My Comment: The arrogance from Pakistan is unbelievable .... the Pakistani Generals want to spend the money as how they see fit .... not to assist the U.S. in our mutual war against the Taliban. but should we be surprised .... of course not. You just know that they want to pocket the money for themselves .... screw their public pronouncements that it is to be used in the fight against the Taliban.
Sighhh .... Pakistani corruption is unbelievable, and it is sickening to see that we are getting ourselves even more involved in this mess.
