Bill introduced in US House to freeze all aid to Pakistan

[Dr. NooB NinjA]

WASHINGTON: A key American lawmaker from Texas has introduced a resolution in the House of Representative to freeze all US aid to Pakistan.

The House Resolution (No HR 3013) if passed will freeze all US aid to Pakistan with the exception of funds that are designated to help secure nuclear weapons.

"Since the discovery of Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan has proven to be disloyal, deceptive and a danger to the United States," Congressman Ted Poe said in a statement after tabling the resolution in the House on Friday.

"This so-called ally continues to take billions in US aid, while at the same time supports the militants who attack us.

"The United States must immediately freeze all aid to Pakistan," said Poe, who is a member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Pakistan has made it "painfully obvious" that they will continue their policy of "duplicity and deceit" by pretending to be US ally in the war on terror while simultaneously promoting violent extremism, the Congressman said.

According Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, just this month the Pakistani government supported the groups who were behind both the truck bomb attack that wounded more than 70 US and Nato Troops and the attack on the US Embassy, Poe said.
The resolution has been sent to the house foreign affairs Committee for necessary action.

It is only after this key Congressional committee approves the resolution that it will be sent to the House of Representatives.

Notably only a few resolutions enter the House of Representatives.

A good move which can be more more good if they approve the Bill NOW immediately without any delay.

 

[Hyde]

well I don't mind economic aid being stopped from all over the world

All i want is... No sanctions on Pakistan and complete freedom to stand her on its own feet

 

[luckyyy]

good it will help control the corruption as according to one oppostioon leader...

 

[fd24]

My calculations are that 90 to 95% aid doesnt reach the destination that it was designated for. This now will force the country to take the steps needed to stand on its own 2 feet. I think this is the catylst they need. It may be a case of 1 step back to achieve 2 steps forward.

Jaarah Saap Kadna Aaa Kaad Lain. ?

Good move. US needs the money more for herself at the time being.

And the aid never went to the masses anyway, only the pockets of corrupted officials if what I've reading here is right.

 

[Dr. NooB NinjA]

No Aid to Pakistan = No more oil to run the American Cavalry in Afganistan.... I Hope American soldiers are trained to tow all that Heavy Cavalry with their bare hands....

 

[King123]

Aid is never good for economy in long run.

When there will be no Aid, Then automatically many steps will be taken to improve economy, trade and so on

 

[Nitin Goyal]

Great news !!! pakistan won't be able to buy sofisticated americans weaponry. F-16s and Orions are going for a toss

 

[Major Shaitan Singh]

Good News Its time to Show the world.... how Pakistan can be governed effectively and grow on its won feet.

They should also stop Military aid too... this will help Pakistan defence industry to grow.....

No More licking... your own independent Policy

Come on Pakistan pull up your sock and its a time for reform.

 

[graphican]

Again that's going to be fruitful for the Pakistanis. Aid is only eaten and misused by the corrupt American footer licker sitting on the top political chairs. The sooner they cut this drug, the sooner they will flee. I will thank US for doing that. Next good step would be to offend Pakistan by conducting an operation inside Pakistani borders.

 

[Hyde]

BTW, Whenever Paistan was put under sanctions our defence forces became more self-reliant

Who knows if cut in economic aid will also force the leadership to exploit our natural reserves and we become self-reliant in this regard

 

[Riseup]

Thank you Americans but pass it ASAP with out any delay and debate.

Exactly, these sanctions have always proved a blessing in disguise....80s, Pakistan emerges a nuclear power....90s....we have our own Tank......Trainer and Fighter aircraft and the story continues. Now it's time for the elites to give up on the Land Cruisers and settle for something like a Mehran.
