Coming back to topic, you are here to Lecture that Pakistanis Lay it on thick. Dear disillusioned "friend" where were you in 1971? Where you post 2005? Where were you in 2014?
Now, now... IF you bother to look up on forums, plenty of Pakistanis have defended the US and their positive interventions in Pakistan, with programs like ATAP, ICITAP, USAID, CEV, MIS John Coffee Institute, PAIMAN, TAUH, JSI. As someone who benefited from US Chinooks and black hawks flying our teams to battagram and Mansehra, and the PJs providing TTC to our injured and ill.
The US provided aid to it's "strategic" partner, it fulfilled it's obligation as a global super power, and continues to do so in Pakistan and Pakistanis are grateful for it, at least the ones who know what's worth what. But you can't come here and aim to post a 5 liner post in a cheap bit to try and divert attention from the FACT that the "USA" uses and disposes of Pakistan, it always has and always will.
USAID helps Pakistan, yes DOS helps Pakistan, YES and ATAP helps Pakistan, yes but all this is a "Big Business" oppertunity for your "contractors" to do "Order fulfilment" and the money gets funneled back in to the "United States". Take for example the US ATAP program in Pakistan since 2003 it has been run by the DOS, and in 2005 it was handed over to a series of Private Contractors, everyone who runs the program is a US Gov/DOS or DOD Contractor and the money is funneled back into the US.
Same with USAID projects where the TORs will strictly stipulate that the equipment must be of a specific type, i.e. "Tagederm" dressing which is only sold by 3M USA, guess where the money goes or the recent "instructor" facade, why not hire cross trained local instructors?
Well the simple answer is, "Big Business USA" needs the cash, companies like Sallyport LLC, Olive Group, Tripple Canopy, Catalyst LLC etc... Google them if you want, check their annual returns from USAID and DOS/DOD/DOJ projects in Pakistan alone...

Where were you in 1971, where were you in 2005, where were you in 2015? Kerry comes and slaps us with a $1 billion cooperative security bursary... You think we don't know what that's for? Come on, give us a little credit, we can read too.
We have tried the US as a friend since 1965 and let down every step of the way, China is the only nation that despite it's own strategic goals has maintained a open and honest relationship with Pakistan, one based on mutual trust and not like some smooth talking used car salesman.
Thanks for stopping by....
LONG LIVE PAKISTAN-CHINA FRIENDSHIP!
Janab - Do you have that much free time that you wrote that jumbo size post for an Indian when one liner is more than enough ?
