In a unanimous vote, the Pakistani National Assembly has passed another resolution demanding the US immediately end US drone strikes against their country.
The resolution cites a UN General Assembly resolution calling on states to only use drones in accordance with international laws, praising the Sharif government for helping secure its passage.
Major public protests continue in northwestern Pakistan against the drone strikes, effectively blocking NATO supplies into and out of Afghanistan through the Khyber Pass.
While ignoring Pakistan’s repeated demands to end drone strikes, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, recently in Pakistan, demanding the government put an end to the demonstrations, warning the US could revoke $1.6 billion in annual aid if the protests continue.
Well what do the Pakistani's want?
To live a dignified life or be a lap-dog to the USA ?
Tell Chuck to stuff his aid its not worth the price you have to pay and remain subserviant to the USA
Not sure if I should laugh or cry about this latest resolution by silly Pakistani Law makers. I 'am sure they will allow the drones to continue for a price.
The USA is so evil it is doing things the evil characters do in movies. In a movie that is based on real life, Braveheart, when William Wallace, the Irish resistance leader, starts getting some people to work with him against the British imperialist conquerors, Britain then comes in and offers the Irish Lords a bunch of riches, and the traitors immediately turn back against William Wallace.
Zero difference between that and what the USA, the "ten-thousand pound gorilla zillionaire", is doing today, and has done since its inception, particularly since it took over being the world imperialist power from the hated British.
It is also worth mentioning that Cuba also provides aid to Pakistan: Cuba sends thousands of doctors there to help deal with humanitarian crises. However, Cuba, unlike the USA, does not hold the aid over Pakistan's head and threaten to revoke it unless the Pakistani protests against the USA's illegal bombings of Pakistan are crushed.
The Pakistani govt. is a corrupt bunch of hoodlums who will sell their own mothers for $$$'s. They have no sense of nationalistic pride and will always remain lap dogs.
is it the elected govt or the military or both. we know the military has been in US pockets as in egypt jordan turkey yemen saudi. formulaic policy of coercion and criminal ridicule of self-rule
Has the Pakistani National assembly also passed a resolution against Pakistanis conducting raids into Afghanistan?
