US House panel OKs defence bill, limits Pakistan aid

[Solomon2]

Obama was the most "anti-Pakistani" presidential candidate during the 2008 campaign, the only one who vowed that he would be willing to violate Pakistani sovereignty to nab OBL. Yes, Bush the honest warrior could be trusted. But Obama the deceitful lawyer is much closer to Pakistani-type thinking, save that (like me) he grew up with Muslims and thus expects better of your country. Is it any wonder he succeeded where Bush failed?

new decade, new war, same US!
Why are helping them get supplies, while they launch drone attacks in our north western border?

Yes! The mighty US of A is launching drone strikes for two reasons:

1. Kiyani wanted the Americans to do the dirty work of smoking out the Taliban along the AFPAK border by drones (according to a secret understanding) as he didn't want to bell the cat. The resources required including logistics would be enormous, not to talk of the casualties to the Army that would have resulted in such an offensive. (I believe there is a rethink on this issue and the PA may go after those Taliban brigands soon).

2. Kiyani, according to the Americans wasn't doing enough to battle the Afghan Taliban hiding in Waziristan (probably due to collateral damage which could have gone against Pakistan's interests).

In other words as far as Pakistan is concerned, it's damned if you do, and damned if you don't!

Other nations like Japan and South Korea demonstrate they are allies in good faith by covering these costs at no expense. They even chip in on ship maintenance work.

Why do you seek the opposite - a merely mercenary relationship between Pakistan and the United States?

LOL! just lol

Drone attacks in South Korea?
CIA agents in South Korea?
Raymond Davis'?

South Korea and Japan are economic giants, don't compare them to us, plz understand that this may be Pakistan's war, but it is your war too.
and to be honest Pakistan cannot afford your war.

Plz by all means halt the aid and our involvement in the WOT, it has done us no good.

30,000 Pakistanis killed, billions spent on the war which Pakistan cannot afford and to top it all off the corrupt govt in place in the name of 'democracy' robs us of any aid.

Pakistan has cleared most of it's North Western provinces, more so done than in Afghanistan by the US and it's allies, with much less resources too.
And yet, we are still told we don't do enough. sure OBL was caught in Pakistan, but wasn't he in Afghanistan too, Tora Bora was a failure too.

Major non-NATO aly???
Bulls**t!

The 'aid' is compensation for the expenses paid in the WOT.
Pakistan is a very poor country. Every bomb dropped by the F16s over the militants, every cannon fire, every grenade launched is not cheap there. And we are talking about dozens of incidents of violence involving the Pakistani security agencies EVERY DAY! Add them up.
True, these religious fanatics would have to be dealt with eventually. But the heat is too much on since 9/11 for Pakistan's meager resources.

Also, the 'aid' for the full year is less than one month's foreign remittance--with no strings attached.

1. Kiyani is a weak man, a puppet of the US, the army needs leadership reform.

2. Yes, why should we battle the Afghan Taliban???? they are in Afghanistan and they move freely through the border. Time and time again we have requested that the US and it's allies secure the border. But those requests are simply ignored.

Pakistani shouldn't associate it's war with the US' war.
