No Change in Pakistan

Another misleading headline! Great.

"New government in Pakistan hints at changes to US "

"by Laura King, Los Angeles Times | April 1, 2008

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - .... Analysts and officials said that despite a universal desire to put the United States on notice that the center of gravity has shifted from Musharraf, many basic elements of the American-Pakistani relationship will remain in place, even in security matters....

Despite the anger directed at Washington, there still are many areas in which the new government probably will work with the United States, including counterterrorism.

Makes you wonder if we aren't looking at another rigged election, don't it?

Closer civilian oversight of Pakistan's shadowy intelligence services is one expected change under the new administration, said a senior figure in the ruling coalition, speaking on condition of anonymity.

In the past, Pakistan's intelligence services helped nurture the Taliban and other militant groups, seeing them as a means of challenging India over Kashmir and keeping Afghanistan quiescent.

Yeah, but that is ALL IN THE PAST!!

Yup, the ISI creating and helping the Taliban and "Al-CIA-Duh" is ALL A THING OF THE PAST!!!

Uh-huh!!!!

See what I mean about lying and obfuscating newspapers, readers?

Even while promising changes in government strategy for dealing with the militants, Gillani stressed in his policy address that Pakistan and the Americans wanted many of the same things.

"It is our fight, too," he said."

Translation: NOTHING is CHANGING; the U.S. STOOGES are in place and many more innocent people are going to be killed!!!!
