a veritable arm to the ISI" to "the intelligence linking the ISI to the Haqqanis is not clear" to "some connections" & "I think they have hedged their bets".

We are mindful of US interests as much as the are mindful of our interests.

it is quite simple you Reap what you sow , US never cared for Pakistan Why should we care for them, They never defended us why should we Defend them , They never fought any war for us Why should we fight a War for them , They never do what we ask them why should we do what they want ? . they never did even a little for us why should we DO MORE?

It is said for friends like USA that "You dont need enemies when you have friends like these(US) "

USA can go to He*l for all i care , if you dont care about my country & its people then you are nothing but a black dot that i want to erase .

In the great words of Frank Lucas from The American Gangster -- " we are thinking about them as much as they are thinking about us"

P.S It is Khaloti and not Kharoti

I can recall a saying " Words that do not match deeds are unimportant"

Khaloti or Kharoti, not important when it comes to the issues related to your country.

BTW Kharoti is a valid Punjabi word, Khaloti is also accepted along with Khari. Its all about the accent and region you belong to.

Sorry for being off topic

Sure. Give all 185 million people in Pakistan U.S. citizenship then maybe they will place U.S. interests before their's.

Why would anyone work for any other country's interests before their's is beyond me.

What do you think of people of Pakistan, Mr Obama? Pakistani people also deserve the very best like you want for your American people.

What 'long term strategic relationship'?

What exactly is the US offering through this 'long term strategic relationship' to Pakistan, that in turn deserves, according to Obama, respect and understanding for US interests?

NSG exemption? Civilian nuclear deal? Free Trade Agreement?

None of the above is on the cards, so what is this 'long term strategic relationship'?
