HERE-65% Want to End Aid to Pakistan THERE-69% View USA as an enemy
We want to stop giving them money, they want to kill us.
Oh.
What’s wrong with this picture?
Hardly any Americans view Pakistan as an ally of the United States and there is strong support for ending all foreign aid to that country.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 65% of Likely Voters want to all military and financial aid to Pakistan. Only 11% want it to continue while 24% are not sure.
Just 3% view Pakistan as an ally and 25% see it as an enemy. Most (62%) see it somewhere in between.
Meanwhile back in Pakistan …..
‘Pakistanis would feel more secure without US aid’
Despite the huge amount of aid Pakistan gets from the US, the relations between the troubled allies are plunging into deeper crisis. An expert told RT that the Pakistani people would be better off if the US was not subsidizing the Pakistani military.
The latest blow to Pakistan’s relations with the West came with Islamabad’s decision to boycott a key international meeting in Germany aimed at stabilizing Afghanistan.
Late on Tuesday, the Pakistani prime minister rejected a personal request from Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai asking him to attend the December 5 meeting in Bonn.
Since 2002 the USA has given Pakistan almost $18 billion in direct aid
Since Obama took office this has been about $3 billion a year
