Remember the stink that Pakistan made over the bin Laden killing? Remember that Pakistan locked up the doctor who gave us information that led to that operation? Remember when the Pakistanis wanted us to end our drone program designed to kill terrorists? Well, that’s all past now. Apparently, things have improved so well that the Obama Administration decided to give them a billion and a half dollars to be our friends, according to a link sent to us by ROS from CNN<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The official told CNN foreign affairs reporter Elise Labott that the decision was made because of improved relations over the past year.<\/p>\n

Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who was elected in May, is scheduled to meet President Barack Obama at the White House on Wednesday. “The visit will highlight the importance and resilience of the U.S.-Pakistan relationship,” a White House statement said.<\/p>\n

Tensions with Pakistan escalated after the U.S. military raid that killed Osama bin Laden in 2011. Pakistan expelled some American military trainers, and some U.S. aid was halted that year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m sure this will make them like us more, and the Pakistanis will immediately release SGT Bowe Bergdahl who is being held by the Pakistani Haqqani terrorist network. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, we’ll kick military retirees off from the medical programs, jack up their premiums and raid their surplus so we can afford to pay the corrupt Pakistanis to like us. Yes, I know that money for foreign aid is “different money” than our health care money, but it all comes from the same place. And giving $1.6 billion to the Pakistanis isn’t a cost effective solution to our problems in the region. <\/p>\n

They’re still going to avoid decisive battle with the Taliban and the Haqqanis, they’re still going to release terrorist prisoners back into the fray, and Bowe Bergdahl will remain a prisoner and under the threat of death on a daily basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
