US won't keep up aid to Pakistan without change: Clinton
2011-06-24
[Dawn] The United States is not prepared to continue the same levels of military aid to Pakistain unless it sees some changes in the relationship, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Daniel Webster ...
 said on Thursday.

"When it comes to our military aid, we are not prepared to continue providing that at the pace we were providing it unless and until we see some steps taken," Clinton told a Senate committee.

She didn't specify the steps, but stressed it was time for the United States and Pakistain to ensure their interests and actions are aligned.

Clinton also said Washington did not believe the top levels of the Pak government knew that al Qaeda leader the late Osama bin Laden
... who is currently warming his feet by the fire with Hitler and Himmler...
 had been hiding in a Pak city before he was killed by US forces there last month.

The United States has been giving Pakistain about $3 billion in aid annually in recent years, much of it for the military.

#2  The top levels didn't need to know exactly where Mr. bin Laden and family were being kept, just that they were protected and properly taken care of.

I guess that statement could be true, if you exclude the military, ISI, most of the Islamic interns and minions right up President 10% from the definition of "top levels"
