Heaven forbid a money-wasting Democrat gets elected.

'Cause that would be huge change from, oh wait . . .

Not surprised at all.

A picture of Pakistan President Musharraf siphoning American funds:

FTA Zardari claims the American aid may have gone to fund rogue members of the military intelligence, the ISI, who were last week accused by Washington of assisting Taliban and jihadi groups rather than rooting them out.

So we are knowingly, and willingly, giving money to a corrupt and barely friendly government which channels our money to our enemies. Indirectly, the US government is funding terrorism.

Also FTA: The rest has been taken by 'Mush' for some scheme or other and we've got to find it."

I laughed.

But there is absolutely no need to go into Pakistan, they are a trusted and loyal ally in the war on terror. We'll catch Osama Bin Laden without setting foot on Pakistani soil!

poopalacarte: A billion? We don't need that kind of money. Ship it off.

Meh. We've lost track of more money than that in Iraq.

I notice the Fark Independents/Republican WHARRGARBL bots don't have any talking points for this particular fark-up-of-the week. Groovy.

Exactly.

Let's not fret over chump change like one billion dollars... sheesh.


Actually this 1 billion is just the latest give away.

The total that we've given them is somewhere along the lines of 5.7 - 6 billion dollars, and still no Osama. Most of that money hasn't gotten anywhere near their military at all.

If Obama becomes president he'll give away more than that to our enemies.

Yes, yes it would be quite a change that would be very beneficial to America and her citizens.

At least that money did go to the good cause of setting up the current leadership for a total wipeout. They will all end up getting reincarnated as endangered butterflies or something equally lame and helpless.

why doesn't the US look for him itself? after all, we know he's somewhere along the Iraq/Pakistan border.

Heh.

When McCain said that, Iran had to consider that to be some kind of massive threat ... Which is hilarious.

I'm not convinced that OBL is:

a)Still alive or
b)in Pakistan

OBL's family is conected up the A$$ and has more than enough money to grease the right holes and could very well have him hidden away where he would never be found

just sayin

bin Laden is alive and well in a CIA bunker. He'll be trotted out and "found" late September.
McCain will "find" him under a pancake.

 
Hobodeluxe [TotalFark] 2008-08-09 11:01:17 PM  
pbbt he's a CIA asset still and this is his the way we pay him.
Just like Habbush,Chalabi,Allawi,Curveball,Hatfield and a lot more.

Quoth I.

If we really want them to hand over bin Laden, assuming he's even alive (which I doubt), we need to give them something they NEED. Like 25 ICBM's to deliver their crappy nukes.

You're wasting your money here so that you don't have to waste it there?

 
earth 2008-08-10 04:57:15 AM  
This is old news. They have been doing this since Afghanistan and we were funneling money through them for the rebels.
