Pakistan conveys concerns to Obama’s envoy over halt to military aid

25th August, 2016 · admin 6 Comments

pak_us_flagISLAMABAD, Aug. 25 (Xinhua) — Pakistan on Thursday conveyed its serious concern to Dr. Peter Lavoy, Special Assistant to U.S. President Barack Obama, over the halt of 300 million U.S. dollars in military aid to the country, officials said.

U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter decided this month against making a certification to Congress stating that Pakistan is taking sufficient action against the Haqqani network, a Taliban affiliate blamed for attacks on U.S. and allied personnel in Afghanistan, according to Washington Post.

Dr. Peter Lavoy, who is also Senior Director for South Asia at the U.S. National Security Council, held talks with Pakistan’s Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry in Islamabad, amid tension over the blockade of the military aid, the Foreign Ministry said.

Earlier the U.S. Congress also blocked the subsidized sale of F-16 fighter planes to Pakistan.

The U.S. Administration had provisionally approved to the sale of eight F-16s in February, however, a sub-committee on Asia and Pacific of the U.S. Congress Committee on Foreign Affairs blocked the subsidized deal earlier this month.

“The Foreign Secretary lamented that despite Pakistan’s indiscriminate action against all terrorist groups, included the Haqqani Network, the U.S. Administration had decided not to certify the concerted and forceful measures taken by Pakistan,” a Foreign Ministry statement said.

Pakistan’s Foreign Secretary Chaudhry also reiterated the resolve of the Pakistani leadership to not allow anyone to use Pakistan’s soil against any country and apprised the Obama’s envoy about the progress achieved during the military offensive in North Waziristan tribal region.

“Referring to certain recent developments that had placed a strain on the bilateral relationship, the Foreign Secretary stressed that continued engagement was important to resolve the differences of perception and understanding,” the Foreign Ministry further said.

In his remarks, Dr. Lavoy noted that the U.S. Administration recognized the efforts and sacrifices made by the Pakistani nation and its armed forces in the fight against terrorism, the Pakistani statement said.

“He also appreciated Pakistan’s outreach to Afghanistan and efforts aimed at securing peace and stability in Afghanistan.”

He added that given the imperatives of peace, stability and security in the region, continued close cooperation between Pakistan and the United States was very important to successfully fight terrorism and to attain the objectives shared by both countries.

The Foreign Ministry said Dr. Lavoy’s visit is part of the regular high level exchanges between the United States and Pakistan.

    The standing military of Pakistan is totally designed to function as a slave army at the service and whims of the Anglo/US warcriminals- it is basically functional at the level of suppressing its own population and keep the geopolitical interest of NATO alliance in the region.

    IT IS IRONIC THAT THE PEOPLE OF Pakistan have to pay the expense for logistic supports in Afghanistan.

    Pakistani slave army is totally responsible for the destruction of Afghanistsn- as the indirect source of support to Anglo/US war mongers and war criminals.

    The slave army cleared the killing fields of Wazeeristan to the Anglo-US war criminals’ wishes in a stupid military strategy to help the launches of the next grand moves inside Afghanistan- that is how they began their next stage of the most intense warfares on people of Afghanistan which are still raging on but have already totally lost its main angular focused momentum.

    So, what are you going to do now that your master is entangled in deep quagmires all over Afghanistan- no way getting out of that.

    You are both screwd up already- he has not gain any extra militar gains; in fact, lost much more teriterries- he is pissed off.

    And you are screwd up because you are the only one to be blamed for it and consequently be losing your ration, spending funds and all others connected privileges.

    That is what the crazy Anglo/US megalameniacs would do to you- they won’t blame themselves for the bungled tactical military strategy in the process of secret orders to subjugate all of Afghanistan- two hundred years old goofy-like dream.

    To sum it up:
    TOY ARE NOW IN BIG TROUBLE !

    They will spil all of their intensely heated sweats of frustration on you- get ready for it boy !

    YOU ARE THE ONLY WHIPING BOY- MIGHTY MILITARY OF PAKISTAN THE GREAT.

    NOW ( if your brain is still functional) :
    YOU WOULD ALWAYS THINK TWICE BEFORE LAUCHING AND COMMITTING HEINOUS CRIMES ON INNOCENT PEOPLE OF WAZEERISTAN .

    As a good slave you carried out your duties to your master perfectly- but even then you will be blamed for the losses and then subjected to more humiliations, just because they have to report their losses back home to the real Devils in charge who are so arrogant that they would never want to hear an answer for “no, it can’t be done”.
