Pakistani President Asks For U.S. Drones For Anti-Terrorism (30 March 2009)
Pakistani President ASIF ALI ZARDARI has asked for pilotless drones (more likely he’s been told by the U.S. – great PR!). Reminiscent of “tell them it was a training exercise gone wrong” in Iron Man. “It’s not as easy as that” – cut to press conference: “It was a training exercise gone wrong.” – Good flip-flop scene.
Obama announces that Pakistan must be a “stronger partner” in destroying Al Qaeda’s safe haven.In return, Pakistan will get $1.5 billion each year for the next five years – which they need because they are facing economic meltdown and rising violence.
