Eh? Do not understand your question. (All I'm suggesting is that Pakistan has NOT exactly been a good 'ally' by any stretch of the imagination --- backing, supporting, building the Taliban, paying money DIRECTLY to Mohammed Atta the week before the 9-11 attack, providing safe harbor for al Qaeda and Taliban leaders in Pakistan, refusing to allow US troops or even Intelligence agents access to Pak territory, supporting fundamentalist Whabbist extremist schools throughout their lands... and that maybe, just maybe, it's a BAD IDEA to sell them high tech weaponry that could be used against us.) At the very least the proposed weapon sale should have a full vetting before the appropriate Congressional committees... and not be sneaked through, like a thief in the night, during the period of Congressional recess.
