[QUOTE="Archived_Member16, post: 149168, member: 884"] [COLOR="Navy"]July 9, 2011 [B][SIZE="5"]U.S. Defers Millions in Pakistani Military Aid[/SIZE][/B] By ERIC SCHMITT and JANE PERLEZ - New York Times - July 9, 2011 [B] WASHINGTON[/B] — The Obama administration is suspending and, in some cases, canceling hundreds of millions of dollars of aid to the Pakistani military, in a move to chasten Pakistan for expelling American military trainers and to press its army to fight militants more effectively. Coupled with a statement from the top American military officer last week linking Pakistan’s military spy agency to the recent murder of a Pakistani journalist, the halting or withdrawal of military equipment and other aid to Pakistan illustrates the depth of the debate inside the Obama administration over how to change the behavior of one of its key counterterrorism partners.
