Smoke and Mirrors

It's becoming increasingly more difficult being proud of what our country is doing with our so-called allies. Doctor Afridi, the Pakistani doctor who helped us find bin Laden, has been thrown under the bus and the driver rode over him and then threw it in reverse.  How can we in good conscience allow this brave man to spend what might amount to the rest of his life, in prison?  In fact, if Pakistan is calling him a traitor for helping us nail bin Laden, then where is Pakistan's real allegience? The answer is obvious--al Qaeda.

Congress has decided to get tough with Pakistan by disallowing $33 million to not go there as aid.  This is like fining a professional baseball player of high caliber a thousand dollars for throwing at a batter.  Pin money. A joke.

If instead, we told Pakistan that if they do not immediately free this man and allow him asylum in the USA, we will cut off all of their aid and give it to India. That would rattle their cage.  No idle threats; just action. Once they know that we would support India, their mortal enemy, they will collectively form the world's largest cesspool and give in to our demands. Otherwise, it's just like an Obama promise.

But the problem is Obama.  He has been instrumental in creating the image of the United States as a nation that will not stand behind its promises, a nation that throws its allies under the bus while embracing its enemies.  Who is this president really?
