KARACHI — Hundreds of enraged Pakistanis took to the streets across the country Sunday, burning an effigy of President Barack Obama and setting fire to US flags after 24 soldiers died in NATO air strikes.

The rallies were organised by opposition and right-wing Islamist groups in major cities of the nuclear-armed country of 167 million people, where opposition to the government's US alliance is rampant.

In Karachi, the port city used by the United States to ship supplies to troops fighting in Afghanistan, more than 700 people gathered outside the US consulate, an AFP photographer said.

They shouted: "down with America, stay away Americans, Pakistan is ours, we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our army", while Pakistani riot police were deployed near the consulate.

Outside the press club in Karachi, dozens of political activists burnt an effigy of President Obama, an AFP photographer added.

We are paying for "assistance” and transit rights from Pakistan and we are also bankrolling Taliban and Al Qaeda and ISI terrorism. We are fighting ourselves and unwilling to face reality that we are going to lose unless Pakistan is dealt with.

I’m afraid to go to the 7-Eleven now.

I meant that in a semi-humorous way. This is a very serious incident and I’m certain Obama is not up to handling it.

P.S. Did I hear this morning that the Afghanis were the ones who ordered the NATO strike?

Unlike the Cowboy Bush, Obama has the world loving us again. Praise the Lord.

Where was all the global love that America was supposed to receive with the crowning of President Obama?

More Obama jive from the left wing media cheering section - now gone very stale.

I think the world liked Bush better. At least the Muslim world did? Ha-ha. How ironic?
