Obama Calls Pakistan Leader About NATO Airstrikes

The strikes along the border with Afghanistan last weekend have further strained ties between the U.S. and Pakistan as the Obama administration tries to wind down the war in Afghanistan.

3. We won't apologize because we were responding to being fired upon, according to Joe Klein.
Pakistan plays both sides of the war & everybody knows it.

2. Where are all the people who were attacking the President regarding the lack of apology??? Let me
me guess he didn't do it fast enough for you. The Presidents detractors will always find something to complain about.
