Bush, two days after 911, gave Pakistan an ultimatum, either you're with us or against us.
Now after giving them billions, while we watch them burn our flag, there is indisputable, irrefutable proof they have been double dealing us all along and I'm not talking just about Bin Laden, who felt quite comfortable living 100 yards away from a Pakistani military base.

Pakistan's PM Warns US to End 'Negative Messaging' on Militancy September 27, 2011
Pakistani Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani is warning the United States it must end "negative messaging" by accusing Pakistan of supporting militant attacks in Afghanistan. He says such accusations will only strengthen anti-American feelings in his country.
In an interview with the Reuters news agency, Gilani said unilateral U.S. military action to hunt down Haqqani network militants inside Pakistan - similar to the raid that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in May - would be a violation of his country's sovereignty.
Gilani's statement came a day after the Pakistani military said it would not target the al-Qaida and Taliban-linked Haqqani network because it is already stretched too thin battling militants elsewhere in northwestern Pakistan.
Also Tuesday, hundreds of Pakistanis turned out for anti-American rallies across the country, and a suspected U.S. drone fired two missiles on a compound near Wana in the South Waziristan tribal region, killing at least three alleged militants.
On the final day of the U.N. General Assembly's annual session in New York Tuesday, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said few countries have been as brutally ravaged by terrorism as Pakistan. She told the gathering that 30,000 civilians, police and security forces have been killed since 2002. Khar said Islamabad is determined to eliminate terrorism from its soil, from the region and from the world, and she called for enhanced international cooperation to wipe it out.
Her remarks came as the White House urged the Pakistani government "to take action" to deal with the Haqqani network that Washington says conducts attacks against international forces from its base in Pakistan's lawless North Waziristan tribal region.
But in an online statement Tuesday, the Taliban said that it, not Pakistan, controls the Haqqani network. The group said there are no ties between the Haqqani network and Pakistan's spy agency, the ISI, and that Haqqani fighters do not seek refuge in Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal region, as Washington claims.
The Taliban statement also said attempts to link the Haqqani network's founder, Jalaluddin Haqqani, to the Pakistani government are designed to "give a bad name" to its prominent figures by tying them to foreign intelligence services.
He is warning us?
1. He's a lying son-of-of-bitch.
or
2. He's not aware of what certain facets of his government are involved in. I suspect the former.

Cell phones link Pakistan to U.S. embassy attack (Terrorist called Pakistani intelligence)
The insurgents who attacked the U.S. Embassy in Kabul last week were killed but their cell phones left a trail.
The phones had been used to call Pakistani intelligence operatives before and during the assault. Calls were made to the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) the Pakistani intelligence agency. This evidence lies behind the charge made by Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that the Haqqani network is a "veritable arm" of Pakistani intelligence, CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports.
The attack on the U.S. Embassy and NATO's Afghan headquarters resulted in a 22-hour firefight - with American troops pinned down on roof tops.
The Taliban responds:
No rag head is capable of telling the truth, its part of their religion. What would you expect them to say? America is right, we have ties with the Pakistani government?

Taliban Says Haqqani Network Has No Ties To Pakistan

| Jalaluddin Haqqani |
September 27, 2011
The insurgent group said in a statement issued today that it has no bases in Pakistan.
The English-language statement in the name of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan -- the Taliban's name for itself -- was posted on its Voice of Jihad website.
The Taliban also rejected U.S. charges that the Haqqani network, one of its key allies, has ties to Pakistan's intelligence service. The statement said Haqqani network founder Jalaluddin Haqqani is a key member of the Taliban leadership.
The top U.S. military officer, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, recently accused Pakistan's intelligence service of supporting the Haqqani network.
The United States has also blamed the Haqqani network over the September 13 attack on its embassy in Kabul, in which 14 people died.
On September 26, U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner called for action to be taken against militant safe havens.
"We are very clear in our position on this," Toner said. "We believe that these kind of safe havens are extremely troubling and, indeed, a matter of great concern and a dangerous development for both the United States and for Pakistan. So we want to see action taken against them."
Toner also said the United States is considering placing the Haqqani network on its list of terror groups.
Let Charles put it to rest. As usual he is dead on with his commentary.

On Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen’s testimony that the Haqqani network “acts as a veritable arm” of the ISI, which supported Haqqani’s June truck bombing of the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul and attack this month on the U.S. Embassy:
There’s sort of a complete shift in conceptual thinking here. We went into the war in Afghanistan with Pakistan as our ally against the terrorists — al-Qaeda and the Taliban. And under Musharraf — especially in the early years when we said to the Pakistanis, you either are going to be our ally (it was an ultimatum by the Bush Administration) or we’re going to bomb you back into the Stone Age — they were our allies.
Over the decade, those who were pro-American have been weakened within Pakistan. And now the paradox is that Afghanistan is our base for keeping an eye on and attacking our enemies in Pakistan, namely Haqqani and the other terrorists who are in the northwest frontier regions.
So, rather than thinking of Pakistan as an ally against Afghanistan, Afghanistan, for all of [its] instability and the hostility that America has to face there, is the base of operations from which we keep eye on the bad guys in the region. It’s an interesting and almost a paradoxical reason for continuing our presence in Afghanistan.

On how to pressure Pakistan:
Well, there’s one other step that we can do, and it would be a parallel to the Pakistanis ostentatiously asking the Chinese to make a visit. I would … [involve] the Indians. I think we ought to be sending a high-level delegation to India to discuss regional issues. That will scare the Pakistanis. That’s the one enemy they worry about above all. Showing the beginning of a new kind of alliance between America and India, I think would probably make the Pakistanis think twice about opposing us, and [pursuing] a tight alliance with China.
This just came in as I was about to post.
Pakistan frees Osama bin Laden bodyguard
One final thought.
Did al -Qaeda assassinate Benazir Bhutto or was it something even more disturbing?
