With a partner like Pak, who needs enemies, asks US media

June 11, 2012 16:27

The fact that the American media is stepping up its anti-Pakistan campaign was made evident after a US newspaper posed a question, saying, "With a partner like Pakistan, who needs enemies?", to ''ridicule'' the country signifying intensification of an anti-Pakistan campaign in the American media, as Islamabad-Washington relations worsen.

In its commentary, The Kansas City Star said, "To speak of Pakistan as America's partner in the war against global terrorism is both an abuse of fact and an insult to the public''s intelligence", reports The Nation.

"The better description of that chaotic and incompetently governed nation is as a haven for Islamist radicals and a deliberate obstructer of the attempt by the U.S. and its coalition allies to establish a safe and civil society in neighbouring Afghanistan," it further said.
