[Stinky The Clown]

Yeah, why would they threaten a country that armed the Taliban, and helped the Taliban rise to power?
A country that hired Al Qaeda operatives to fight in Kashmir and whose intelligence chief

A country who as we speak is giving refuge to Al Qaeda and Bin Laden.

Yeah Mr. President I'm shocked the General would say such a thing. After all, like you say they

The whole Pakistan hypocrisy stinks to high heaven.
