| Senator Kirk: Stop aid to Pakistan |
| 2011-09-07 |
| Following a two-week deployment to Afghanistan, Sen. Mark Kirk, a U.S. Naval intelligence officer, is offering a bold proposal to save the United States money and punish a disloyal ally: Cut off all aid to Pakistan. Furthermore, Kirk would invite Pakistan’s neighbor/nemesis India to take over the United States’ leadership role in rebuilding Afghanistan after the United States begins pulling out this year. “I think the United States should tilt toward India,” Kirk said. |

| #4 As JohnQC says money or not they hate us so why are we paying? Saudis and Pakis are taught from a young age to hate anyone non muslim so money makes no difference to the results in state demanded opinion polls. |

| #3 It doesn't seem that there is a cause and effect relationship associated with the boodle we give them. They would hate us with or without the boodle. They are a failed state ruled by corruption. |

| #2 I agree with Kirk, but Washington would have to get the cancellation cleared by Beijing, which would never happen. There are often strings attached to endless monetary extensions you know. The piper must be paid. |

| #1 It's not 'aid', it's hush money. |
