The former US Ambassador said Obama Administration to
put more pressure on Pakistan.
"I think that there have to begin to be consequences
for bad behaviour on the part of the Pakistan military. And
we'll see after the President has his discussions with the
prime minister and the top of the Indian government and comes
home, and they'll, I imagine, have a review.
"We know there'll be a review in December of the
Afghan policy, and I assume closely associated with that will
be a review of the Pakistan policy," he said.
"I very much hope that the US would be willing to put
more pressure on Pakistan; for example, saying military aid is
directly tied to the two issues I mentioned before, and we are
not going to provide military aid if there is evidence, as
there is, that Pakistan is supporting cross-border terrorism
against India and if there is evidence, as there is, that
Pakistan is supporting these Afghan Taliban sanctuaries inside
Pakistan. I wouldn't send a dime -- not 10 cents -- to the
Pakistan military if they continue their current conduct," he
said. PTI
