FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The move comes at a particularly tense time in the troubled relationship with
the US and Pakistan. Pakistan’s parliament is currently debating a revised
framework for relations with the US in the wake of American airstrikes that
killed 24 Pakistani soldiers in November at two posts along the Afghan
border.
Pakistan retaliated by kicking the US out of a base used by American drones
and closing its border crossings to supplies meant for Nato troops in
Afghanistan.
The US hopes the parliamentary debate will result in Pakistan reopening the
supply lines. The closure has been a headache for the US because it has had
to spend more money sending supplies through an alternate route that runs
through Central Asia. It also needs the route to withdraw equipment as it
seeks to pull most of its combat forces out of Afghanistan by the end of
2014.
But it’s unclear whether the US will be willing to meet Pakistan’s demands,
which include higher transit fees for the supplies and an unconditional
apology for the airstrikes, which the US has said were an accident. Pakistan
has also demanded an end to American drone strikes in Pakistan, but it’s
unclear if that will be tied to the reopening of the supply line.
