Why Does Current Administration Finance Weapons Against India?

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — After the United States has spent more than $5 billion in a largely failed effort to bolster the Pakistani military effort against Al Qaeda and the Taliban, some American officials now acknowledge that there were too few controls over the money. The strategy to improve the Pakistani military, they said, needs to be completely revamped. In interviews in Islamabad and Washington, Bush administration and military officials said they believed that much of the American money was not making its way to frontline Pakistani units. Money has been diverted to help finance weapons systems designed to counter India, not Al Qaeda or the Taliban, the officials said, adding that the United States has paid tens of millions of dollars in inflated Pakistani reimbursement claims for fuel, ammunition and other costs. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/24/world/asia/24military.html?pagewanted=print If we suspect it, verify it, and continue to do it - it must be a duck. Yes -1. Should we not take steps to correct this? Should ther not be an outpouring of cries from the clean and unclean for justice? Shouldn't we stop p@issing our money away and do what bush proclaimed right after 9/11 that had the whole country & world behind him - go get those dirty terrorists reponsible for 9/11 wherever they are and no country shall get in our way? And then we became distracted bringing about disaffection.

1. Bush has nukes for anybody who is against him. Are you?
2. Bush logic
3. You answered your own question. We wanted Pakistan stronger in order to fight terrorists in their western provinces, and they misdirected the money for use against India. Any more questions?
