From: Neil H	1 Recommendation of 793872

A couple of points from Stratfor Pakistan: Pakistan was not happy with U.S. President Barack Obama’s speech. Reaction ranged from negative to extremely negative. The Pakistani position is that Obama threatened to intrude into Pakistan if Pakistan did not satisfy the United States with its commitment. The issue now is whether and how this affects Pakistan. The U.S. position appears to be that it is indifferent to what the Pakistanis think, but that isn’t possible. The United States needs collaboration and the Pakistanis know that. We need to be watching to see how Pakistan — both the government and various groups — responds. Iran: The U.S. administration has made it clear that it is going to give the Iranians until the end of the year before doing something. What they will do has been left unclear. The United States has been saying this for months, but it is now three weeks from the end of the year so we need to start figuring out what they are planning. Obama might simply hope it goes away, but the Israelis and Republicans won’t let that happen. Regards Neil
