Two US lawmakers have introduced a bipartisan bill in Congress, seeking to revoke Pakistan's status as a Major Non-Nato Ally. The movers also argue that since Pakistan has failed to effectively fight terrorism, it no longer deserves US economic and military assistance. <br/><br/>The focus of the bill, however, is on revoking the MNNA status, which was granted to Pakistan in 2004 by then President George W. Bush to encourage Islamabad to help the United States fight Al Qaeda and the Taliban. If passed, the legislation will greatly hurt military to military relations between the two countries.<br/>Republican Congressman Ted Poe, who introduced the bipartisan bill with Congressman Rick Nolan, a Democrat, said Pakistan must be held accountable for the American blood on its hands. <br/><br/>Mr Poe, who is a member of the foreign affairs committee and serves as chairman of the subcommittee on terrorism, non-proliferation and trade, said that for years, Pakistan has acted as a Benedict Arnold ally of the United States. <br/><br/>He said, from harbouring Osama bin Laden to backing the Taliban, Pakistan has stubbornly refused to go after, in any meaningful way, terrorists that actively seek to harm opposing ideologies.
