Pakistan deserves US apology over NATO attack: Bilawal

US President Barack Obama should “show some courage” and apologise to Pakistan for a cross-border air strike by NATO forces in Afghanistan that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers last year, ruling PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said.

“I urge President Obama to show some courage. I understand he is running for re-election but if he is the same man who inspired the world with his message of hope and change, the future of the NATO mission in Afghanistan should be more important than poll numbers. Pakistan deserves an apology,” Bilawal said.

The 23-year-old nominal chief of the PPP also demanded that the US end drone strikes within Pakistani territory.

He made the remarks while addressing a gathering of party workers and supporters in New York on Monday night.

It's the American way, and the rest of the world can just go hang. There won't be any blowback, and if there is, well, there's plenty more missiles where that last one came from. Don't hate us for our freedom!
