ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN (BNO NEWS) -- Pakistani Minister for Finance and Economic Affairs, Abdul Hafeez Shaikh, on Monday announced that the United States granted $190 million in aid for the victims of last year's devastating floods, state-run media reported.

The announcement was made following a meeting between Pakistani officials and a U.S. delegation led by Thomas Nides, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources and Cameron Munter, the U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan.

"When terrible floods hit your nation last summer, the United States was the first country to provide aid," said Nides, as cited by APP. "Today, I am pleased to announce that we have fulfilled a commitment we made to the Pakistani people. We have transferred $190 million we pledged last year to the Citizen's Damage Compensation Program."

Including emergency visas totalling some 20,00 more trained Paki extremists. When will the media report this treason? Does anyone know how to contact Michelle Malkin?

In my lifetime, I have never seen a “President” give more of our money away to absolute hell-holes...especially when our own are hurting.

He really despises America and character-which has to do with how you are raised (IE-his past)-DOES matter.

FUBO...that’s all I can say to make me feel better if only for a few seconds...

I wonder how much will go to the flood victims and how much will be going to give weapons and training to terorrists?
