Bush asks US Congress for $60 million for Pakistan's tribal areas
2007-10-23
$60 million will buy a lot of asphalt, but I don't think it'll be enough to pave the entire area.

#15  After you've been hanging around here a while you begin to understand Joe's posts...or, at least some of them.


Or he could get off his lazy ass and post like the rest of us do. Sorry, I've been coming here since 2002 or 2003 and I really enjoy the 'Burg, but Joe's *gibberish* is usually found in every thread. It pisses me off to have to scroll past one or more of his crappy attempts. Wake up Joe--if you can read, you post correctly!

#14  It's a link, Crusader. After you've been hanging around here a while you begin to understand Joe's posts...or, at least some of them.

Hey, Joe, here's how you do it - The Next Five States.

#12  Ok, "good money," your mission as soon as you arrive in Pakland is to link up with all the money that has already been sent, ie, "bad money" and follow it. It's an easy mission, we are confident you will succeed.

Snark of the day, Besoeker. And so sad but true.

WTF does that mean? Geez, for somebody who reads as much as Joseph, he sure is damn lazy about what he writes.

#9  Enough of flushing taxpayer money down the Islamic toilet known as Pakistan. We are long overdue to begin our own operations in the frontier areas with, or without, Musharref's permission. Pakistan must be our final lesson in the reliability of Muslim "allies". The farce is over.

#5  Wouldn't glass be cheaper, easier and faster than asphalt?

Don't need to blacktop the entire area. Can't park on inclines greater than a certain degree. Obviously, terracing is not included in the package. Just do the arable land which should remove the incentive for nearly everyone to stay other than smugglers and other potential landscape enrichers.
