Washington Times cartoon sets Pakistan on fire

IANS< MONDAY, MAY 09, 2005 03:36:30 PM >



ISLAMABAD: A cartoon in The Washington Times lampooning Pakistan's role in the US war on terror has turned into a rallying point for nationalist passions and hidden anti-American sentiments here.


The "offensive" cartoon (published May 6) shows a US soldier patting a dog (Pakistan) that holds Abu Faraj Al Libbi (a terrorist linked with Al Qaeda) and saying, "Good boy ... now let's go find bin Laden."

President George W Bush had described the arrest of Al Libbi - the third-ranking leader in Al Qaeda who was arrested in Pakistan this month - as "a critical victory in the war on terror".

A survey carried out by Online news agency revealed hurt national pride, with people cutting across the class divide vocally demanding that the government quit supporting the US in its war against terrorism.

snicker

Who are we to question the words and cartoons of God Himself, Father Moon?

What's the neoCONs gonna do about that?!?!?!

Whoops! The neoCONS offend the hell out of me, too!!!

or maybe not :-(

that doesn't agree with the Bushfuhrer. Ve vill haf no dissent.

The WT meant that as a compliment!

"You Pakis are a credit to your race. Nice doggies."

:puke:

as they got at Newsweek. And isn't it sad that people abroad are so much more knowledgeable about what's in our newspapers than Americans are? (Forget getting Americans to read the foreign press ... many aren't interested in anything deeper than Faux news.)

that bothers me about CSPAN is their quoting the WT more than any other newspaper. They always are reading to us from it. Of course, it is usually trash talk.

And the idiots won't have a clue why.
