#1 Practically speaking, I'm not sure you could shore up Pakistan if you put cinder blocks under the corners.

#2 Qid, Pro, Quo, if you ask me! The thanks, for the US looking the other way as the Chicoms mash the necks in on the Tibetans.Not surprised when "W" accepts the blood stained cash; he'll probable be sitting in the front row seats at the Olympic Games opening, with the Chairman! God, I hope they're not holding hands such as with the Saudis! We're all going to be stomping in US rice patties in the future!!

#6 smn, AKA dumbass, the US isn't accepting the money. The "US" is a reference to how to measure the figure. How you got W and the Tibetans in is a measure of your intelligence. Try reading the article, it helps
