Share

Despite being declared persona non grata by Government of Pakistan, a Danish journalist is still managing to stay in the Federal Capital as some powerful officials in law enforcement department coupled with some covert elements are facilitating extension in her stay.

Clinton in damage control after massive Pakistani backlash

Share

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a classic “Good Cop, Bad Cop” routine has now retreated into a more normal and composed self. She had lost her composure and seems to have regained her balance and equanimity.

Her crass comments about “consequences for Pakistan” did not make here any friends in Pakistan. In fact, she peeved off the very people who have been supporting her. The PPPP government has often come under fire for being too compliant and obsequious, especially in the case of the drones.
