Pakistan accused Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama of "sheer ignorance" for threatening to launch US military strikes against Al-Qaeda on Pakistani soil.

Obama warned Wednesday that if he is elected president, he would order US forces to hit extremist targets on Pakistan's frontier with Afghanistan if embattled military ruler President Pervez Musharraf failed to act.
"Such statements are being made out of sheer ignorance," Pakistan's Minister of State for Information, Tariq Azeem, told AFP. "They are not fully apprised about the ground realities and not aware of the efforts by Pakistan."
Islamabad has bristled against a string of similar threats in recent weeks

Two words: empty suit (empty dress in Edward’s case)
He is an Obamanation.
Obama should’ve stuck to making up meaningless platitudes rather than venturing into making up foreign policy.
How many more allies of ours can Obama insult?
So far on my list I have
Australia
Pakistan (not that it is really an ally.. but I’ll pretend they are like everyone else)
Who else?
I’m sure the UK and Poland , but that’s just a guess.
ROTFLOL! I think that's the quote of the day!
For real....
I was needing to turn left this morning but I was in the wrong lane. I sped up and got in front of the car beside me and made it into the lane to turn.
Judging from that, I think I am going to go straight to NASCAR and be a driver.
(rolling eyes)
One thing Bush has done is open dialog with Pakistan a difficult thing to do, and put a stop to the proliferation of nuclear technology from Pakistan to other axis of evil members, while Clinton sat oblivious to it all, too busy getting hummers in the oval office, propping up dictators like Kim dong2 and Aristide, and bombing the wrong side in the Balkans.
Another Clinton or Obama would be disaster not only to America, but the entire world.
Pakistan accused Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama of “sheer ignorance”
Its not an accusation, its a statement of fact
Obama’s an idiot. The MSM made him, and, if he doesn’t self-implode, the MSM will destroy him to make Hillary look better.
But, but the whole world MUST LOVE us. That’s the left’s requirement, right. I guess Osamabama is out.
le
fts
That's the plan, and it's already begun. Had this been the beast, it wouldn't be in the news.
Looks like Obama failed the John Kerry global test.
Obama made a very ignorant statement.
I’m confused. Haven’t we freepers been calling for much the same thing? Is it now a bad idea because of the (D) after the guy’s name?
OH-Bomb-A-Nation?
Edwards is a pussy and so is Obama. End of story.
I never thought I would agree with Pakistan on anything.......
Re: Obama should’ve stuck to making up meaningless platitudes rather than venturing into making up foreign policy.
Truer words could not be said.
This makes Hillary look like a genius...Obama’s name getting used in propaganda (true or not) and he hadn’t even met the morons yet.
ROTF!
And this guy has the chutzpah to criticize President Bush on foreign policy?
Who the hell is it that has allowed Islamic Cultsists like OBL, to remain alive in their back yard? And who in Paks intell ranks protects those headchoppers who have spent decades roaming the globe blowing up innocents with impunity?
Not Obama, he’s just a kid.
Pak has no room to talk about ignorance, since theirs is willful.
If we ever get a Republican US President who is a ruthless SOB, Pak had better be prepared to play hardball, after 6 years of giving them plenty of time to clean up their neighborhood.
Since September 2001, we have given Pakistan 10 billion dollars. I think it is time that we called in our chips and ask for Musharraf to make some significant changes. For starters, he should decide if he wants to be the president of Pakistan, or the nation’s general.
So this makes Obama a sunni, seems like?
‘He is an Obamanation.”
LOL Good one! First time I’ve heard that. You should copyright it.
Obama’s campaign is over.
It is down to the two shysters: the Pant Suit Stalinist/Mega-Crook and Silky Pony.
You mean the *utch and the *ag?
It is going to be Hitlery.
Freepers are not running for potus or aware of any classified parts of the pakistan situation.
I’ve expected a Hillary/Obama ticket all along.
We will see.
Pakistan is a US ally.(Just don’t let their “people” find out)
Shameful isn’t it? Obama wants to hold hands and talk to our enemies and bomb our allies. Typical liberal.
AMEN
Maybe Clinton II can find a christian country to bomb so they get along better with muslims.
