Hillary and Pakistan $7.5 billion?????????


Posted: Jul 19, 2010

Is this part of the TARP money or does she think it's going to magically appear?

 

ISLAMABAD – U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton sought Monday to convince skeptical Pakistanis that American interest in their country extends beyond the fight against Islamist militants by announcing a raft of new aid projects worth $500 million.

The projects, which include hospitals and new dams for badly needed electricity, are part of a $7.5 billion aid effort to win over Pakistanis suspicious about Washington's goals here and in neighboring Afghanistan, where U.S. troops are being killed in ever greater numbers in an insurgency with roots in Pakistan.

Mistrust over U.S. intentions in Pakistan is in part due to Washington's decision to turn away from the nuclear-armed country after enlisting its support to defeat the Soviets in Afghanistan in the 1980s.

"Of course there is a legacy of suspicion that we inherited. It is not going to be eliminated overnight," said Clinton following talks in Islamabad.

This from the Christian Science Monitor 33 minutes ago:

In announcing $500 million to help Pakistanis generate more electricity, the US is putting its money where its mouth is. And that could make all the difference in restoring Pakistani trust in America

Ironic; the Pakistanis will trust her when nobody on US shores will. - nm
