Analysis: Pakistan's double-game: treachery or strategy?

Wed, 28 Sep 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Reuters - Sep. 28 (News Analysis) - "Turns out they are disloyal, deceptive and a danger to the United States," fumed Republican Representative Ted Poe last week. "We pay them to hate us. Now we pay them to bomb us. Let's not pay them at all." For many in America, Islamabad has been nothing short of perfidious since joining a strategic alliance with Washington 10 years ago: selectively cooperating in the war on extremist violence and taking billions of dollars in aid to do the job, while all the time sheltering and supporting Islamist militant groups that fight NATO troops in Afghanistan. Pakistan has angrily denied the charges, but if its critics are right, what could the explanation be for such duplicity? What strategic agendas might be hidden behind this puzzling statecraft?

No big budget deal? Blame Obama, not Boehner

Sun, 10 Jul 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Reuters - By James Pethokoukis - Jul. 10 (News Analysis) - President Barack Obama could have done two things that might have saved his Mother of All Budget Deals. First, he could have embraced market-centered, consumer -focused reforms to Medicare. That was about as likely as him accepting an Obamacare rollback. Second, he could have agreed — as House Speaker John Boehner and Republicans suggested — to sharply reduce tax rates in return for fewer special tax deductions/breaks/loopholes/subsidies. Recall that is what his own debt commission recommended.

Like Reagan at Reykjavik, Boehner passes on a bad deal

Sun, 10 Jul 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Reuters - By James Pethokoukis - Jul. 10 (News Analysis) - Indeed, as negotiations wore on, Obama got tougher on taxes (pushed hard by the hard left), and the deal he was cooking up almost certainly wouldn’t have been revenue neutral as he tweaked rates and reduced tax deductions.
