Pentagon Seeks 3 Billion In Aid For Pakistan Military

The Obama administration plans to seek as much as $3 billion over the next five years to train and equip Pakistan’s military, and is considering sending 10,000 more troops to battle the Taliban in Afghanistan, defense officials said Wednesday.

The money would include $500 million in an additional war budget request for the coming year that will go to Congress this month.

Turn over this man....



and we, the American people will be happy to write the check.

It never ends. Not so very long ago we did essentially the same thing for the Afghan freedom fighters (now formally known as al Qaeda)in order to force the evil USSR empire to halt their illegal war on Afghani sovereign soil!

Disgusting.

Which means we made the man pictured here what he is today in exactly this same manner. Here's the real catch, he clearly stated all along that he would happily accept our money, training and support but that we were indeed, next on his hit list.

The essential formula as the same for Saddam! Set them up then later turn them into an evil poster child.

We even gave him the nod to enter Kuwait in the first place saying we had no official position on matters between their nations. Yes he actually asked us if we'd take military action against him before he did it and we said no.

Is it any wonder we're seen as the great Satan by these people?

Why are these manipulations so obvious to everyone but the average US citizen?

I know Joe...we are next on his hit list. Yeah, you make several excellent points.

Do you see this turning out like Afghanistan and Iraq? Can we afford for it too?

I need to tell you something I learned in an interview. I will contact you on FaceBook......

Taking the economy and fact that we're clearly borrowing ever increasing amounts of money from Communist China into account I'd have to asy we clearly cannot afford anything at this point.

Looks to me as if we're being used as nothing more than hired guns.
