| India again denounces US military aid to Pakistan |
| 2011-05-29 |
| NEW DELHI - India has again denounced U.S. military aid to Pakistan which it says is being used by Islamabad against Indian interests, local media reported on Saturday. New Delhi has long accused Pakistan’s powerful military of aiding militant attacks on Indian soil, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks, a charge Islamabad denies. “This (aid) is being used against us, which is not a nice gesture on the part of (the) U.S. and we have raised this issue with them many times,” Defence Minister A.K. Antony was quoted as saying by the Indo-Asian News Service. U.S. aid to Pakistan is viewed with concern in India and has been an irritant as Washington looks to upgrade strategic and economic ties with the emerging Asian power. Pakistan has received $20.7 billion worth of U.S. assistance over the past decade, about two-thirds of it military aid. |

| #4 Dear India: if you want to express common sense views, then speak only to leaders who understand common sense. The notion of "Jihad subsidy" is filtered out at the doors of the White House and Congress. |

| #3 US military aid is most likely being used against the US more often than against India so they can just get in line down in the complaints department and wait for their number to be called. Just because the Americans were dumb enough to vote in a non-American government that doesn't care about our own interests doesn't mean that India should stop looking out for theirs. |
