[Navy Pride]

When will the insanity end with the Obama administration, why are we giving billions to countries that hate us? Maybe one of you Obama lovers can explain that to me?

Okay.

I was about to go to bed.

When I saw this from my iPad and I had to get my computer started up because this needs a reply.

Navy for all the ignorant, homophobic, idiotic partisan crap you've ever said... THIS might rank up there with the stupidest bollocks to ever be typed by you.

1) The word resume means the following: To begin or take up again after interruption.

Which means this is not a new thing... IN FACT!

2) This was started under the Bush Administration.

Foreign aid to Pakistan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Between 2002-2010, US Congress approved $18 billion[7] in military and economic aid from the United States. However the Pakistan Treasury only received $8.647 in direct financial payments.
Western officials have claimed nearly 70% (roughly $3.4 billion) of Military aid given to the military has been misspent in 2002-2007 and used to cover civilian deficit.However,Pakistan argues the civilian deficit was caused by poor economy from the War on Terror. However U.S-Pakistani relationship has been a transactional based and U.S military aid to Pakistan and aid conditions has been shrouded in secrecy for several years until recently .[8][9][9][10] Furthermore a significant proportion of U.S. economic aid for Pakistan has ended up in back in the U.S., as funds are channeled through large U.S. contractors. A U.S. lawmaker also said majority of U.S. economic aid has not left the U.S. as it spent on consulting fees and overhead cost.[11][12] Pakistan also states it has spent $80 billion on the War on Terror since 2001.[1]

3) Pakistan is in a very fragile state, and for the most part much of it's highest echelons remain US allies. Problem is, some people assume that money can buy the loyalty of an entire country and every soldier that wears it's flag. That's a preposterous idea... not only that but the money keeps things in the country relatively stable. Pakistan CANNOT GO FAILED STATE. It is a country with nuclear weapons.

Even Mega Nutjob Michelle Bachmann understood this...

“Pakistan is a very difficult area,” Bachmann stated, ”I would not agree with that assessment to pull all foreign aid from Pakistan…because Pakistan has a nuclear weapon. We have more– people affiliated with Al Qaeda closer to that nuclear bomb than in any nation. This is an extremely important issue.”

To say Obama is to "Blame" for aid to Pakistan is absolutely, 1000% ****ing absurd.

When are you lefties going to stop blaming Bush for your heroes failed administration? 10 year, 50 year 100 years? Obama administration gave away these billions today. Do you know you as and American could not walk down a Pakistani street and be safe............Tell your hero to stop this insanity. He has already got the country bankrupt. we give 1.6 billion to them that we borrowed from China..........Its really unbelievable that you are so ****ing bias you can defend it.

I have to wonder if the republicans are really about stopping this sort of spending, which has occurred under republican rule also so blaming Obama for it is missing the point, why didn't they shut down the government until we looked at foreign aid to ungrateful crap countries like pakistan? He might have gotten some support if they insisted aid to the middle east countries cease entirely and we let them handle their own messes. Oh, but the republicans also believe in shelling out money to countries who hate us, and they are not an alternative that would end this sort of thing.

Maybe you should look to your own house instead of throwing blame around to people who do exactly what those you feel are heroes also do. The only difference in Obama, Bush, Boehner, Cruz, Reid, and mcconnel are their names when it comes to foreign aid, so please do stop pretending your guys are less of a bunch of slime than anyone else on this issue.

Since I am neither a republican or a democrat but a registered independent so my house I fine.

Just because you do not admit to the label does not mean you do not fit it completely. Believe me, you are a tea party person. I am not even sure why a person like you would not be sending money to their cause. They fight for everything you believe in. Tea party or not, we do know where your vote goes. For someone pretending they not them you sure do spend a lot of time promoting them and complaining when others insult them. Perhaps there is a reason you confuse people?

I guess when you're killing hundreds of another country's citizens with drone strikes it takes a lot of dinero to buy 'ally' status.
