[quote]He accepted that Pakistan had been "a major enemy in the fight on terrorism. They've been the masterminds of enormous amounts of terrorism".[/quote] Fixed.
finally someone put their foot down.
[QUOTE=aydin690;31032949]Good job america but you're still giving away ~5billion a year to israel.[/QUOTE] Not a terrorist state. They're surrounded by the same people the average forumer on here claims is the problem with Pakistan. And we can't exactly afford to burn allies in a climate where we've already royally pissed off everyone and gone to the trouble of nationbuilding in a powder keg-corner of the world without regard for consequences...
[QUOTE=Ignhelper;31027478]Finally. All Pakistan did was not give a shit about terrorist living in their country.[/QUOTE] And punish anyone that helped get Bin Laden, and complained about it. The entire world is better off without that asshole and Pakistan is acting like he was their BFFE

[QUOTE=Destroyertf;31027570]Good. I hope they send it to NASA instead.[/QUOTE] Probably going to Israel. [editline]11th July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Jenkem;31035888]Not a terrorist state.

[QUOTE=ironman17;31027712]Hopefully Pakistan can get by without that bit of dosh, we need to pour A LOT into space tech if we're gonna get back to the stars, colonise the nearby planets and mine the Belt. We require more minerals, to say the least, and it wouldn't hurt to put our eggs into multiple baskets.[/QUOTE] Humans don't lay eggs stupid
[QUOTE=ITokez;31051012]Humans don't lay eggs stupid[/QUOTE]wtf i thought everyone does, i do
What money will pakistan use now to keep their nuclear weapons safe? :suicide:
Some guy on CNN just said this wasn't exactly aid, it was more like paying the Pakistanis for operations they have already carried out that the US wanted them to do, so basically it's an even bigger kick in the balls.

Wait, that's insane. And they still don't deserve 5 billion, let alone anywhere near that much money.
I wish Obama would just say Fine. Piss off Pakistan, you deal with your own problems. We're taking our military presence and the money we give you every year elsewhere. I don't really think losing one base in Pakistan is going to terribly hurt the best logistical military in the world Obviously the world's most sought after criminal living next to a military academy, in a neighborhood out in the open, Pakistan punishing those who helped route out Bin Laden, and then Pakistan scolding America for getting him (Though this one is somewhat justifiable) means that Pakistan is no friend of ours, or the world, for that matter
