A poll released Sunday revealed that despite the massive amounts of aid directed toward Pakistan in this administration, Pakistanis peg the U.S. as a far greater threat than the Taliban and even archenemy India.

The poll of more than 2,500 Pakistanis, conducted across rural and urban areas at the end of July by Gallup Pakistan for Al-Jazeera, found that 41 percent favored their government's military operation against the Taliban, while 22 percent claimed neutrality and 24 percent opposed.

DON’T STOP THERE!!

My fiance’s co-worker, from Pakistan, despises everything American. He routinely espouses his his displeasure with American policy & the American people. I’m shocked that this report doesn’t say: “All Pakistani’s Hate America!”

Bump for the Truth!

If there's anything I hate it's foreigners who live here and bad mouth the place.
Like the people who come to America for all we have to offer, then fly the flag of their native country on their cars.
If your country is so great, WHY ARE YOU HERE???

I'd say they are right down the middle.... more objective and truthful than the NYT, not quite as truthful and fair as the National Enquirer. And YES, I'd trust NE over the NYT.
