| Days of US Unconditional Aid to Pakistan Over: Editorial |
| 2011-05-15 |
| [Tolo News] Pakistain's government should realise that the days of Washington's unconditional support are over, the New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... editorial published on 14th May. The New York Times editorial writes the US had never imagined that the late Osama bin Laden ... who is currently rooming with Hitler and Himmler... would be found in the heart of Pakistain "a stone's throw" from leading Pak military academy and "an hour drive from Islamabad". Instead of vowing to find out the responsible Pak officials behind the Osama project, Pakistain is making another mistake by "sheltering and enabling some of the worst anti-American Death Eaters". "Some members of Congress are asking why the United States should continue to provide billions of dollars in aid to such a faithless ally. For now, at least, an aid cut-off would be self-defeating," the New York Times editorial says. It writes that there is no clue that Pakistain is ready to stop "playing all sides" or will ever come to realisation that the fight against Islamic fascisti is not only beneficial to the US, but also vital to its own survival. "There are many more Islamic fascisti hiding in Pakistain," the editorial says. "The best hope for getting out of Afghanistan is some political deal with the Taliban", but it can't be done without a cooperation from Pakistain. And it's because Pakistain has the potential "to facilitate or undermine" a deal between the Taliban and the Afghan government. What will come out of Bin Laden's computer files seized by the US military has also caused widespread concerns among officials in Islamabad, it writes. Pakistain's parliament on Friday condemned the US special force raid in which Osama bin Laden was rubbed out. The editorial highlighted the need for a review of US military aid to Pakistain to consider the key goals of counterinsurgency fight like the detention of the Taliban Chief Mullah Mohammad Omar and leaders of Haqqani network. |

| #1 Like I keep harping, it is not the time to be hard on Pakistan. OBL was there, and we had 355 agents there too. They have been helpful to us to their own detriment. |
