Washington, June 11 (ANI): The fact that the American media is stepping up its anti-Pakistan campaign was made evident after a U.S. 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.
Talking about Dr Shakil Afridi, the writer C.W. Gusewelle, said: "No surer proof of that can be found than the recent fate of the Pakistani doctor who helped the U.S. discover the location of Osama Bin Laden's hideaway, enabling Navy SEALs to end the life of the world's most notorious terrorist leader."
A commentary in The Santa Maria Times, said, "There's that old adage about keeping your friends close and your enemies closer. It's difficult to gauge where Pakistan fits in that equation, but it seems certain that the beneficiaries of so much U.S. military aid don't always have our best interests at heart when it comes to the systematic dismantling of Al-Qaeda's leadership.
