Osama Bin Laden dead: Pakistanis burn US flags as backlash grows | Mail Online


Except, they can't even make the flag correct. The number of stripes is wrong and the field of stars is wrong too. I'm not sure who's selling these guys their homemade 'American' flags but they need to do their research better. Pathetic.

The face of our "allies". Perhaps we should choose our allies more carefully.

I suspect if they did not have nukes they would not be kept close nor given $$.

I'm sure stuff like this won't help;

News from The Associated Press (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_BIN_LADEN?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT &CTIME=2011-05-05-09-23-57 - broken link)

Pakistan leadership in a tough spot. They can't let the anger get out of hand.

ISLAMABAD – Pakistan's army on Thursday called for cuts in the number of U.S. military personnel inside the country to protest the American commando raid that killed Osama bin Laden, and threatened to cut cooperation with Washington if it stages more unilateral raids on its territory.

So a few didn't, and this proves what?

Nothing.

Imagine the backlash if we'd desecrated the body.

Seems al-Qaeda had little concern over desecrating the bodies of those aboard the hijacked planes or in the Pentagon and WTC on 9/11. Get real, these 7th century Islam fanatics go nuts over cartooned Mohammod. How far should we dhimmify ourselves?

Blah blah...

All this pic and this thread show is that OBL had some fans left in Pakistan.

Nothing else.

The rest of your post is just emotional appeal nonsense.

I'm not.

I'm also not surprised that the usual right wing propagandists are trying to make political hay out of it.
