Congress rejects move to stop US funding for Pakistan
By The Newspaper's Correspondent
WASHINGTON: An amendment to stop US funding to Pakistan has been defeated in the House of Representatives, which accepted the Obama administration’s argument that doing so would hurt key US interests.
Congress rejects move to stop US funding for Pakistan - Pakistan - DAWN.COM
But at a separate session, a key congressional committee reduced US aid to Pakistan for 2015 by $65.8 million.
At the House, 320 of the 435 voting members rejected the amendment, proposed by Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, to stop American funding to Pakistan. Mr Rohrabacher still managed to get the support of 92 members, although he did not have a co-sponsor.

Is the $65 M Silver lining good enough to ease the pain? There are 900 Million reasons that say that the efforts by Rohrabacher were not good enough.
He supports breakup of Pakistan and making Balochistan a new country which would please the Indians but it does put their claim in an awkward position where they claim to care for Afghanistan & their friendliness with Iran because Grater Balochistan as envisioned by NeoCons contains parts of Iran and Afghanistan as well. Indian conciliates in Afghanistan wont only have to worry for Haqqani network.. but Ayatullah network and Northern Alliance network may also start tearing a new one in to those numerous cultural centers and conciliates that are setup along the Pak Afghan border.
Now, the silver lining. Although Indians can celebrate for taking a chunk of $65million from our freebee but hey.. ten in hand are much better than 1 or 2 in the bush I say
Whats more, when it comes to bypassing those retards like Rohrabacher, the Administration has creative ways to top-up our requirements separately. they call them reimbursements thank you very much.
At least now we can rest this almost few weeks long question that how this Mi-35 purchase will be funded?
Well Uncle Sam is paying up and he is really impressed with Waziristan operation

is US congress trolling the Indians or is it just me?

I really do believe the US is here for the long haul now. They are watching with horror what is going on in Iraq and will now push hard to see any effort against such terrorists succeed.
What shocked me was the overwhelming block by congress against Rohrabacher i.e. 320 of the 435 voting members rejecting the amendment.
I must say I do fondly remember the various threads put by bad meaning members from our neighbour, regarding this vile little man's policy towards Pakistan e.g. this the end of Pakistan and so on.
