The day before the Fourth of July, the Obama Administration saw fit to apologize to Pakistan. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton apologized for the November 2011 NATO airstrike which resulted in the deaths of 24 Pakistani soldiers. In return, Pakistan agreed to reopen NATO supply lines to Afghanistan that had been closed following the incident.
So does this mean the U.S. no longer believes that Pakistan fired upon Afghan troops? What does Afghanistan think of the U.S. apology? I can’t imagine they would be too happy about it.
One more question. When is Pakistan going to get around to apologizing to the United States for harboring Osama bin Laden?

BG, you're being far too kind IMHO!!!!!!!

Olde,
I tried to keep it succinct. I could write a 400 page book on the many ways I loathe this man. And with plenty of "colorful" language.

We apologized? To Pakistan? Oh, that's great!! When's Pakistan going to apologize for shooting at us first, and starting the whole damn incident? Or for pretending they didn't know that Osama Bin Laden was living just down the street from their version, albeit their very crappy version of West Point for almost a decade? Yeah, don't hold your breath!! Sometimes in War, you have to make deals with the Devil, but during this War, our Allies look and act the same as are enemies, I say level the whole damn place, declare victory, pull stakes, and never look back!! Fuck em", fuck em' all!!

I understand your reaction. I had the same feelings when Sarkozy gave a warm welcome with full military honors to Gheddafi in 2007 or apologized to various dictators for our colonial past. Try to rationalize it as: just a muslim apologizing to other muslims. America is not involved in this.
