Only things popping up with my Google Fu is that Pakistan convicted the doctor who informed us about Bin Laden for conspiring against the state, and that [link]US drone strikes really tick off Pakistan[/link] despite being rather effective in killing terrorists. Am I missing anything?

Drone kills four, Senate to cut aid to, acid women fear backlash over movie, and negotiations during the Chicago Summit?

So, it's ok for America to bomb Pakistani soldiers with no apology for its acitons and to run covert ops, gathering information about an ally's populace (DNA), information America could never legally gather on it's own populace, but it's not ok for that ally to take issue with these items?

Does anyone question what sort of response America would take to an ally gathering DNA on their citizens and bombing American troops with no apology?

Well, they could certainly take a stand by not cashing the checks.

Sounds peachy.

That was a hopeful comment and not an actual expectation yes? I mean, Republicans show you daily that people don't actually do that.

More of a dismissal of Pakistan's ******** when they're getting billions in aid in exchange for their supposed assistance in the whole "Catch bin Laden and stop Al'Qaeda" thing.

This. If Pakistan killed someone who organized a lot of stuff to hurt Pakistan/Pakistani citizens in the US and the US would find out about an American citizen who helped them gather information for the assassination I doubt he'd get treated much better than this doctor.

How many billions of dollars to find this guy is Pakistan paying us in this hypothetical?

We're seriously considering writing them a very sternly-worded letter.

So their loyalty ended right around the time you guys decided to stop paying for it?

I was pretty sure we had to play nice until we get all our equipment out of Afghanistan; since Pakistan's ports are our best option and what not.

Not like giving them more money was making them more loyal though. I guess we got more for our money than we would have out of Iran. There's that at least. Smiley: rolleyes

Actually, the funding was reduced as a result of "Oh, you mean bin Laden was there all along? Haha... who knew?", restrictions on supply movement, restrictions on intelligence gathering and other odds and ends. We weren't getting our money's worth.

Pakistan has blocked land access through to Afghanistan for NATO.

I could have sworn I was reading the other day about negotiations for transit, I'm guessing that all fell through then? Or never had a chance or something? Smiley: frown

Edit (answering my own question...):

Quote:
The two countries also failed to reach agreement at the Nato summit in Chicago over the supply routes that were closed after a US air strike in 2011 killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.

Islamabad is demanding more than $5,000 (£3,200) per lorry, up from its previous rate of $250, to let supplies flow again.


From the bottom of this.

This latest bit o' news would lead one to believe that the US wasn't really getting their monies worth all along.

Or maybe they weren't paying enough to get worthwhile loyalty? The whole point of this is that when buying loyalty, be shocked by nothing, as it's fleeting at best.
