Napoleon, are you ever going to ask for clarification?  If not, we should move ahead to a final vote, I think.

Do you mind detailing the reason for restrictions?

Are there particularly countries you want me to detail?

Criteria seems to be very random here. I'd like SoFE to tell us more about his criteria.

For example, Pakistan as an "important ally" is grossly overrated and it's human rights record is far worse than UAE, which is one of the best Arab countries to live in.  

Pakistan doesn't do their job as "ally in war on terror". A freaking Bin Laden was hiding there for years and I won't believe that at least some elements within Pakistani army/intelligence and, yes, government, didn't know.

I frankly wavered on Pakistan.  My optimism overrode me in the end.  If a Senator would be willing to add partial military restrictions, I'd be all for it.

I would rather we not, as their record on human rights is still quite poor.  I am not passionate about it, however, and would not object should such an Amendment pass.

This has enough votes to pass. Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.
