The truth hurts.
From Fox News.
Pakistani officials are not happy with how the Showtime TV Series “Homeland” portrays the country.
Pakistani diplomats reportedly watched all 12 episodes of season four, which is set in Islamabad showing Claire Danes’ new role in the Central Intelligence Agency after a tumultuous three previous seasons.
Officials reportedly complained to the producers of the Emmy-winning hit series.
“Maligning a country that has been a close partner and ally of the US . . . is a disservice not only to the security interests of the US but also to the people of the US,” Pakistan Embassy spokesman Nadeem Hotiana told The New York Post.
……officials were upset with how the show shows Pakistani government protecting terrorists.
“Repeated insinuations that an intelligence agency of Pakistan is complicit in protecting the terrorists at the expense of innocent Pakistani civilians is not only absurd but also an insult to the ultimate sacrifices of the thousands of Pakistani security personnel in the war against terrorism,” a source told the paper.
Here’s Pakistan’s contributions to the war on Islamic terrorism:
In 2001, after a narrow escape from getting his ass blown to smithereens at Tora Bora, Osama Bin Laden hightailed it across the border into Pakistan where he stayed until the SEALs got his goat-smelling ass.
Everyone knew he was in Pakistan, we just didn’t know where. But the Paki government did, and it out and out refused to let anyone come after him.
In 2003, Khalid Sheik Mohammad, Bin Laden’s principal architect for planning and carrying out the 9/11 attacks as well as hundreds of other terrorist acts, was captured in Rawalpindi Pakistan.
Pakistan is not an ally; it has never been cooperative in the war against Islamic terrorists. Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari admitted as much.
The Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) has Taliban moles on its payroll, and cells run back across the Afghan border after re-grouping, thanks to the Pakistan regime. Any resurgence of the Taliban in Afghanistan can be directly attributed to terrorist groups operating carte blanche in Pakistan; abetted by a large portion of the Pakistani government, Army, and ISI.
Not only is Pakistan complicit in protecting the terrorists, it’s one of the Taliban’s closest partners.
