Pakistan blackmails US in the War on Terror
The Pakistani government and the Pakistani army have now resorted to pure blackmail of the new US government under 44th US President Barack Obama. The US government in the first ever statement related to US aid to Pakistan had said that all non military aid to Pakistan would now be linked to Pakistan’s performance on the War on Terror front. US had said that it was Pakistan’s responsibility to keep the borders of Afghanistan common with Afghanistan and that Pakistan should not let its territories be used as a hideout for the Taliban and Al-Qaida terrorists. The US forces have in recent times been facing attacks by these terrorists launched from Pakistani territories adjoining Afghanistan.
The Pakistani government and the Pakistani army replied to this US statement by saying that Pakistan may have to review all options related to its support to the War on Terror. What does it mean? This means in plain terms that Pakistan will keep using US non military aid for purposes of encouraging hardline Talibani islamic fundamentals in its territories and wouldn’t take any actions against the web of terrorist training camps sprouted throughout its territories.
Pakistan has resorted to plain blackmail of the US. They want the US to continue giving our huge aid to Pakistan without even thinking where the money goes. The aid given to them have been used in the past to fund the terror network throughout the Pakistani territories and the ISI’s covert plans against India. They want this to continue otherwise Pakistan will pull their troupes from the Afghan borders. They had recently resorted to blackmail just after the terrorist strikes in Mumbai. Pakistan has become a rogue state and should be dealt like one without any discrimination.
