#1 What's the normal skim in Pakistan, 50%? More?

Now that the gig seems to finally be up with us (no more loot for Pervy without hardcore results in WoT), why would anyone but the Saudis "donate" money?

#2 Are they asking for a loan? Or do they want us to just hand over $25B? That's $25,000,000,000.00

How much did they spend on their nuclear program?

#3 Ask their sponsors the Chinese and the Saudis.

#4 Informed all donors I'm with OU5871. No way should a country with a nuclear program need DONORS. I wonder what they could seel the program and the nukes to India for. Anyone care to guess?

#6 I am amazed at the sense of entitlement, the sheer chutzpah of the Paks.

#7 When Pakistan can summon forth the energy to apprehend Osama bin Laden, maybe then they can come to us and talk about future energy needs. Until then, they can go piss up a rope.

#8 Between my heat, electric and gassing up 2 cars I figure I need about 75 grand for the next 10 years to meet my energy needs.
Who do I talk to about just giving it to me?

#9 You need to hide some Al Qaeda types in your basement.
Hand over one every few years and the money will flow...

#10 I'd buy their nukes and Dr. Khan for $25 billion. Otherwise, zip.

Allah says they're the masters of the world; they're not just Muslims, they're Muslims from the land of the pure.

#12 ... they're Muslims from the land of the pure.

Slight noun omission problem, as usual. Yes, they're from the "land of the pure", as in, "land of the pure assh0les."

#13 No assistance of any kind to non-democratic countries. Limited and accounted assistance for countries following approved and accountable steps towards democracy.

Enough of wasted and detrimental funding. Bugger off.

#14 Well said, TW2412.
