#1 In some ways, it's like being decorated with a Red Star of Lenin by the Soviets.

#4 Pakistan gave the same Hilal(cresent)-i-Pakistan award to the Chinese ambassador, but it didn't do them much good as there was no cash coughed up. Guess they weren't as impressed by gaudy baubles as Joe is.

#5 USD 15 billion over next five fiscal years besides advocating an additional USD 7.5 billion over the subsequent five years.

So Biden proposes US aid pay for the entire defence budget of Pakistan ($4.4B in 2008). Is Pakistan covered under TARP (vast sums spent w/ no oversight or expectations of results).

#15 I was going to ask if we have to give Zardari the Presidential Medal of Freedom now, but I looked up who has gotten them during Bush's administration and there are a few that leave me depressed. For instance, in 2004:
Doris Day (actress and singer)
Estee Lauder (entrepreneur)
Rita Moreno (actress, dancer and singer)
Arnold Palmer (professional golfer)
