This was a statement that I have been waiting for. I can totally relate to the frustration that this statement of Ms. Clinton so clearly shows. For last year or so, I have been saying that things can only get dire for Pakistan. Not better. Most Pakistanis have disagreed with me. Even today, on CNN, the Pakistani Ambassador showed that same bravado in an interview with Wolfe Blitzer. When I was listening to it, I couldn't help feeling the frustration even more. Can't this guy just get it? He kept talking of how big the Pakistani Army was and what the issues were in dealing with Taliban and how many different types of people they were dealing with and what help Pakistan had offered in the War on Terror. But he never got the point - Pakistan's Existence is in grave danger!"}
