Washington/Islamabad: The US Defence Department has withheld $50 million (Dh183 million) in Pakistan military payments after Pentagon chief Jim Mattis determined Islamabad is not doing enough to counter the Taliban-affiliated Haqqani network, an official said on Friday.

“Secretary Mattis has informed congressional defence committees that he was not able to certify that Pakistan has taken sufficient actions against the Haqqani network to permit full reimbursement of Fiscal Year 2016 Coalition Support Funds,” Pentagon spokesman Adam Stump said.

The United States had allotted $900 million in military aid to Pakistan through the special fund.

The country has already received $550 million of that, but Mattis’s decision means $50 million will be withheld. The remaining $300 million was rescinded by Congress as part of a broader appropriations act.

While I would love to lay all of this loveliness at Rahm's feet.......the guy is all about privatization. He is the GOP wet dream. A lot has to do with sentencing and changes that occur at the state level. Lock that shit up. The revolving door of arrest/release has to go.

Well, look at that.
Withheld for how long? The U.S. obsession with the Middle East can only be put on hold for so long.

Hopefully until Pakistan has done everything they can do on their end to destroy the Haqqani network.

But, you know..........I have trust issues.
 
Oh i think Pakistan will survive just fine on a $Billion in American Tax Dollars. Pretty sure it can live without this $50 Million. Pakistan is just another evil nation our Government has sold us out to. The 'Foreign Aid' issue will never be seriously reassessed. American Citizens have no say in it whatsoever. How bout that 'Freedom & Democracy?'

thank you and that's true, the entire state is corrupt... but my overall point is the fifty years. i'm not sure chicago even has a republican party.

They do. They just all look alike. They will support each other to get one person in the party ousted. It's all about the cash.
 
well, the voters saw through hillary, they'll see through russiapalooza, actually i think they already have if you look at ratings and failed/failing democrat attack vehicles like the ny times and cnn.

they supposedly found bin laden in abbottabad, so no money for pakistan.
they're armed, let them be india's rival. china takes n korea, Trump will fix the rest of the obama clinton foreign policy disasters.
