The Pakistan government said yesterday that if the United States carries out any more “unauthorized” raids within its borders, it will have to review the relationship with Washington. Earlier Thursday, Pakistan’s Pakistan Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir warned America Thursday of “disastrous consequences” if it carries out any more raids and hit back at international allegations it may have been harboring …

“I am going to miss my son every day of my life but this, the death of Osama bin Laden, seems to be perfect closure for the foul and evil deeds that that man has committed.

According to the New York Daily News, Dubya declined to join President Obama at Ground Zero today because he feels he didn’t get enough credit for taking down Osama Bin Laden.

As anti-America protests go, this one doesn’t seem that bad. But it’s still very early.
