Panetta: Pakistan Is Uncooperative

It’s no secret that the U.S.’s relationship with Pakistan has been in free fall for some time now. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta gave a glimpse of how bad things have gotten when he testified at a Senate budget hearing on Wednesday. Panetta told the panel that Pakistan’s refusal to reopen supply routes to Afghanistan is costing the U.S. $100 million a month. Asked if America should cut off aid to its nominal ally, Panetta urged Capitol Hill to be careful about “just shutting it down.”
