#8 On 9-11 Pakistan was under US sanctions for their violation of nuclear proliferation standards. After that date, the President chose Pakistan as America's number one ally in the GWOT, and after lifting sanctions has delivered over $12,000,000,000 in military aid to the Islamofascist entity (other bilateral aid not included). You get what you pay for.

Dunno much about Bhutto's policies or problems, #9 Ice, but that alone is worth supporting her to the max. ;-p

john,

My question...

How the hell did our Nation, Security Apparat, our State Dept. and the GWB Admin ever arrive at a place and time where we felt forced to embrace this bunch of Talib Supportin and Osama Coddling Bunch of Pirates?

RE: Gen (retd) Mohammad Aziz Khan

Brig Ijaz Shah, and a very deep bench of Army Generals retd and active, including Perv...
****

Is this simple stock answer correct:

Pakistan IS an Army of Talib Supportin and Osama Coddling Bunch of Butt Pirates with Nukes, ergo "we felt" [through fuzzy logic?] it was wiser to "hold 'em close" than to lose whatever influence we had over Radical Pakistan by embargoing the Army/Pakistan.

Additionally we already had a ongoing connection, an historical connection of support going back to the containment days of yore [USSR].

Every country has an army, Pakistan Army has a country Anonymous

A SOBERING LIST..
**

What Pakistan needs at this critical hour in its history is a leader, who is widely perceived as independent and not an American stooge. Neither Musharraf nor Mrs. Benazir is such a leader. Mr. Nawaz Sharif, if he is able to come back to power, could turn out to be such a leader. He has maintained a distance from the US. He does not fawn on the US like Mrs. Benazir does. Pakistan needs Mr. Nawaz Sharif more than it needs Musharraf or Benazir. --- B .RAMAN
