#1 President Asif Ali Zardari has said that the ~~Pakistani government~~ Good Ol' Boys running that patch of land cannot afford the ~~tough conditions~~ oversight linked to likely financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund because it would reduce their cut of the action.

Screw the little people.

#2 The IMF only have a $US250 billion fund.
But they've got all these moochers, Iceland, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia, Pakistan, Serbia, not to mention the permanent bums from Africa all with their mitts out.
The historical ~~sucker~~ sugar daddy, Uncle Sam, is flat on his back with his pockets hanging out, after going on a bender on the South Side.
His prognosis is not good unless he can get a money transfusion from good old Mr Hu when the auctions for bonds come up next year.
Yesterday Mr Hu lowered interest rates due to a slowing economy, so the IMF may have to wait a while for another hand out from the only one left with their head not under water.

#3 Zardari also stressed the need finding out who was funding the Taleban, saying he was not convinced that drug money could be the only source

Try the Saudi/Sharif/ISI connection!!!
