do I really have to say it???
Gates is poised to play the “our relationship with Pakistan is complicated” card again, no doubt.
And money! Lots and lots of money!!! We don’t need it!!!
They’re our strong ally in the War on Terror! Have some more of my tax dollars, guys!
The answer is simple: no more aid to Pakistan.
“the Pakistanis say their troops cannot enter the lawless regions without giving the locals notice.”
Lawless regions. That’s the problem. And they will remain lawless until the Paks go in there and crush some nutz, establish a presence, and stay there. But they’re not really interested in doing that.
So, how many billion$ will the usurper be sending them this week?
Our Tax money at work.
Time to cut these bastards off from our tax dollars and let India know that we’ll gladly sell them whatever they ask.
do I really have to say it??? This is a joke!
It may come to the point where Pakistan denies Uncle Sam the use of its airspace for drone strikes. At that point we’ll have to ask ourselves - do we continue the airstrikes and risk shootdowns by the Pak air force. And when the first drone is swatted out of the sky, then the question is whether we begin leveling Pakistan Air Force installations together with their complement of interceptors. And what if the Taliban takes over in Pakistan while we are fighting Pakistani military units? Events in Pakistan are getting real messy.
This is what $3+/- billion a year gets you....an alleged “ally” that far more favors Islamic fundamentalists, terrorsts, and militants over us..... =.=
That’s the ticket!
Foolish to expect impervious cooperation from Pakistan. Deceitful for US foreign policy makers to suggest otherwise.
Nobody is afraid of Obama and nobody likes him, either.
