The aid is hardly enough. Many contries have promised aid. They include the UAE (have already sent a 350MW power plant), SA and China. Apparently recently it was discovered we have 20trillion dollars (yes $20,000,000,000!!!) worth of coal. About 190million tons. That's a heck of a lot of money!

Apparently traitor Zardari was going to sell the reserves in Sindh (185million tons) to an Indian company. The height of Irony! Why are we still living in poverty. Fucking useless government. I bet anyone would rather live in Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia than the current day "democratic" Pakistan. Sometimes I envy Zimbabwe.

I knew of advisors on the ground, but not combat aircraft, personell.

Now that India gets weapons and economic deals from everyone around the world there is no reason to support Pakistan.

We prop up the government that is friendly behind closed doors to us. It can easily fall into radical Islamic control, which would not be good seeing as how they are nuclear armed.

I am confident we have an emergency plan to sieze all nuclear weapons if the country were to ever fall into chaos, however. That is obviously something we dont want to count on though.

There are too many and they are too well guarded

That is what they tell you. They also tell you that they are against the US Strikes, yet they fully support/base them.

The beloved patriot civilians are the puppets, not the beloved patriot government. They are acting out of self-interest (money and power), the average beloved patriot is acting out of pure ignorance.

Feinstein should be kicked from any intelligence committees, and STFU.

This isn't rocket science. What she says as an representative of the government matters. Pakistan has in it's government and bureaucracy those who are pro Taliban. It isn't any easier for the new President to deal with them than the Separatists were immediately before the Civil War in the US. A delicate balance of power calls for discretion, and Feinstein is either a consummate idiot or fool for bringing this up. She puts people who do support us in an extremely awkward position.

She needs to go if she's either so self centered or such a great fool.

She is a DINO, basically a liberal Republican. Check her voting record. She has moved steadily to the right since elected. She is way to the right of most Democrats.
Sorry, you can't disown her, and we don't want her.
