PAKISTAN'S ACTIONS
(Mr. ROHRABACHER asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
[[Page H7170]]
Mr. ROHRABACHER. Mr. Speaker, we are in the process of deciding the
defense authorization legislation that will determine how much we spend
for our security. Yet, this bill, what we are talking about, includes
tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of dollars for Pakistan.
Pakistan is a country that represses its own people, the Baloch
people. We give Pakistan military assistance to fight radical Islam,
and they use that money to kill the people of Balochistan and their own
Sindhis population. They use that money to destabilize Afghanistan.
We all remember, of course, that this is the same country, Pakistan,
that provided safe haven for Obama bin Laden for years, and now, when
bin Laden was identified by Dr. Afridi, a courageous Pakistani, the
Pakistan Government has him in a dungeon and we are doing nothing to
help him.
Why are we acting so stupidly? The Pakistanis are even giving their
resources off to Communist China, the Port of Gwadar.
Pakistan is not our friend when they act like this. We need to put
our foot down and say: If you are going to act in a hostile way,
Pakistan, you are not going to receive 1 red cent of American tax
dollars.
