WASHINGTON – The United States will provide Pakistan with more military, intelligence and economic aid, even though some officials feel it is not doing enough to combat militants, The Washington Post reported late on Friday.
The newspaper said Vice President Joseph Biden would take that message to Pakistan when he visits next week. According to The Post, Biden will challenge army chief General Ashfaq Kayani and other Pakistani officials to articulate their long-term strategy for the region.
He will want them to indicate exactly what assistance is needed for them to move against Taliban sanctuaries in areas bordering Afghanistan.But US President Barack Obama and his top national security aides have rejected proposals to let US ground forces conduct ground raids.
