President Obama promised to restore the international image of the United States, but the recent NATO airstrike that killed Pakistani soldiers comes as a historic setback, at least in Pakistan, to judge from remarks made by Army Gen. Martin. E. Dempsey to reporters today.
Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that the average Pakistani’s respect for the United States is lower than ever. “[The average Pakistani who] doesn’t know the United States, doesn’t read about the United States or just watches something on television about the United States, at that level, [the relations] are probably the worst they’ve ever been,” he explained, according to the American Forces Press Service.
He added that the relationship between the U.S. government and Pakistan’s government is “on about as rocky a road as I’ve seen.”

After 9/11, Pakistan should have been shared sh*tless of the U.S. Instead Bush coddled Musharraf, and allowed him to keep his nukes, and asked permission to send troops in. Big mistake.
Quit shooting at NATO helicopters and things like that won’t happen.
General, those pakis aren't paying your salary and I don't give a crap what they think ...
xtreme sarc/
The same Pakis that were harboring public enemy number one? Oh ya... be upset.
pakistan is really screwed-up-is-stan.
The only relationship we should be having with Pakistan is waiting for the radiation levels to return to safe levels so Hilton and Hyatt can move in and build some decent golf courses.
Don’t forget the billions (10 + billion and counting) Bush sent to Pakistan. It continues today with the current zero in office.
“....the average Pakistani’s respect for the United States is lower than ever.”
.
Worried sh*tless.
I hope that the ones who are here will all leave because they’re pissed.
“Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that the average Pakistani’s respect for the United States is lower than ever.”
Screw Dempsey,,things are utterly backward if we are worrying whether they “like us”. We should be working every day to create a world where THEY worry whether We like them. Until we get to that point, we will make every wrong move possible.
Sad to see such a wuss as chairman of the joint chiefs.
As if I give a frog's fat ass, what those Turd World pukes think.
Wanna know something? I got a pretty p!ss poor imagine of Pakistan. I always have. The filthy place is an Islamic pest-hole swarming with Saracen bastards who aren’t worth the dirt they’re standing on.
Obama: “Chairman Hu, sir, I’ve done as you asked.”
On the other hand, my respect for the average Pakistani ranges between zero and zilch. These people will never like us and I am not even sure I want them to.
As for Afghanistan, we should have been out of there years ago. Let them go to hell in their own way.
Who cares what a terror-state thinks? What should happen is a systematic dismantling of the Pakistani nukes and leaving the regional wolves (India and China) take care of the rest of Pakistan.
the Paks took pot shots at an AC-130 and paid the price
damn primitives, what they hell do they expect ?
We need to just declare a 50 mile free fire zone and tell the Pak Army not to bother even being in there .
Screw the corrupt little border posts skimming under the table profits from dope runners ....
India has prior claim on that real estate, and honestly, it’s pretty lousy land for putting in golf courses. Maybe ski resorts?
Bah. What % of their Army is sympathetic to terrorists? What % are outright in bed with them?
