PARTLY FACETIOUS: Clinton was interested in well-being of Americans

"Hillary Clinton thanked the President for his handling of the protests."
"Now don't get sarcastic here."
"I am not kidding, the lady did thank the President but of course she was only interested in the well-being of Americans and not Pakistanis."
"Ah, I see."
"Anyway, two US University professors - one from Stanford and the other from New York University, undertook a study which led them to conclude that the drone strikes are a bad idea and do nothing to further the US cause and should be abandoned."
"I would like to quote from an article by Clive Stafford Smith, the director of Reprieve, who wrote: I hope that this report reminds us all what the US - with British support - is doing to the people of Pakistan. Maybe then there will be less surprise at the hatred the drone war is engendering in the Islamic world - and a chance that we will reconsider what we are doing."
"President Zardari in his UN speech also opposed drone strikes."
"Didn't WikiLeaks indicate that our civilian and military leadership have actually given the go-ahead for the drone strikes and are opposed to it only rhetorically?"
"They may have changed their minds since then."
"But if they had wouldn't they have begun to destroy the drones, I mean we do have that capacity according to our air force."
"OK, but the President said in the UN..."
"There must be one lesson learned from his speech."
"What? That the West is unlikely to be swayed by his speech and change their century old laws."
"No."
"That the UN is not the right forum to call for an end to drones and do more mantra. Bilateral talks maybe a more effective way."
"No. The only country where President Zardari's speech was reported was Pakistan. My suggestion is not to deliver a speech at the same forum on the same day as President Obama."
"Now you are being unfair. Hindsight is fifty fifty."
"I thought it was twenty twenty."
"Where our politicians are concerned it's a tad higher."
"Don't be facetious."
