Pakistan has ordered the United States to move out of an airbase on its territory, after shutting down NATO's two main overland supply routes into Afghanistan. Popular anger is mounting in Pakistan after NATO's killing of 24 Pakistani military personnel in a cross-border airstrike Saturday.

We are too dumb to leave on our own and it is good that countries are giving us the boot.

It was only a matter of time... not just because of China's growing influence in Pakistan as an ally, but for pathetic political moves by US government going back at least four decades.

Good, maybe we can quit spending 2 billion a week on a war we don't need to fight anymore.

The only reason Pakistan is tolerated to play both sides of the war on terrorism, and the only reason the country is still there, is their nuclear weapons.

And we wonder why Iran wants one.

Can't do that. Then the radicals would take over the country, it'd be Afghanistan amplified, with nukes.

So our choices are limited. The Pakistani government puts on this dog and pony show with America. "Bad Americans" and we say "Bad Pakistanis"

And within a month it'll be right back to the way it was.

They knew about this raid, just like they knew about the Bin Laden raid.
