#2 Let me get this straight. We're supposed to shell out additional hundreds of millions of dollars to a country that diverted unknown billions of dollars into a needless and now well-proliferated nuclear weapons program, instead of civil code enforcement or national disaster preparedness?

They can crawl up my @ss for a single red cent.

#3 Fox News this morning reported the UN Aid helicopters are grounded due to lack of money. I agree with Zenster, we don't need to give them one more penny.

#5 Pakistan is buying AWACS aircraft from Sweden - cost 1 billion dollars.

They're buying 80 F-16 fighters .. cost 3 billion dollars.

This is in addition to a military budget that consumes the lion's share of government resources (more than fifty percent of overall budget).

There is no need for aid. There is a need for reality in Pakistan.
