US to triple foreign aid to Pakistan; nearly $8 billion in nonmiltary development aid

Re: US to triple foreign aid to Pakistan; nearly $8 billion in nonmiltary development

That is exactly what I mean. All aid is tied to buying items from US firms which is not to the benefit of Pakistan. We will have to buy expensive items that will be unreliable. So much for being the largest aid recipient.

Now if we were given grants, that would be a different matter all together and worthy of praise.
