    US AID To PAKISTAN

     

    US POLICY MAKERS heading towards NEW BANGALADESH type of tragedy by blindly BACKING PAK Army which rules that rogue nation.



    Between 1964 to 1971 US Administration ARMED PAKISTAN to the teeth & according to Henry Kissinger 3rd World War could have happened in 1971 by supporting Pakistan against India & Bangladesh Freedom Fighters.

     

    Again , between 1990 & 2000 , again US Adm. filled Pak Army with Arms, & Billion Dollars Financial Aid to support Taliban & 9/11 happened. During this time 1st ISLAMIC BOMB was also allowed to develop in Pakistan.

     

    (1) ISLAMABAD:

    The former President, Pervez Musharraf, has said the military aid the U.S. gave Pakistan for the war against terror during his tenure was used to strengthen defences against India.

     

     

    Gen.(Retd.) Musharraf admitted that he had violated the rules governing the use of the military aid, but justified his action, saying he had “acted in the best interest of Pakistan.”
    He did not want to compromise on Pakistan’s interests, he said. In an interview to a news channel, he said he “did not care” whether the U.S. would be angered by his disclosure.
    India and several influential lawmakers in the U.S. have been accusing Pakistan of having used the U.S. funds to strengthen its defences against India. However, Pakistan has denied any wrongdoing.

     

    Gen. (Retd.) Musharraf said that had he not supported the U.S. in the war on terror after the September, 2001 attacks, American forces could have entered Pakistan to capture its nuclear assets; it was also possible that the U.S. and India could have jointly attacked the country.

     

    (2) Al Qaeda wants Pak's N-secrets: Holbrooke

     

    The US special envoy to AfPak, Richard Holbrooke, has revealed an evil nexus between Al Qaeda and Pakistan's nuclear establishment.

     

    The disturbing truth that Al Qaeda was trying to lay its hands on Pakistan's nuclear arsenal came out at a reception hosted by the Congressional Caucus on Afghanistan at the Capitol Hill on Wednesday.

     

    Holbrooke said Al Qaeda has been publicly asking people to attack the US and seeking nuclear engineers to give them nuke secrets from Pakistan. The statement comes close on the heels of similar claims made in another report which accuses the terror group of seeking nuclear secrets from Pakistani scientist A.Q. Khan.

     

    According to the Congressional Research Service report: "In 1998 Osama bin Laden had sent emissaries to establish contact with the network. Al Qaeda had established contact with Pakistani scientists who discussed development of nuclear devices that would require hard-to-obtain materials like uranium to create a nuclear explosion."

     

    The US has been unsuccessfully seeking access to Khan in order to learn the extent of his nuclear black market. But, America still doesn't seem to be dealing with the Pakistan-Qaeda nexus with an iron hand.

     

    Holbrooke said, "Obama administration has not only increased the number of security forces in the country but has also increased the aid substantially to Pakistan."

     

     

    The US clearly still seems to be playing the waiting game. But it would do well to realise that it continues to feed a menace that is growing into a monster.
