Rice Says U.S. Will Review Aid To Pakistan - washingtonpost.com
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Sunday that the United States would review its $150 million-a-month assistance program to Pakistan in response to the declaration of emergency rule by the president, Gen. Pervez Mushar.
Pakistan has long been a safe harbor for terrorists in the area along the nearly non-existent border with Afghanistan. It’s intelligence service and military are rife with al-Qaeda sympathizers. It’s not terribly stable and has nukes. More attention should have been paid to the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region. Instead we’re bogged down in Iraq. Now both seem to be deteriorating.
