Pakistan PM: U.S. attacks within borders unacceptable

[cal04]

Pakistan is an ally of the United States in its war on terrorism but cannot abide U.S. strikes on militants within its borders, a Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz said on Sunday.

"We do not allow any country to violate our sovereignty. We are committed to fighting terrorism but it has to be fought together," Aziz said on CNN's "Late Edition" program.

The U.S. military has used pilotless drone aircraft in places that are seen as hotbeds for anti-American activity like Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen to try to take out Islamic militants targeted in the U.S. war on terrorism.

But Aziz said Pakistan does not allow the drone attacks and that foreign strikes were unacceptable to a nation that has voiced its commitment for U.S. President George W. Bush's world-wide campaign.

3. Since when isn't Bush welcome to terrorize Pakistanis?

If Aziz doesn't want _Bush terrorizing his countrymen/women, why did he ever pretend to be on _Bush's side? He can't have it both ways!

If he doesn't want to be terrorized, then he'd better stand up and say it like a man, and take his punishment.

4. Well, that is one military action

I would have agreed with, getting out the ISI, who fund, provide safe haven, training, and weapons to terror networks all over the world. Pakistan should have been our focal point, always!
