2009-04-17
[Geo News] PakistanŽŽs allies and aid donors are expected to promise about 4 billion dollars in tomorrow's donors' conference but will also try to spur it to more urgent action against an increasingly formidable insurgency. Japan's share in the total aid would be 1 billion dollars According to an official of Japan foreign office, Japan's target would be to collect 4 billion dollars for Pakistan which would be provided to it over the next two years. Japanese media says Japanese government would pledge 1 billion dollar to Pakistan for war against terrorism and its economic stability. Cash-strapped Pakistan will outline its medium-term strategies to fight the insurgency and revive its economy at a Friends of Pakistan group meeting in Tokyo on Friday morning. In the afternoon, those friends, who include the United States, Japan, China and Saudi Arabia, will join other donors to promise aid for the next two years.

#3  I've said it before: give 'em a billion dollars for each nuke they hand over to us. If they don't wanna do that then leave 'em to the tender mercies of the Taliban because they've shown no inclination to fight the Taliban whether we give 'em money or not.
