Fresh off of Pakistan announcement of a “confidence-building measure” of promising to issue three dozen additional visas to CIA spies, the Obama Administration is once again demanding Pakistan make serious changes to its policy.
This time it is Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issuing the warning, saying that the administration is “not prepared to continue providing” military aid at the level of $3 billino annually without the concessions from the Zardari government.
Though this is an unsurprising announcement – indeed in the wake of the Osama bin Laden raid a number of Congressmen are demanding a full halt to aid, it comes without any indications from Secretary Clinton as to what those concessions are supposed to be.
In all likelihood, among the demands would be a Pakistani military invasion of the North Waziristan Agency. Though Pakistan’s government has repeatedly said they will do so on their own terms, the US has repeatedly demanded an immediate invasion and lashed the Pakistani government for refusing to attack the region.
American policy is to derail civilian govt. as they get more from military dictators although Zardari is most obedient servant of america,
I don,t know what for we need military aid as there is no chance of winning the wars.
We need this military aid just to kill Afghans and pakistanis in FATA and continuous headach for pakistan as the Pakhtuns never forget and take revenge.
We must not forget that India will use every oppertunity to harm pakistan with the support of america.
And it would be the best thing that could ever happen to Pakistan.
Let our military estalishment clean their house soonest.
If the organizations such as AlQaida wasestablished in Peshawar, Pakistan, can we ask the rulers what about sovereignity of Pakistan. Should we continue allowing such organizations in Pakistan?
We will give you aid to fight who we tell you to.
This aid Pakistan can well do without..
If America dares to cut off aid I am sure China and Iran will be glad to provide same WITH LESS STRINGS ATTACHED.
