Sen. Paul says he has support to force vote on measure to block Pakistan aid

Let us not forget about this Dr. who helped us get Bin-Laden, Rand Paul will not. It seems liberals care more about terrorists at Gitmo than they do about people who actually help us..

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said he had enough support to force a vote on his measure to end all aid to Pakistan if the government there fails to release a doctor who aided American forces in the tracking of Osama bin Laden.

“If Dr. Afridi is still in jail next week, I will force this vote,” Paul said on the floor Tuesday morning.

U.S. intelligence agents credit Shakil Afridi with aiding their search for the fugitive al Qaeda leader, who was eventually killed in a 2011 raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan.


Paul said he now has the necessary number of signatures on a cloture petition to force the vote. Pending the outcome of the appeal trial of Afridi, Paul said he would call for a vote on cutting aid to the Pakistani government as early as July 20.

“Pakistan has now imprisoned this doctor for 33 years,” Paul said. “And what did President Obama do, he sent them another billion dollars ... they disrespected us and what do we do we send them another billion dollars last week.”
