My proposal: Pay off the politicians so they get the fuc& out of the way and let us take care of things.

#6  I'm so sick of reading articles where we are giving the stain more money. We have ppl in the US that could use the money but you have too pull a tooth too get it, yet they pretty much flaunt it in our face that they are against us and we continue too pay.Pull out of the whole region and let them starve too death.

#5  The $2 billion package is on top of billions of dollars the United States already gives Pakistan in military aid and a $7.5 billion aid package over five years...

Key words: on top of billions
What the total?

#3  View it as a 'rent payment' on that lovely vacant lot if you will. Unfortunately, the much larger and more threatening unpaid regional landlord is Iran. US foreign policy and wartime strategy based on the Chicago Ward Boss model.

#2  Isn't going to work.

Imagine Pakistan is like a really huge West Virginia with various "good old boys" who really run things in the "hollers". Now some politician is going to collect a really nice bribe, and he might even go out and have a word with those boys but in the end, those folks up in those hills run their own show.

We are pi$$ing more cash down the toilet.
