Your tax dollars at work under George W. Bush

Follow the taxpayer dollars:

1. US gives Pakistan $11 billion to Pakistan since 2001, you know, to fight terrorism and catch bin Laden and whatnot. Heckuva job, Pakistan.

2. “U.S. intelligence officials have concluded that elements of Pakistan’s military intelligence service provided logistical support to militants who staged last month’s deadly car bombing at the Indian Embassy in Afghanistan’s capital, U.S. officials familiar with the evidence said yesterday.”

3. Meanwhile, Pakistan is still sheltering the Taliban, al Qaeda leaders, and most likely Osama bin Laden himself.

Summary:

So we spend billions to stay in Afghanistan and billions to Pakistan to allegedly help us in the effort against terrorist groups. Which Pakistan then spends to help with terrorist attack in Pakistan [Afghanistan...bloggers type fast - Ed.] working with Taliban & Al Qaeda leadership which operate out of their country.

Sounds like the kind of plan that could be put together only with the indirect assistance of the Bush Administration and endorsed by John McCain.

John McCain, I might add, stated on Larry King that he would NOT go into Pakistan unilaterally if we had intelligence on bin Laden’s location and Pakistan was uncooperative, because John McCain is somehow concerned with Pakistani sovereignty. Two things to remember:

1. This is the opposite of current Bush administration policy (*cough* on paper), and it’s also the opposite of Barack Obama’s Pakistan policy, which he took all kinds of shit for last year. Who’s naive now, Walnuts!!? Obama’s all about appropriate diplomacy, but he’s no dove.

2. Since fucking when is John McCain concerned about any other nation’s goddamned sovereignty?
