[libertad]

We actually need Pakistan more than they need us especially when it comes to Afghanistan. I don't mind cutting off all foreign aid to all countries though.

Why are you Americans that obsessed with Afghanistan? It has no proven natural resources of American interest.

American are hypocrite. Don't trust their words

They are not interested in solving the mess in Afghanistan.
Some senators may talk about cutting aid to pak but what we hear today is continuation of csf till 2016.

Both countries are complicit in supporting taliban terrorist directly or indirectly

30 Billion in 10+ years. 30% unaccounted for. 70% of the remainder 70% of "magnanimous" amount going to US "approved" "consultants". Someone in Capitol Hill needs to sit down, drink tea, and rethink who needs who? Positive outcome of USAID to god know who vis-a-vis Pakistani economy? Zilch. Nada.

China expected to actually spend on Pakistani infra in the range of USD 100+ billion within a span of 3 years. Expected positive input to future Pakistani economy? Unquantifiable!

The US is a time tested enemy of the State of Pakistan. Anyone who doesn't believe that, are kidding with themselves, only.

Hey, nobody is forcing Pakistan to accept US money. Please feel free to turn it down.

should cut all aid to all countries IMO. til we fix problems back at home.

Foreign and military aid is about 1% of the federal budget. Even at this rate it makes US one of the biggest foreign donors in the world. I doubt cutting it would yield any benefits domestically. I think we should review who deserves money and who does not.

US should balance its budget by cutting corporate welfare and tax breaks for the wealthy !

Great advice! Nice to hear a Pakistani lecture about fiscal responsibility when their own financial matters are a mess.

Good idea. Will teach us to stand on our own feet rather than being attacked by a stick so that we can serve others interests. Our real threats are the LEJ, TTP and Jundullah not the Haqqani network, LeT or Gul Bahadur. Keep whining Americans because until we deal with our issues we are not going to fight groups that pose no real threat to us.

When Pakistan is standing on it's own two feet do let us know.

For Pakistan, all these groups don't pose a threat until they start biting the hands that feeds them.

US go get off our back. It is you who has pushed Pakistan into extremism. How peaceful, tolerant and progressive Pakistan was till you came in to counter USSR and fought your cold war on our soil. You promoted fundamentalists, converted the centuries old tradition of Madrasas into militants breeding ground.

What no love for Saudi Arabia, who matched US aid to Pakistan dollar for dollar? And no love for Pakistan, who jumped in willingly to support -- and, ultimately, control -- the jihad in Afghanistan? Zia knew what he was doing when he accepted to be America's cat paw in Afghanistan. Billions in civilian and military aid rolled Pakistan's way, including F-16s.

China expected to actually spend on Pakistani infra in the range of USD 100+ billion within a span of 3 years. Expected positive input to future Pakistani economy? Unquantifiable!

Then ask China to loan you money. Buy their military equipment. Stop taking loans from IMF. Pakistan is literally an appendage of China.

Threat is lost once actions are taken. The soon USA cuts its influence strings, the better it would be for the peace of the world.

Why not, but would you want to tell Pakistan when India stops getting aid from the world. Theoretically, it will be when India would be standing on its feet as well.

It seems you have advises for every nation. The whole US Budget deficit is driven by the Republican Party's reluctance to tax the rich and the corporations.

Royce said it was not surprising to learn that Tashfeen Malik, the female attacker in the recent San Bernardino, California, shooting that left 14 people dead, had studied at a Pakistani school that spread an intolerant message.

"Pakistan maintains an infrastructure of hate,” Royce said. “Thousands of Deobandi madrassas — funded with Gulf state money — teach intolerant, hate-filled rhetoric that inspires the foot soldiers of jihadist terrorism.

total BS
comforted in silk suits, siting oceans away, totally unaware of the ground realities, in lieu of establishing a 'compulsory' topic of debate for the day some people are judging Deobandi Muslims living in Pakistan.
