Amid strained relations between Washington and Islamabad over NATO strike on Pakistani posts, adopting a tough stance against Pakistan, a top Republican senator has charged its intelligence agency with continuing to support the Haqqani network and other terrorist groups, US media reported on Tuesday.
“Pakistan’s intelligence agency continues to support the Haqqani Network and other terrorist groups that are killing US and Afghan forces in Afghanistan, and the vast majority of the material used to make improvised explosive devices originates from two fertiliser factories in Pakistan,” Senator John McCain told a US news channel.
The Republican presidential candidate in 2008 election, McCain said all Americans were deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Pakistani soldiers in cross-border air attack.
“I fully support NATO’s commitment to investigate this tragedy thoroughly and immediately. It’s important to note that certain factors in Pakistan continue to complicate significantly the ability of coalition and Afghan forces to succeed in Afghanistan,” he said.
In an interview to Fox Business, McCain noted that Pakistan has every reason to be angry at the killing of its troops, but argued that such things do happen in war.
At the same time, the senator stressed that the US too was angry with Pakistan on a number of issues.
“I think they should be angry whenever something like that happens and it’s a tragedy and we have expressed our condolences and the military commander there, and our ambassador and everybody and we here regret it enormously,” he added.
“But the fact is, we are in a war, these things happen in wars, as tragic as it is. We also have many reasons to be very unhappy with what the Pakistanis have been doing, including the ISI, their intelligence group, supporting the Haqqani network which is killing Americans,” McCain said.

  5. Go F*&K yourself senator! We'll get your 24 soldiers soon too. Then you can cry and weep and we will make fake "excuses" like your sorry ass excuses. Pak needs to throw a missile on an american base in afghanistan and then say – oooops – sorry, it lost the coordinates!! It was just a training drill gone wrong but "investigation" will be carried out! Stupid white trash moron.

  6. He needs to get his arms shorten further (though he cant raise them anyway ) along with his toung.;)))

  11. They will come up with a theory that terrorists were hiding with the army just like OBL in Abbotabad hence the strike. They will even produce the proof in the form of satellite photographs and phone call details.

    Or by “War on terror” they mean “War on Pakistan”.

  12. Dear Brothers,
    This guy is trying to threaten us. This incident was preplanned and they want to give us warning regarding what we are doing.

    One thing sure. Americans are not our friends. When they get any chance, they will hit us by any means. We are still having upper hand over them. If we planned accordingly, this US/Nato is a easy pray for us. We need to fight against then , inshallah Allah will help us. We shouldnt be coward and dont underestimate our strength.
    We are giving training to our Army soldiers in the name of Allah. Its highly hypocrisy to fear against the Kuffars.
    Army should realize the things.

  13. dost tum jiskey huway…….dushman uss ka aasman kyoun ho!

    Mcdonalds and Mcains are just the same for our young generation…boot both

  14. The nation wants Pervaiz Musharraf to explain his statement that if Pakistan had not allowed bases to America India was ready to provide it's bases to US forces at the start of Afghan war in 2001. Can P. Musharraf explain how planes flying from Indian bases would have reached Afghanistan without overflying Pakistan? Why Musharraf is giving such excuses which does not hold water. The fact is surrender of Pakistan was orchestrated by this timid person without even blink of an eye.

    • I agreed on this comments. Musharraf is the good puppet of America. Its well know fact. He served our army to America.
      Actually this war is not belongs to us. In the name of war, We are killing our own people in PAKISTAN and supporting war on Afganistan once, it was our best friend. Its a complete betrayal. We should stand firm against this americans. Its our responsibility to remove america from this place, because we allowed them.

  15. musharraf is gaaaandu..and he is a racist he wanted to divide pashtuns from pakistan wth the agenda that they are terrorists.killing them brutaly..

  16. We believe that ISI is the only our department who looks the interest of our country.If we say that America should close the offices of C.I.A,will they do that Never.so why we are pressurized to close the door of I.S.I why we are not the servants of America as they are thinking is totally baseless and inhuman attitude.Rather we will die but not close our honorable department.pakistan has testified several times,but America did not favor Pakistan, rather than they took thier interests and safeguarded them,in the circumstances any honorable nation cann`t live independently.
