#2 putting too much pressure on Pakistan alone to battle militants.

Make up your mind--worse than a woman! You request aid so you can take care of your internal problems then complain when we expect you to do it. We'd be glad to have at it--just step out of the way!

#3 too many strings attached?

Just give us the money; don't ask questions. We will, heh, heh, take care of it. If we didn't have to deal with Pakistan and their exported terrorism I say dump this $hit hole and forget it. Unfortunately, we can't do that. This war is like swallowing spit; once you start you can't stop.

#8 "The bill has put Pakistan and its people in the dock," said Mushahid Hussain, secretary general of the Pakistan Muslim League-Q, the political party aligned with the former military ruler Pervez Musharraf.

Member of the opposition engaging in pointless obstructionism to annoy the govt and make political hay, knowing it will pass anyway. Pakistan not the only place that happens, eh?
