Tensions Rise Between United States, Pakistan : NPR: "There have been a series of incidents and issues recently that have contributed to the friction. One of them has to do with a bill introduced by Rep. Howard Berman (D-CA), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, that calls for about $10 billion in military aid and development assistance over the next five years.
Shuja Nawaz with the Atlantic Council says the bill is loaded with conditions that even the most stable government would find difficult to fulfill. 'It's created a very powerful backlash in Pakistan — among the public for one, who think the United States is dictating, and among the government.'
Nawaz says every condition in the bill is so specific, it almost precludes discussion. He points to terrorism: 'Pakistan has to certify that there is no activity taking place against India.' Nawaz says even if Pakistan were to certify that, 'does it actually have enough control to prevent another Mumbai type of attacks?'"
IS Obama is trying to get the Pakistan government to fail?
If they do, terrorists become a superpower overnight.
