VOA: US: No Decision on Blocking Military Aid to Pakistan
ISLAMABAD — The Obama administration says it has not yet made a decision to block the next military aid disbursement to Pakistan, amid media reports the payment is being withheld due to lack of progress in fighting the Haqqani network.
“No decision has been made regarding certification requirements,” according to Pentagon spokesman Major Roger Cabiness.
Pakistani media had reported Thursday that the administration had decided not to certify to Congress that the Pakistani military’s counter terrorism offensive in the country’s north had damaged the Haqqani network.
WNU Editor: I will be surprised if this military aid is suspended .... but if there is a country that deserves to be blacklisted, it is Pakistan.

You could add turkey to that list
The day we pull out of Afghanistan is the day we should stop paying those fracking backstabbers in Pakistan if not sooner.
