NATO invites Pakistan to summit in Chicago

This just in: FDR, Churchill invite Hitler to the Atlantic Conference. "NATO invites Pakistan to summit in Chicago," by Chris Brummitt and Slobodan Lekic for the Associated Press, May 16 (thanks to Maxwell):

ISLAMABAD (AP) — NATO has invited Pakistan's president to the upcoming Chicago summit on Afghanistan, the strongest sign yet that Islamabad is ready to reopen its western border to U.S. and NATO military supplies heading to the war in the neighboring country.

President Asif Ali Zardari was expected to accept the invitation, a Pakistani official in Washington said Tuesday.

Pakistan blocked the routes in November after American airstrikes killed 24 of its troops on the Afghan border. The attack sent ties between Washington and Islamabad to new lows, threatening regional cooperation needed for negotiating an end to the Afghan war.

The developments signal something of a rapprochement between the two countries, but tensions are likely to bedevil what has long been a brittle relationship, scarred by mistrust on both sides. Many in Washington believe Pakistan is supporting the Taliban, making the Afghanistan war unwinnable....

Many are right. But of course the Afghan war is unwinnable anyway, because Washington doesn't want to win, and doesn't know what winning would look like.

The Islamization of NATO:-

"Turkey says Israel not welcome at NATO summit"


http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/23/us-turkey-israel-nato-idUSBRE83M0NF20120423


Americans have not understood the concept of "Muslim Umma" at all.They are so addicted to Saudi oil and import of Arms, nothing else matters.Every single attempt at mainland America has come Within America's borders like forthood,times square etc.Soon America will face single wahabi roaming the streets of America killing infidels according to them.NATO cannot clap because the Jihadies are killling Russians or Chinese or even Indians.The hatred these wahabies have for Israel,Democracy,India,nationalism is to be felt by Americans.

Drunks, addicts, egos and opportunistic diseases.

Turkey's opposition to Israel's association with NATO and attendance at the NATO meeting is premised upon the IDF interception of the Mari Mavi "aid" ship and the deaths of about 9 Turkish citizens during that event. Israel's policies are not without fault, but the interception of the Mavi Mari was indisputably correct according to international law. The killing of the activists onboard was regrettable and may or may not have been due to an overreaction, but shit happens during the course of armed conflict and the activists were armed and belligerent.

When is the Islamic world going to learn to that Israeel is not going to roll over and play dead faced with the continuing threats to its very right to exist made by the parties with whom it is supposed to negotiate a peace, e.g. Hamas, Hezbollah, and their principle sponsor, Iran. Moreover, despite the PLA's formal acceptance of Israel as a state, its insitence on an unlimited right of return is actually tantamount to a position adverse to the existence of Israel as a Jewish state, the first among several existing Islamic ones.

The intervention and deaths that occured during the Mari Mavi skirmish are not a valid reason to break relations or otherwise punish Israel. Turkey's insistence upon a formal apology is absurd. Turkey's treatment of the Kurds is a heck of lot more vulnerable to criticism than Israel's treatment of the Gazans.

With allies like this who needs enemies. After the billions we gave in aid, bribe is demanded for military movements even in getting war materiel out of the region.

"Nonetheless, the notion of payment for using what are known as the Pakistani GLOCs, for Ground Lines of Communication, has been difficult for the Pentagon to swallow, because access previously was considered free. But other U.S. officials have pointed out that the United States has given Pakistan billions over the past decade as compensation for its counterterrorism efforts. That money is expected to be discontinued as the new arrangements are put in place."

Hmmm ...

Nato:: Pakistan invited, Israel NOT invited.

Hmmm ...

NATO is nothing without American Green Dollars, supplemented regularly, and in greater abundance.

Where is our American veto on NATO members' "prohibitions"? ....to conferences on American soil?

The Paki's have ably proven their double dealing acumen to the disadvantage of us Americans....now these same Paki's want obscene bribes paid to them by us Americans.... to "re-open" their roads to American logistics needs? ....presumably fighting a "mutual" enemy? "Mutual" and "enemy" is apparently open to wide and excruciatingly subtle interpretation.

This American is really sick of paying out bales upon bales of United States Dollars to all sides in our entangling commitments in Central/West Asia.

I'm for cutting our growing losses immediately, paying emotional tribute to our to heroic dead and wounded, and preventing more of the same.

Whenever we leave, now or fifty years from now, the exact same situations will emerge, the same pleas of, "We're almost there!....don't leave us now...."

Stop this B.S. now.

no rep from Israel = no rep from Pakistan

No Pakistan period.
M

Pakistan has only created perceptions that it's about to open supply lines for NATO, just so that it can get invited to the NATO conference. But now that the invitation has been issued, Pakistan is once again stonewalling and haggling over things, to delay any re-opening of borders. So once again, Pakistan has managed to have its cake and eat it too.

The trouble with Islam is the teachings of Sharia Law, the Qur'an, the Hadith, and the iedology it spons.

I wish the entire world would read these books and see there teachings honestly and truthfuly.

Or at least read a couple of the Bill Warner books:

politicalislam.com

And informotive information the author has documented for us.

No one else may ever see this, but Obama has snubbed his Pakistani counterpart by refusing to meet with him while NATO permission to use Paki GLICs remains unresolved- the beginnng of the end to this relationship charade that has gone on way too long.
