Back in April, I suggested that the GOP has been paying money to Al Qaeda to forestall attacks in the US. (This in addtion to caving in to bin Laden's key demands).
More evidence has now surfaced.
billions to Pakistan wasted
After the United States has spent more than $5 billion in a largely failed effort to bolster the Pakistani military effort against militants from Al Qaeda and the Taliban, some American officials now acknowledge that there were too few controls over how the money was spent, and that the strategy to improve the Pakistani military needs to be completely revamped.
Translated from MSM GOP spin talk
United States has spent more than $5 billion = we have paid somewhere like $25 billion
some American officials now acknowledge that there were too few controls over how the money was spent = we lied to Congress as to where the money was going
The program's failures appear to be a sweeping setback for the administration as it approaches its final year in office. American intelligence officials believe Bush is likely to leave office in January 2009 with the Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden still at large = perish the thought -- a failure on the part of the Bush Administration
"We haven't had a good lead on his exact whereabouts in two years," another senior American military official lamented recently
-- who say's the program was total failure?
The bottom line is that people of Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, Utah, etc. will stand by and allow the humiliation of the Unites States to continue as long as Bush/Cheney work to deny African Americans the right to vote and torture a few Pakistanis and Arabs.
It is up to the Democratic Party has to point out the continuing treason of the GOP (from arming Wahabi fundamentalists in the 1980s to providing missiles to the Irananians to the Kunduz Airlift to these pay offs).
