This will make Pakistan the largest recipient of US development aid. Pakistan will still receive military aid. This will make Pakistan’s aid package eclipse that of Egypt’s and rival that of Israel’s–and probably exceed the Israeli package.

It simply boggles the mind. Certainly they must know that this “aid” will simply not be put to the intended use…
