As the national debt tops $17 trillion — thanks to the newly sealed debt-ceiling agreement — America’s costly foreign aid tab is back in the crosshairs.
The federal government in fiscal 2012 spent about $21 billion on non-military foreign assistance and was on track to spend roughly the same in 2013, according to federal records. As Washington enters the new fiscal year, another huge chunk of aid is being released — the Associated Press reported over the weekend that the U.S. is planning to free up more than $1.6 billion in aid to Pakistan following a lengthy hiatus.
“Non military foreign assistance”. Are they fuckin’ kidding? There’s no way in hell that money won’t be used to prop up the Pakistani military, which incidentally, is infected with scores of Taliban.
……The aid had been on ice after a major breakdown in U.S.-Pakistan relations. Pakistan lashed out at the U.S. over the 2011 raid on Usama bin Laden’s compound. U.S. lawmakers were similarly outraged after Pakistan imprisoned a doctor alleged to have helped the CIA in tracking bin Laden.
……But after a long pause, and an election in Pakistan, both sides are trying to rebuild their relationship.
Newly elected Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif arrived in the U.S. on Sunday, for the first visit by a Pakistani head of state since 2008, and met with Secretary of State John Kerry. In a statement, the State Department said they “continued the robust dialogue on our shared goal of a stable, secure and prosperous Pakistan.” The statement stressed the importance of “continued counterterrorism cooperation.”
Pakistan is not an ally; it has never been cooperative in the war against Islamic terrorists. The Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) has Taliban moles on its payroll, and cells run back across the Afghan border after re-grouping, thanks to the Pakistan regime. Terrorist groups operate carte blanche in Pakistan; abetted by a large portion of the Pakistani government.
Pakistan harbored Bin Laden and knew where he was holed up. He hid in a compound in Abbottabad, built, funded, maintained and secured by the Pakistani government. They harbored him for years.
Obama’s dicked-up foreign policy involves aid to Hamas, the PLO, and the Muslim Brotherhood thugs in Egypt.
How fucking depraved do you have to be to think that arming America’s enemies is a good thing?
