US bill proposes to stop aid to Pakistan

how many times will they [US] propose a bill to stop aid to Pakistan .....

and DS - How many times have i posted PLEASE keep your aid.
Stats show that in the 90s when aid was halted by the Americans our economy grew and became stronger. In all honesty if you were to do a paper trial to where this money goes you will be surprised how little the aid gets to the destination where it is meant for 90 to 95% is plundered and robbed by our scumbag leaders hence the average man on the street would hardly notice if this "aid" was in fact stopped - so please keep the aid and just leave our nation alone...
 
the biggest beneficiary of this aids is pakistani army...they have got a lot of goodies from US.....No wonder why they don't act against drone attacks.
 
They should also take notice of tax payer dollar being used to fund weapons for killing of NATO soldiers.

Banning funding to Pakistan will enable to Pakistan to liberlise its economy and making self sufficiency in all front.

So be it. However if one front is 'thanda'; why not turn up the heat onthe other front! This time is as good as any other. Probably better than any other!

Pussyfooting or procrastinating is not going to push the problem away into the distance. Rather like a festering wound, it has the potential to cause greater damage over time.

I can't see any other logically sensible way. Do you?

Unfortunately in this case.. the wound is near the aorta.. a hasty surgery has the danger of backfiring and killing the patient.

pakistan is already a open economy unlike ours..... liberalization took place long back.
 
US bill prohibits aid to Pak till it cooperates on terror war


Washington: A Congressional Committee in its budgetary proposals for the year 2013 has prohibited economic and security assistance to Pakistan till it co-operates with the US in the fight against terrorism and takes action against groups like Haqqani Network, Taliban, al-Qaeda, LeT and JeM.
"The legislation prohibits economic and security assistance unless the Government of Pakistan is cooperating with the US on counterterrorism efforts and other issues," the House Appropriations Committee said in a statement as it released the 2013 State and Foreign Operations Appropriations Bill.
The bill totals USD 40.1 billion in regular discretionary funding, which is USD two billion or five per cent below last year's level. The bill running into 208 pages will be considered by a Congressional sub-committee later on Wednesday.
Among other things, the bill includes USD 8.2 billion in Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terror funding, which will adequately provide for continued US involvement in front-line countries and other war-related efforts.
In total, including war funding, the bill is USD five billion – or nine per cent– below fiscal year 2012, the House Committee said in a statement.
"It is more important than ever that taxpayer dollars be used in the most efficient, frugal, and common-sense way to balance our international responsibilities with the very real economic and financial challenges we face here at home. This bill meets our commitment to providing essential security, diplomatic, and humanitarian assistance abroad, while reducing funding for lower-priority programs and providing a keen eye towards the oversight of every tax dollar," Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers said in a statement.
The legislation also withholds operating funds until a transition plan is submitted and withholds assistance until certifications that proper security is in place for civilian aid workers can be made.
According to the bill, none of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act to Pakistan may be made available unless the Secretary of State certifies that Pakistan is cooperating with US on counterterrorism efforts against the Haqqani Network, the Taliban, Lashkar e-Tayyiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, Al-Qaeda and other terror groups, including taking steps to end support for such groups and prevent them from basing and operating in Pakistan and carrying out cross border attacks into neighboring countries.
Other conditions include Pakistan taking strong action against IEDs, which is said to be responsible for most American casualties in Afghanistan.
The bill also seeks a set of benchmarks for Pakistan from the Government and if these benchmarks are not met, the US aid to Pakistan would be suspended.
Oh!! Comeon USA U gotta stop this Aids/disease to us at last cuz its not gonna make us weaker anymore we already got immunity from this disease.This Aidz/disease not gonna make us bend down to ure desirez nomore.....:smokin:
 
Good decision. No country will ever be able to stand on it's foots with Aid's.

Aid was a big harm for Pakistan, as it was taken in the name of Pakistan & was only beneficial to rulers like ghaddari & co. It gives Pakistan a bad name & allowed foreign interference freely.

Trade is thousand times better compared to aids so way to go Pakistan.:pakistan::usflag:
 
The point is mate, do UK dictate their terms on India like the recent MMRCA deal and the aid goes to NGOs ,not Indian Armed Forces nor GOI. American Aid has caused more turmoil in your country and UK aid has no effect on India. Think facts before posting BS.
I bet he is fan of Mr. Haffizz and he didn't read the article himself.
There are some figures in that article which mention Indians spending on defence and space programme. Plus you should see the GOI spending on health and ruler development. Some of expenditures are bigger than our neighbouring countries GDP. But you can't see that :D

For Pakistan it is the government who is receiving the Aid.

Indian government never stop NGOs and religious organisations from getting aid from foreign countries and also neither tax them. Its no way related to GOI getting aid. And you know church themselves feel that they should help poor in third world countries.
 
I can understand Indians making fun of AID :D but I am unable to understand Pak member going against it :D

Common be realistic. USA destroyed your country. Even if they themself didn't bomb Karachi or Lahore the terrorist whom they pissed did the job. Result of which investment run away. You economy is nose diving. All your resources are going into maintainance and not in development.
Right now only option for Pakistan is to agree to control extremism and flush out terrorist out of your territory and ask for investments and infrastructure development in return form USA. Instead of Adoring Hakkanis in the hope that they can be useful against India ( in the war that will not happen ) cooperate with USA for development of Pak and Afgan. These extremist aren't going to help the situation in Pak or Afgan. Even Pak leadership can ask for security insurance against India ( imaginary ) threat.
China will never help Pakistan in terms of AID. China is a business minded country. So hoping China will develop your economy is waiting for Sun rising from North. China will help you against India only. It's their interest to help you. They won't help you grow your industries as they will lose a potential market. USA can help you develope your economy but leadership has to be smart to ask what's needed.
1B or 10B in cash isn't going to help Pak anymore. What they should ask precisely is infrastructure development in Aid and Loans from international finatial institutions for economy. BUT to happen this Pak has to clear the terrorist from its ground.

You countries development should be placed on higher priorities than maintaining proxy elements to trouble other countries

You won't know if you only utter these sh1t out of your @ss. A tour to Pakistan will send you to hey hay.

Chinese are funding or helping building more than half of the infrastructures in the nation. Road/Highways, Ports, Bridges, Dam, Power Plants, etc.

Try to earn some respect and being a decent member of the forum.

Pakistani Islamists and lefties (or leftards) have every reason to be mad at the USA.

It is part of their belief system.

I respect their right. It is just that I oppose the Islamists and leftards. and I hope you respect my rights too.

However no belief system should not make us totally blind.

Unfortunately the comments above are the blind man's comments.

Pakistan's high tech weaponry may be be low on quantity but it is best in the region.

You seems to disparage P-3c, Cobras and F-16s out of sheer blindness about military hardware and lack of knowledge.

What can I say. May God bless you with sight, hearing, and thinking sense.


peace.
