Pakistan president will 'put David Cameron straight' over terror claims

The row over David Cameron's claim that Pakistan is exporting terrorism threatened to escalate tonight as a senior Pakistani official revealed President Asif Ali Zardari planned to "put him straight" when he meets the prime minister at a showdown summit at Chequers on Friday.

"David Cameron has been doing some plain talking. Now Zardari will be doing the plain talking," the official said. "We have to tell him (Cameron) what the reality is, to educate him about what we have suffered, and that if we are not supported at this time, how things will get worse."

The official said Zardari would press Cameron to be "more forthright in supporting democracy and more careful in what he says, especially in countries like India that are very hostile".

Cameron's comments, in which he accused Pakistan of looking "both ways" on home-grown terrorism, were made during a visit to India last week, where they were greeted approvingly. But the senior Pakistani official suggested the timing smacked of inexperience and showed how the prime minister had been "taken in" by the Indians. "Cameron was enamoured by so-called Indian democracy and attractive markets – he was suckered by the Indians."

1. hahahahahahaha

This is hilarious .... rather than own up to its terror apparatus, the ISI and the military, Pakistan is still trying to hoodwink the world saying "we have suffered" ... cry me a river ... the world has suffered far far more from Pakistani shenanigans and the egotistical global ambitions of an otherwise insignificant country.

6. Truth hurts

Pakistan has been exposed for what it is: a terrorism enabler.

Pakistanis are upset because they were exposed in India...who has been saying this for two decades now.

"Cameron was enamoured by so-called Indian democracy and attractive markets – he was suckered by the Indians."


LOL, jeez I wonder why. India has had it's fair share of ethnic violence, but Pakistan is much worst at contorlling it's own violence. Cameron's right, Pakistan doesn't want to control the terrorist groups in it's own country.
