#4 Well Frank , actually , they still *need* our cash , our UAVs , our intel , our airforce , ground troops , cov-ops and some more of our cash and lest we forget the cash .

A joint Italian / Pak business plan is sure to cut a few corners . Mazetta de baksheesh !

#5 Get with the program.

If Pakistan has ~~rc model planes~~ drones, the State Department can send a notification to Congress that the sale of Predator drones to Pakistan (a) does not materially affect the military balance on the Indian subcontinent (b) contributes to peace since such drones will not be used against India

The Pakistanis believe if they beg for long enough, some of their buddies in the SD will push this through.
