The US accuses her trustworthy ally Pakistan to have modified Harpoon missiles sold to Pakistan for naval defence in the 80s, into missiles capable to strike land targets in India.

Well, what do you expect if you sell weapons to such a trustworthy country like pakistan...? :stare:
You could as well sell conventional missiles to North Korea - and then claim to be surprised when they make a Mach-5-return-to-sender with a nuclear device on them.
expectations that you can order a customer how to use the weapons you sell to him, and when not to use them, is as absurd as the German government being "surprised" to learn that their demand that German tanks and IFVs delivered to Turkey should not be used against the Kurds, has not been met by the Turkish government. Of course it turned out that they used weapons they got from Germany against the Kurds - from the trooper's assault rifle up to IFVs and tanks.
Congress is asked to approve another 7.5 billion dollars in aid for Pakistan. america has not learned anything, regarding Pakistan. It still pays for getting betrayed. Good ammounts of money payed in past years has ended up to pay for weapons that ISI-supported Taliban now fire at US troops. Go ahead, pay them more. They enjoy to play the victim - while stabbing you from behind.
Dear West, dear US: learn the lesson fast, and learn it well: Pakistan is not our ally, and it nevers has been. It is the enemy. The major part of it'S military leadership as well as the majority of it'S intel community must be seen as hostiles.
P.S. in this context: the commanding general of Us forces in Afghanistan declares US strategy as a failure and compares the US war to a bull charging for the matador, collecting cuts each time it does:

The consequences and changes that he suggests, may be okay. But they must be accompanied by striking much harder at support for the Taliban in Pakistan, and starting to kill (either by strikes or assassination) commanding figures in the Pakistani intel and military hierarchy who are collaborating with the Taliban and supporting them. It goes without saying that all further payments to Pakistan mujst be stopped. You could as well deliver weapons and ammunition to the Taliban, or order the US Navy to start shelling India.
