Washington, Nov 5 : Chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Democratic Presidential hopeful, Joseph Biden has called for reviewing the aid and financial package given to Pakistan in the wake of imposition of emergency there by President General Pervez Musharraf.

In an interview to CBS' 'Face the Nation' programme, Biden said that after the Saturday's development in Islamabad, the US should also consider taking away the F-16 fighter jets and other military equipment from Pakistan, if Musharraf does not withdraw the emergency.

"And I would be making the point to him (Musharraf) that to the extent that he has control of the military now, it's questionable whether or not if we start to take away other things that they're very concerned about -- F-16s and P-3s there," Biden said.

The Senator justified his demand for taking back F-16s and P-3s from Pakistan since these aircraft "are designed not to deal with the Taliban or al Qaeda," but are for Islamabad's security vis-à-vis from India.

"Taking them away may not have that kind of overwhelming support from his own military," the Dawn quoted Biden, as saying.

He said that the first thing he would do on Monday would be a telephone call to Musharraf threatening him of "paying a price, if he does not rectify what he has just done."

He described President Musharraf's appeal to the American people to understand his position as "pretty blatant," indicating that it did not impress him.

The Delaware Democrat came down heavily on the Bush administration saying the White House does not have "any notion of what they're going to do right now."

Expressing his fear that a "total degeneration of that country," may allow the extremists to take control of the government and of Pakistan's nuclear weapons, Biden said: "And who knows what will come out of the military as well if this thing gets really out of hand?" (ANI)
