After four years of Barack Obama's diplomatic 'leadership' and billions of dollars in attempted friendship aid, a new public opinion poll reveals that 92% of Pakistanis now disapprove of the United States.
The results could have been worse. Not much. But a little. Fully four Pakistanis out of 100 do approve of the United States, President Obama and his policies. They, however, seem to keep kind of quiet about their views in that rowdy land. That's the lowest favorable rating Pakistan's citizens have ever given their ostensible North American ally.
The new Gallup Poll, out this morning, reports that the recent high point of Pakistani approval of the United States came in the spring of 2011 when 27% approved. But then public opinion went south on North America.
Something to do with U.S. Air Force planes over Afghanistan one night confounding Pakistani radar into thinking its skies were perfectly empty when, in fact, a pack of stealth aircraft were advancing toward the city of Abbottabad carrying a Kevlar-coated posse of heavily-armed SEALs in night-vision goggles.

The 7/11 near me is staffed by Middle Eastern Christians (don't know what nationality).Very nice folks...all of whom wear a Crucifix chain on their neck.Their milk is really cheap too!
One the other hand...how many Americans “like” Pakistan? Enquiring minds want to know.
When Hillary and Obama’s State Department hosts a “gay pride” day at our Karachi embassy, I can understand some of the Pakistani disapproval.
I am not sure those surveyed had the opportunity to hear President Obama say the name of their country:
Pock is Stahn
He says it so artfully I am pretty sure that if they knew the effort he puts into not offending them and demonstrating his superior sense of muslim deference, they would not be so angry at us. /s
You're right.
The money goes from our corrupt elites to their corrupt elites. And it's OUR money - the working people of the United States - and our children's... Liberal elites have no right to give away our money to corrupt elites in other countries.
And for those brain dead liberals who think we're buying 'security' they need to wake up and smell the coffee. We're not getting that either. The Pakis hate us. I'm sure they've sold their nuclear technology etc to Iran - so even that excuse doesn't work. We got NOTHING for our billions. Nothing. Well, maybe some high level military Generals get some payback... or great retirement jobs... but that stinks of skim too.
My solution - stop the money that props up corrupt leaders AND stop paying for the powerful 'Dictator Protection Agency' AKA 'The UN' - and allow people of the world to sort it out...on their own. They will - and it will be better than the mess we have now...
What happened to the other 8%?
They’re just ticked because someone demolished OBL’s pad. They wanted to make a museum out of it and charge admission.
That’s probably an improvement over Paki sentiment before 2001, concealed by global business and government concerns.
God is mad at America, too. Most of the things he hates are now legal, like divorce, homosexuality, and the one thing he always emphasizes, child sacrifice. God also hates what Obama does...from Proverbs

I believe 92% of POHK-E-STAN lives in the US and works at our gas stations and convenience stores, sending all the profits back to fund terrorism.
I don’t know which did more damage the GD Trotskyite Red-pubs or the Maoist Dimrats since both have insisted on exporting crappy marxist/social democracy at the tip of the spear and then our traitorous State Dept allows all these new enemies and other 3rd worlders to migrate back to America.....this is not good.
A paid ally? The Pakistani ISI funds the Taliban, so in essence, we are paying those who are fighting against us.

They didn't mind us too much in the 70's when our foreign policy had a "Pakistani Tilt" re: Pak-Indian conflict. Back then India was a turd world socialist-leaning "nonaligned" sh*t hole.
