| Clinton asks US to approve USD 3.2 bn aid to Pak |
| 2010-02-25 |
| Identifying Pakistan as a frontline State along with Afghanistan and Iraq, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday asked American lawmakers to approve the Obama Administration's proposal of USD 3.2 billion civil and military aid to Islamabad for the fiscal year 2011. "In Pakistan, our request includes USD 3.2 billion to combat extremism, promote economic development, strengthen democratic institutions, and build a long-term relationship with the Pakistani people," Clinton said in her testimony before a key Congressional panel. |

| #5 BITE ME! Not a damned penny more! Secretary Clinton is only asking, Deacon Blues. Until Congress approves, nothing will happen. For perspective, we've been giving giving money to Pakistan in lots with entirely too many zeros ever since we geared up to invade Afghanistan. I suspect Ms Clinton's number is in line with past amounts -- it costs a lot to get the jihadi supporters to scale it back to a level our news media won't be forced to notice. |
