The United States helps Pakistan too?

In the wake of the operation carried out by the United States who killed Osama bin Laden, billions of dollars of taxpayers Americans in Pakistan are in danger that relations between the two countries produce sour.

Pakistan comes under fire for not being able to locate bin Laden, who, instead of hiding in the caves remote tribal areas Northwest conceived originally, was in fact live in an easy district in Abbottabadright near the Pakistan Military Academy.

U.S. administration officials say that they did not inform their Pakistani counterparts of the operation to hunt down and kill the bin Ladens until it has all the but, in fear that information may be disclosed in the wrong hands.

Pakistan responded by calling for American military personnel of the country to be cut to "minimum essential" levels, according to various reports.

Now, a chorus of lawmakers on Capitol Hill, call for the administration to reassess the billions of dollars in aid it provides to Pakistan, as they say how unnecessary that the Pakistani Government has been.

Between 2002 and 2010, the United States gave aid related to safety in Pakistan $ 13.3 billion and 6 billion in economic assistance. More than 3 billion was requested for 2011.

For the year of 2012, the administration of the Obama requested approximately $ 3 billion in aid for Pakistan abroad and $ 2.3 billion more to help efforts to combat terrorism in the country.

Pakistan began to receive substantial assistance to the United States in the 1980s, during the cold war, when the Soviet Union invaded the Afghanistan. It increased again after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 and the American attack on the Taliban regime.

The money was not always received with good, however. A package to help non-military of 2009 which would give the Pakistan $ 1.5 billion per year for five years came under criticism in Pakistan, not only for the strings that were attached to it, but due to the increased attacks by drone by the United States in the country's tribal areas.

Relations U.S. - Pakistan have become increasingly unstable in recent years in questions about where the money goes and if Pakistan cooperates as it should. But experts say that the relationship this week is probably the worst since September 11, 2001.

Now, the death of Osama bin Laden has provoked a debate if Capitol Hill the United States can and should continue funding.

Many top lawmakers in Congress expressed their doubts about what - if anything - Pakistani officials knew about the presence of Osama bin Laden. In these two days, CIA Chief Leon Panetta said two members of the Congress of the flashes classified that Pakistan was "well informed or incompetent," according to the lawmakers who attended unexpected sessions.

"From a point of view of intelligence, we would like to know why this has not been discovered by the Pakistani authorities, more", said Senator Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

A Senator - New Jersey Democrat Frank Lautenberg - went to say that aid us in Pakistan should be suspended until the Congress receives answers about how bin Laden went undetected by the authorities.

But the cut financial aid to Pakistan would come do not without serious risks. Experts say it could have serious consequences for the safety of the United States and the threat of terror.

"I think at the moment there is still a fairly high level of co-dependency between the United States and Pakistan," said Shuja Nawaz, Director of the Centre of South Asia to the Atlantic Council, who testified on Capitol Hill Tuesday. Rupture of relations "has consequences very serious, not only for the bilateral relationship, but for what is happening in the region."

"A sudden imposition of sanctions or a breakdown in the relationship will be very serious and lasting consequences", he said. "It will also feed the narrative of some extremist groups in Pakistan and perhaps even among moderates, and that the United States are in this for the short term.".

Several U.S. lawmakers expressed concerns similar, and being warned against any action until the issue of the residence of Osama bin Laden became more clear.
