ISLAMABAD (AP) — U.S. Sen. John Kerry says he and Pakistani leaders have agreed on a "series of steps" to improve their nations' fraying ties.

The senator did not specify what those steps are but he says they will "be implemented immediately in order to get this relationship back on track."

Kerry was in Pakistan on Monday amid high tensions over the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden in the South Asian country's northwest.

Pakistan says the raid violated its sovereignty.

Kerry insists the secrecy surrounding the May 2 raid on bin Laden was crucial to assuring its success, and that he himself did not learn of it until afterward.

I assume this means the democrats are ready to send Pakistan another couple of billion of our tax dollars. That seems to be the US official response to foreign relations, send taxpayers dollars. If you don't support sending money to every foreign nation with a hand-out you're then labeled a "protectionist". Dr. Ron Paul, congressman from Texas running for president, has been labeled a protectionist for opposing sending money to Israel, a no-no with the jewish controlled American media.
