Pakistan army chief says US aid should be diverted
[Dawn]  Pakistain's army chief says billions of dollars in US aid meant for the military's fight against faceless myrmidons should be diverted to bolster the economy and help ordinary Paks.Or maybe we should just put stop payments on the checks, since we're not gonna get what we're paying for... The announcement could be seen as a snub to the US and an attempt to bolster the military's popularity following the American raid that killed the late Osama bin Laden. ... who sleeps with the fishes... Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani ... four star general, current Chief of Army Staff of the Mighty Pak Army. Kayani is the former Director General of ISI... reiterated that the army has ceased its training relationship with the US and has restricted the scope of intelligence sharing. He also said American drone attacks are unacceptable and declined US calls for an operation in the Islamic exemplar-infested North Wazoo tribal area. Kayani's positions were outlined in an unusually detailed statement issued Thursday after a meeting with his top commanders. Posted by: Fred 2011-06-10 |
