New Delhi: On the day of her visit to India, Pakistan was asking US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to shut up. According to a report in The Tribune, the micro blogging site Twitter showed Shut up Clinton trending under Pakistan section.
The trends were a response to Clintons suspicions that al Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahiri was residing somewhere in Pakistan, the report said. Most of the tweets merely said shut up Clinton while few of them elaborated and defended Pakistan.
Some of the tweets as reported by The Tribune:
Salman Javed: Provide proofs of #WMDs in #Iraq, 9-11 and May-2nd, have courage to speak truth and if you dont hve then #ShutupClinton
Malika Khan: Pakistanis forget #ShutUpClinton. OUR priorities lie in getting this corrupt government out! Then we can think of US
The Sufi Soul: #ShutupClinton |
your war-machine NATO is being suffocated by us, and watching you panic is rather fascinating

You'll have to look it up for yourself though, I'm too busy to be more precise.

(3,894 posts)might be enraged about with regard to our military excursions into their country, totally exemplifies why they have every right to feel the way they do without it being any reflection in my opinion of their political persuasion. I don't care Red, Blue, Green, Purple, or Yellow, if Mexico or Canada took excursions into our country to chase down their bad guys and killed innocents here, we'd all be pissed. Then add the fact that we aren't even a legitimate country over there, but instead a form of imperialistic occupiers in some perspectives, liberal perspectives, and the comparison I offer even falls short of what they must be feeling.

(46,256 posts)Pakistan believes we are legitimate enough to accept our billions in aid.
I suppose this is just the "I'm more liberal than you game."

(3,894 posts)by your logic we should all just shut up because they own our debt? Which is awfully similar to giving aid, imo.

(25,586 posts)then I'm sure they'd happily return our billions in aid, yes?
Lionessa
(3,894 posts)Is there any such proof? Is there proof that the peoples are okay with the quid pro quo that is being given in return. . . I think this story indicates the answer is no.
