Sec. Clinton's trip tp Pakistan: "It did not go well"
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made an unannounced trip to Pakistan to meet with President Asif Ali Zardari and other senior officials on Friday, a move U.S. officials say was designed to gauge the state of the uneasy alliance between the two nations.

As the New York Times puts it: “It did not appear to go well.”

Press opportunities were few and far between during Clinton’s short trip to Islamabad, but when reporters did get a look at the interaction between Clinton and Zardari there was plenty of awkwardness and few smiles.

Well to put it mildly, I'm not surprised!!!

7. You sure? You're missing out!
This is The Onion, not FAKES News...

U.S. Condemned For Pre-Emptive Use Of Hillary Clinton Against Pakistan

It helps if we use The Onion's headline, rather than the OP's.
