US senate humiliates Pak again |
Pakistan was humiliated in an open US senate hearing on Sep 8 with lawmakers and witnesses confirming its terrorism-sponsoring credentials and seeking to further curtail aid to the country+ if it did not modify its behaviour. US senators openly accused Pakistan of killing of American soldiers in Afghanistan through proxies after perfidiously skimming US taxpayer dollars. They called Pakistan duplicitous. Supported by expert witnesses, including a former CIA station chief who served in Islamabad, they threatened further aid cuts to a country that has long lived on American and western dole when it is not extending its begging bowl towards Saudi Arabia and China for more crumbs. Republican senator Bob Corker was particularly incensed that after expending $33 billion in US tax-payer dollars, lot of it spend for infrastructure development in FATA, Washington was finding that Pakistan had spirited out terrorists from the region and was giving them safe havens in urban areas, keeping them out of reach of US drones by hiding them in civilian areas.
