....the back story is Obama is pouring billions into Pakistan's corrupt leadership (Pres Zardari's nickname is Mr. 10%) in return for info on the bad guys. Bush would never have been able to get away with this type of bribery,...

Is there anyway to get proof of this? How do you know this back story, so to speak (write :^)

If uhbama is doing this, IT IS A BIG STORY that NEEDS to be EXPOSED. After all, it is OUR MONEY .

Here is a little info on the law passed and signed by Obama. Ask yourself what we have bought in the last two years with the couple billion we have sent them?
“Funds would be used for projects that promote democratic governance and private sector growth, and for education, construction of physical infrastructures, and other programs intended to benefit the people of Pakistan”.
The easiest way to steal cash is by skimming money used for such nebulous things. ACORN has perfected the art. Saddam and the UN oil for food program is another good example.

I do not see a huge number of new schools being built with american cash, and if they are being built, you can bet the Paki political class is skimming huge amounts into their swiss bank accoutns.

In year 2006 midterm elections the political fortunes of President Bush and the Republican party declined. The Democratic Party which historically has been less sympathetic to Pakistan sought to change the terms and nature of American aid to Pakistan. Vice President Joe Biden, then Chairman of Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in cooperation with Republican Senator Richard Lugar introduced a bipartisan bill called ‘Enhanced Partnership with Pakistan Act of 2008.’ After the 2008 elections, when Biden left the Senate, the mantle was picked up by the incoming new Chairman, Senator John Kerry, another stalwart of the Democratic party. The bill, numbered S. 3263 offers Pakistan one and half billion dollars annually for the next five years in economic aid. Only this time with strong strings attached.

The bill, in bureaucratic jargon referred as ‘non-security assistance to Pakistan’, contains two very important clauses. One that:

“Funds would be used for projects that promote democratic governance and private sector growth, and for education, construction of physical infrastructures, and other programs intended to benefit the people of Pakistan”.

In other words, the funds could only be used for the ‘projects’ that government of the United States of America considers will directly benefit civil life of the common man and in the process hopefully will lure him or her away from the current feelings of anti-Americanism and religious extremism. It is another component of American ‘war on terror’ designed to win the hearts and minds of Pakistani masses. As an extra measure the American administration will be required to prepare annual reports that such ‘projects’ are being implemented as intended. The total amount of 7.5 billion dollars even though appropriated in equal annual installments over the five year period between 2009 and 2013 will be outlaid on a graduated scale stretched over ten years ending in year 2018.

Well .. at the rate Obama is bribing congress people to vote for his garbage legislation .. this bribing of Pakistan would not suprise me.

And .. it makes me wonder if that’s what the “stimulus” money was for .. a slush box for Obama to use to bribe people .. foreign governments ....... because I always wondered why Pakistan suddenly began to help us clean out the AQ militants.

This is interesting info .. and if it’s true .. I hope it can be exposed.
