Secret Cables Show Deep U.S.-Pakistan Clashes Over Strategy

I surely hope the people of the world don't judge the USA by the comments of our politicians! That would be like passing judgement on the world's Islamic people based on a few radical terrorists. Keep a level head and know that most people wish nothing but peace and good to their fellow humans.

I'm a Republican and it saddens me to see what the new Republican Congress has already started to do. Thhey had 8 years before Obama and they fought tooth and nail to accomplish nothing. What is their reason for avoiding term limits? It's what the American people want. I actually thought that the Congress represented the wishes of the American people. They had 8 years to come up with a Health Insurance program, they did nothing. Only now that there is a Democrat that has done something are they up in arms. Even so, they still don't have anything. All they want top do is abolish the Democratic plan. The Democratic plan may not be perfect, but at least it's a start. The only Republican plan is destroy the Democratic plan rather as opposed to working to make it better. Only because it makes the Republicans look bad. Thats OK, because the American people are back in charge and there's another election in 2 more years. Our new house leader had better start earning his pay with the understanding that he works for us. The other thing we need to address is how much money the congressmen and senators have in their holdings prior to becoming a member of the house v. how much they have after serving each term in congress. If the Retirees and the civil servants get no pay raise the congress gets none either

As an old Military Intelligence Agent, the leaking of the Classified information contained in the WikiLeaks documents is an obvious violation of National Security. Remember the Rosenbergs,they too were in violation of releasing classified information. The only difference is that we had a President at that time that had the guts to take action. In addition, the media, should be more discrete when reporting the contents of the leaks as they are only adding fuel to the fire. But then again that is the way the media works in this country. As for the military clown that is being held in military jail, this is too big for a low grade MI Agent to have concocted. He was only a pawn in a much bigger assembly. The documents, obtained by WikiLeaks and released to

the pakistan government has to walk a tightrope between its people their religion and not appering to back the west too much.they have a lot of lawless regions in northern pakistan and even their government doesnt control those regions.as for right now the military still controls their nuclear weapons they have a lot of extremist that would love to get their hands on those weapons this is a very unstable region of the world so we have to tread very lightly.and thats why we have not gotten osama bin laden.would be better if we formed a coalition of forces,between pakistan,india,and other nations to go in and route out these extremist,s and soilders of fortune and clean them out once and for all.but we have to show how all these extremist,s are dangerous to all the countries in this region.

Dissolve our Government? YES! But only Congress. You will need some sort of leader, however. Clean up Congress which will require a whole new set of rules. I guess that this new Leader will have to be chosen in accord to what his platform will be and of course his past actual Track Record. Harry Truman's life is a good example, George Washington also. Both declined to take from his government for his own gain, even as ex-President. Ramon Magsaysay (Philipines)would be a good example as well. Give this man or woman 4 years and then have a popular vote of confidence against several like candidates and go another four years. This would be a start and a helluva' lot better than what we have now. Absolutely no self-enrichment and a respecter of Church/State Separation would have to be primary qualifications. Keep your appointed Cabinent heads and fire those who lacked real Ethics and Morals. Steadily clean up Washington. No off shore banking accounts allowed and no self-enrichment for them as well.

Although the friendship of US and Pakistan dates back to 1956 when we supported the first dictator and subsequently all of them later. We never supported a democratic government there ever in the past. Even after Pervez Musharraf we tried our best to get Army back in but ever so reluctantly because the changed ground realities. Over 90% of Pakistanies hate us as terror has engulfed Pakistan since the war on terror began. Pakistanies will not allow a dictatorship anytime soon. They have come to tolerate the present government however corrupy or ineffecient it may be. Pakistanies will move forward with democratic governments from now on. But our tie with the military thru Pentagon will remain strong serving our national interests adequately for a reasonable fee, of course.
