| US threatens Pakistan with cut in aid | |
| 2011-05-16 | |
Chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee John I was in Vietnam, you knowKerry Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, the Senate's current foreign policy expert, filling the vacated wingtips of Joe Biden... has warned that Washington could cut its financial aid to Pakistain amid tension between the two sides. "It is no secret that there are members of Congress who have made a call for a change in the aid program," the News Agency that Dare Not be Named quoted Kerry as saying on Sunday.
... who has won the race to that place where we all eventually end up... on May 2. Washington has accused Pak security and intelligence forces of protecting bin Laden as he had reportedly lived for several years in a compound in a military garrison town just 50 kilometers from the capital, Islamabad. Kerry said recent events have had a deep impact on relations between the US and Pakistain, warning if they cannot find a way to remove problems, "there are a set of downside consequences that can be profound." The US senator made the remarks in Afghanistan before travelling to Pakistain. He is scheduled to visit Pak officials over bin Laden attack as well as the unauthorized drone strikes that have killed many civilians in Pakistain during the past months. Pak politicians have recently passed a resolution condemning the recent US raid that reportedly killed bin Laden, warning that repeating such unauthorized actions could have "dire consequences for peace and security in the region and the world." | |

| #6 Afghanistan and India having been telling the West the problem is Pakistan not Afghanistan for years.Finally their words are being heard in the White House. Until we pull out of Afghanistan we need Pakistan re supply routes.Once we leave support India/Afghanistan with any war with Pakistan.They are the enemy of democracy/freedom of speech/religion etc. Pakistan with Saudi/Chinese funding is the cancer in the region.All three fear true democracy! |

Turkey allegedly refuses to resolve or settle any of the Kurdish problems, issues because of corrupt selfish internal military nepotism. |
