I think he put Zakaria (the man seems to have an inflated opinion of himself, never liked him that much) in his place.
I am also getting tired of hearing the same bull about aid given to us
Probably some of it WAS mismanaged but $5 billion as Mush rightly says is a pittance compared with what the US has been spending in Afghanistan ($140+ billion and still 50% of the country is under the control of Taliban)
Good "smacking" of this Fareed Mian.
Two more points if I may.
even if $5 billion AID to Pakistan over 10 years means piddly 500 millions for a nation of 170 million. Pakistan has a budget of $30 billion a year. So you add $500 million and it turns out to be a miniscule amount.
It is time that Pakistan quits telling NATO to fix Afghanistan.
We out to tell NATO that if you don't fix Afghanis, we'll do hot pursuit and if we have to we will take over Easter provinces of Afghanistan.
The new map to be drawn will be a buffer zone of Afghani areas adjacent to northern areas, all the way down to Balochistan border will be overtaken by Pakistan army.
Pakistan must stand on its feet and say enough is enough to these Afghani tribals.
The West will change its tune once they realize that Pakistan means business.
This move will also scare away Indians who want to establish their strategic depth in Afghanistan.
