"We need Pakistan, Pakistan needs us, but we don't need Pakistan double-dealing and not seeing the justice in bringing Usama bin Laden to an end," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who pushed for the additional cut in aid.
He called Pakistan "a schizophrenic ally," helping the United States at one turn, but then aiding the Haqqani network which has claimed responsibility for several attacks on Americans. The group also has ties to al-Aida and the Taliban.
"It's Alice in Wonderland at best," said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. "If this is cooperation, I'd hate like hell to see opposition."
One of the most forceful statements came from Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who also serves that the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. She pointed out that Pakistan has suffered at the hands of terrorists yet misconstrued what is treason in convicting Afridi. She also insisted that Afridi was not a spy.
"This conviction says to me that al-Aida is viewed by the court to be Pakistan," said Feinstein, who said it made her rethink U.S. assistance.
The committee approved Graham's amendment to cut the assistance by $33 million on a 30-0 vote.
I say cut them off completely.

I knew our Gay Congressman was good for something. We need to suspend aid to many countries and focus on ourselves.

The best way to cut off aid to Pakistan is to stop taking taxis or shopping at 7-Eleven.

That's because you are a terrorist and not because you work in IT. We all know that the wife and 3 girls are a front.

Re: Congress Finds Something They Agree on: Pakistan Sucks B
Wait, we're bitching that someone else is double-dealing?
Freedom and fair elections for people in the Middle East....uh, except for our allies. We'll arm them, train them, and let them crush their people.
We should be out of Afghanistan...and Pakistan...and a whole bunch of other places.
We should pull out of all these shithole countries and take over Saudi Arabia. We get the oil we need and we tell the Muslins if they keep fucking with us we will turn Mecca into the next US nuclear testing facility.
