US cancels $300 million in aid to Pakistan for failure to take decisive action against jihadis

Sep 2, 2018 10:14 am By Robert Spencer

“But U.S. officials had held out the possibility that Pakistan could win back that support if it changed its behavior.”

Yes, they always promise to do so. But we have heard that song and dance before, such that even the New York Times has noticed. “War is deceit,” said Muhammad (Bukhari 4.52.268).

“Exclusive: Pentagon cancels aid to Pakistan over record on militants,” by Phil Stewart and Idrees Ali, Reuters, August 31, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. military said it has made a final decision to cancel $300 million in aid to Pakistan that had been suspended over Islamabad’s perceived failure to take decisive action against militants, in a new blow to deteriorating ties.

The so-called Coalition Support Funds were part of a broader suspension in aid to Pakistan announced by President Donald Trump at the start of the year, when he accused Pakistan of rewarding past assistance with “nothing but lies & deceit.”

The Trump administration says Islamabad is granting safe haven to insurgents who are waging a 17-year-old war in neighboring Afghanistan, a charge Pakistan denies.

But U.S. officials had held out the possibility that Pakistan could win back that support if it changed its behavior….

    Finally, the US administration is stopping this waste of my tax money. For last 18 years US given Pakistan about 2 Billion dollars a years which they used for buying more defense equipment to fight against India and also to aid all Paki terror organizations such as LET, Jaishe Mohammaad,.. to spread terror in Kashmir, India. All “aid” to Pakisitan should be stopped!! Its about time!

      Greg,

      Trump seems to be doing the same way as the Islamic fanatics do- IN STAGES. A taste of their own medicine?

      Great news. Maybe those funds can be used to build border wall!

    I say Yeah as well. Especially now with their President whom sounds like another Iranian psychopath.

    We finally have a President and an administration that make decisions based on common sense and reality.

  6. Kilfincelt says

    Correction: Should read “…that makes decisions…”

    Hello! Bin Laden lived a mile from the Pakistani military academy. They never noticed. BS. They knew. They helped. If Bush wanted a Mideast boots on the ground war, this was the country to destroy. Pakistan is an enemy of the US.

    • Jayell says

      Pakistan is the enemy of the West and what the West stands for. And when they’re allowed to infiltrate in the West, it becomes very obvious – as we know in the UK.

    Pakistan can not be trusted, period. Even the Obama administration recognized this, and that is saying something.

    As I recall, the US couldn’t trust Pakistan to keep the planned raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound under wraps, so American officials did not tip off the Pakistani government to the special forces operation that took out bin Laden.

    No aid, zero dollars, to Pakistan unless they drastically change their behavior. President Trump is 100% correct.

      Please Google for the motto of the Paki army and what it means!! Will be an eye opener.

    Well done President Trump, you are our great President, May God Bless USA.

    We the tax payers appreciate you for cancelling the aid to Pakistan.

      Write to President Trump. An actual letter, on paper. Congratulate him.

      And – you are in the UK, if I recall correctly? – write to your own government and tell them to do as Trump has just done.

      STOP the jizya! STOP the de-facto ‘tribute’.

    The Islamic conquest has always been in stages and its destruction ( of lies, savagery, thuggery, sharia oppression) should also be in stages. That seems to be the tone of the president.

    What better way to deal with an evil religion/supremacists political ideology?

    The President is not only doing right but in the right way. BTW he is not into rhetoric anymore( as his actions are speaking louder than words.)

    Thank God for giving such a smart leader on the world stage. Thank you, America for producing one.

    Excellent news.

    Place a moratorium on all aid to Moslem majority nations. And think of all the money we save!

    See why it pays to have a businessman as President?

    So long as you have this little thing called taxes, the country NEEDS to be run like a business. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      You said – “Place a moratorium on all aid to Moslem majority nations. And think of all the money we save!

      See why it pays to have a businessman as President?”

      Yes.

      Trump has reviewed the results of the ‘investments’ in Pakistan – and in UNRWA too! – and has decided that the investment was NOT paying returns nor likely to; so, like any sensible businessman, he has decided to CEASE from throwing good money after bad. End of!

      Here’s hoping he has a list of ALL the Mohammedan entities that are sucking down jizya and tribute endlessly from the USA, and giving, in return, only ingratitude, threats, insults, lies and terrorist plots or enabling of same.

      One by one by one… cut ’em off. No more dollars! And the US bottom line will start to look a bit healthier, without all that money being bled off into the bottomless pit of the dar al Islam.

    How I wish the adminstration could articulate well the reasons behind wise decisions like these.

    OK. Now are the EU going to pick up the tab like it did with Iran? LOL!!!

    GOOD! Not only should the USA, but the entire Western World should stop all AID to the Muslim world. Plenty other better things to spend it on. Saudi, The Emirates etc. are pretty flush, let this great Islamic ummah look after itself. They don’t really give anything else to the world except the desire to spread their own form of misery.

    There is a Pakistani doctor languishing in a Pakistani jail. This brave man aided our Seals in locating Bin Laden. We should insist he be freed and give him asylum here in the US. If they do not, we should send the Seals to get him out. Thee will be some “Collateral damage.”

      The poor doctor needs US help. Hope the US will act sooner than later.

    The trouble is that the “powers that be” are actually using Islam against Christians, Jews, the West and America, especially. This is why they are encouraging the influx of Muslim immigrants into Europe as well as the USA.

    In the Book of Isaiah there is a part that says something like: “The Medes (Persia) will be used (“passive voice”—somebody is using them to do something) to bring on the chastisement.”

    What in the world? The chastisement will be when the Muslims come against us in their Jihad and Christians will choose beheading over becoming Muslim and/or taking the Mark of the beast.

    Why would world leaders not only allow this, but set it up this way? Because the New World Order would be impossible to set up, as they desire, with Christians “in the way,” refusing the “mark of the beast”and refusing to become Luciferians.

    Thank God! Any money sent to an Islamic nation is suicide.

    We must help Trump. He may be our last chance against Islam

  23. TWG says

    ALL aid to ALL islamic countries should be cut off immediately for their blatant human and civil rights violations. It’s simple to prove.
