Washington (CNN) -- The United States is holding back $800 million in aid to Pakistan, President Barack Obama's chief of staff said Sunday.
Appearing on ABC's "This Week," White House Chief of Staff William Daley confirmed a report in the New York Times that the aid was being withheld.
While Pakistan has "been an important ally in the fight on terrorism," Daley said, "now they've taken some steps that have given us reason to pause on some of the aid which we're giving to the military, and we're trying to work through that."

We are not stopping all aid. Just military aid. All other financial aid we were giving them continues as planned. What a frigging joke.
So why in the world are we giving anyone aid when our country is getting ready to go bankrupt!? Who will come to our aid?
