Deal would have sent $699 million to Lockheed-Martin for up to eight aircraft and equipment. Congress pressed the State Department, which told Pakistan to “put forward national funds.” Guess – State or DOD will find $699 million in some other fund, and Pakistan, as well as Lockheed-Martin, will be mollified.
A State Department spokesman said “effective engagement with Pakistan was ‘critical’ to promoting democracy and economic stability in the country.” Sarcastic laughter was heard seeping up from other parts of Foggy Bottom.
