Innovations in diplomacy: Pakistan finds yet another way to screw up with the U.S.

Just when you think Pakistan couldn't
make a stupider move, it does. Dissing Obama in his hometown was a dumbass
play. Oddly, no American president probably had more initial sympathy for
Pakistan, which Obama visited as a student. (He had Pakistani roommates at
college, he said, and learned
to cook Pakistani dishes from them.) Yet it looks like the Pakistani
government has managed to piss him off.

Yesterday he pointedly
left Pakistan out of the countries he
thanked for help in Afghanistan: "I want to welcome the presence of
President Karzai, as well as officials from central Asia and Russia -- nations
that have an important perspective and that continue to provide critical
transit for ISAF supplies."
