US waives restrictions to allow $2bn aid

[Jade]

WASHINGTON, Oct 6: The United States has waived legal restrictions that could have blocked $2 billion of economic and military assistance to Pakistan.

US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has informed Congress that it was in America’s national interest to do so.

The Obama administration, however, refused for the first time to declare that Pakistan is making progress towards ending alleged military support for Taliban and other militant groups.

“Encouraged by the recent positive engagement with Pakistan, the Secretary has decided to exercise her authority to waive in fiscal year 2012 certification requirements on certain civilian and security assistance to Pakistan. The Secretary has determined that such assistance is in the US national security interest,” a State Department official said.

“It is a critical component of US efforts to continue to build a strong, mutually beneficial relationship with Pakistan grounded in concrete action on areas of shared interest,” the official said in a statement issued here

After elections USA would be more busy in Asia pacific and middle east.For now usa has lost all interest in Afghanistan all it want is to leave.So it will be Pakistan which will be dictating terms to USA not the other way round.

USA has not lost any interest in Pakistan, and likely will not either, for the foreseeable future.

Yeah , check out our economy before the Soviet War and even after 2001 and you may finally activate your grey matter ! You think Pakistan is run by US aid ? What the hell is $2bn ?

I am amazed at little kids like you , replying without even an iota of knowledge of the things they are talking about as if they are experts ...

As per the Indian poster here, Pakistan's condition is so bad. If this was the case, it should have fallen flat a long time ago, despite the US funding.

It didn't and I wonder why.

Old enough to be your father , kid ...

I thought we were talking only about AID ? But I guess it is easy to try to change the topic or statement once refuted , right ! ... When exactly did US save Pakistan ? Do you even know how many times sanctions have been imposed by them on us ?

Yeah , dream on ! But derail not the thread ... Role of US in '71 or anywhere else isn't the topic but of course its your ungovernable impulse to troll ...
