SOME ALLY…
hides Osama Bin Laden,
arrests US informants,
tips off Taliban bomb factories,
lets Chinese troops into Kashmir,
disrupts supplies for Afghanistan more than once,
and provides base for Mumbai massacre.
All this for $7,500,000,000 a year. Worth every penny, I’m sure.

Yes – Pakistan has not been an ally since the 1960s.
Since then socialist governments (such as the demented on that closed down all mssion schools in the early 1970s – on the grounds they were Christian, thus opening the door to the Islamists) and Islamized military governments (an Islamist government being a very different thing from a governmetn that happens to be made of Muslims – as was the case in the 1950s and 1960s) have held power. The “People’s Party” is, and always has been, a shower of…..
True the Muslim League has its moderate wing (including the former Prime Minister) – but it has to bow to the Islamists (or their votes and money will go elsewhere) in spite of the fact that the Islamist have planted bombs that have killed thousands of Pakistanis over the years (“oh you like to murder us – well everyone has to have a hobby, keep the donations comming….”), and the ISI (military intelligence) holds real power – and they are dominated by Islamists and paid agents of China.
The situation in Pakistan is without real hope – the West should cut our loses and pull out.
Watching Pakistan fight AQ and the Taliban is like watching a man leg-wrestle with his own other leg.
