We are paying Pakistan $1,000,000,000.00 per year....

[wildbilln864]

to locate OBL! I can't fucking believe it! I just saw it on Countdown!
A billion fucking taxpayer's dollars. Your dollars!

[lvx35]

1. Well think about Iraq!

what is it 500 billion spent now in 5 years? 100 times what's being spent to find OBL in Pakistan, and far more worthless!

[wildbilln864]

4. Yes you're 100% right about that...

The idea that we pay them so much for nothing just surprised me. :shrug:
It boggles my mind what we're allowing to happen.

[azurnoir]

2. So what do they get if they find him?

Or does Bub'ya really not want him found that badly?

[MADem]

3. Well...DUH. Ole Pervez went from the General Monkey did not know to the guy with his hand out.

It's more than a billion, though. WAY more, when you add up all the FMS and concessions.

The big question? Fer WHAT?

[Robbien]

5. Why else do you think they keep killing the number two guy?

They get nice bonuses every time they kill him.

[Disturbed]

7. It is actually payment to keep the Dictator in power.

He pays his Military well to protect him against the people.

[JCMach1]

9. The military is the only thing that functions well in Pakistan

[Erika]

6. This is truly sick, beyond belief

You would think we have an absolute idiot as CIC, but he pays his buds well.

[rasputin1952]

8. That amount of cash ensures bin-Laden will never be found...

what the administration has done is set up a welfare state. What is the incentive to find him? Pakistan would lose out on a steady influx of a billion year.

Truly incompetent...thinking that money alone would bring this turd to justice...x(
