US to designate Pakistan a non-NATO ally
2004-03-18
Visiting US Secretary of State Colin Powell announced here Thursday the United States would designate Pakistan a "major non-NATO ally". "I advised the foreign minister this morning that we will also be making a notification to our Congress that will designate Pakistan as a major non-NATO ally for the purposes of our future military to military relations," Powell told a press conference after meeting his Pakistani counterpart Khurshid Mahmood Kasuri.

#3  B, that is better than most of the acronyms that I have encountered. My all time favorite remains CREEP from the Richard Millhouse days.

#1  Shouldn't that be a Major Non-NATO Ally who can't be provided with F-16s because they would immediately attack India with 90% of them and disassemble the other 10% for reverse engineering and proliferation purposes? My moniker is really not as catchy as Powell's effort.
