And Barack Obama is bent on giving Pakistan another 3 billion aid for 2010-2011, a combined a total of 20 billion since 2001.
Yeah, I actually have a big problem with that too. That story about the Pakistanis pissing away our huge donation of war money on kickbacks, bribes, and anti-Indian efforts made my blood boil. Particularly as during those early heady days of WoT, Musharraf's regime pissed and moaned they weren't getting the support they needed. I'd have to hear of some huge, meaningful breakthroughs and concessions wrt Pakistan to consider that anything but another costly mistake.
That's nearly the amount Israel received.
Ahhh, Israel getting competition over the American teat, and from Muslims no less - now I see your concern.
70% of the money given to Pakistan has been misspent or siphoned off.
That's true unfortunately. The corruption in Pakistan is unbelievable, makes Russia look tame by comparison. It's like the Cheney admin didn't even try to act concerned about what they were giving away. Not unlike the after party for Operation Iraqi Freedom. Pakistan has lost warfighters helping us, true enough, but that doesn't erase the feeling of having an ally fvck us like that. We shouldn't be discussing more payments of money, we should be discussing
our balance and how it will be worked off.
Obama is obviously pro-Muslim does not expect our Pakistani "ally" to do anything but be the war-mongering genocidal state that it is.
Yeah I know you guys are all upset he hasn't visited yet, and even worse, actually made overtures in good faith to Arab countries, but is it really lost upon you why someone seen as a mediator should at least try to look impartial? Good for Obama, this change in American behavior is long overdue. I couldn't care less if the Jewish American lobby wants to cry about it.
Where is the protest from the Left? Our relationship with these muslim trolls must end. Let them rot.
Don't worry about the left, concern yourself more with deciding if you are an American or Likud party spokesman.
