Obama Admin Relying On Same Characters Used By Bush

"The US administration headed by Barack Obama is using the same old characters in the war on terrorism, who were used by former US president George W. Bush. The people of tribal areas have the expectations that the new administration will change the characters, but at the moment it seems that it has the same interests. Now this impression is gaining ground in Pakistan that there will be no change in the policies of former president Bush and new US President Barack Obama. Senator John Kerry has visited Peshawar and held meetings with NWFP Governor, who is the controlling authority of tribal areas. It is not yet clear what they have discussed in the meeting. Later, the US Senator has held a meeting with NWFP Chief Minister, who is the administrative head of the province.

"Earlier, President Obama has stated that no blank cheque will be given to Pakistani rulers, but the US Senator during his visit to Islamabad and Peshawar has given the blank cheque to the rulers of Pakistan. There is contradiction in the earlier statements of US officials and the present statement of the US Senator. Now the people of Pakistan want a real change in the US policy vis-a-vis Pakistan and tribal areas. Now there should be new people with whom the US officials should hold meetings. Now there must be moderate people, with whom the US can talk. The present rulers of Pakistan are incapable in running the affairs of Pakistan. Now the country is slipping into the hands of terrorists."

In other words, Bush opponents thought his administration was the worst.

Now those same people think that Obama shows good judgement in choosing the same people from that administration?

Well piss on me and tell me it is an April shower.
