So far, Pakistan has received more than $5.6 billion under the programme over five years, more than half of the total aid the United States has sent to the country since the Sep 11, 2001, attacks, not counting covert funds, the Times said.

What the hell. Who allows this BS!?

We've paid Pakistan $10 billion+ over 6 years to do something they ought be doing in the first place.

I want to start getting a little pamphlet in the mail once a year that asks me what priorities I want my tax dollars put toward over the next year.

How much longer will the American people put up with a government more than willing to buy out the entire world when the entire world couldn't give a flying monkey !@#$ if something happened to us? See tagline.

It seems you know very little about the Pak border regions - The Pak Gov't can't control them, they can't even begin to control them without the needed equipment and funding from us.

The $5.6 billion we have spent on the whole has been a bargain for us.....The Musharaff Gov't has done about as decent a job as can be expected (on the total)....

Bottom line is where UBL and Zawahiri (AQ) have eked out their survival is in a sh*t part of the world and an even sh*tter area to operate in or to bring progress to....(and they know it and choose this area because of such)

Do we need the Pak Gov't to do more? Yes (where they can). But cutting the funding they need to even be adequate at the jobs we need them to do....would serve no benefit to us (in the big picture)..
