Pakistan is paying US lobbyists $75K a month to ensure that they'll get the $2 billion in foreign aid that's in our 2012 budget. Pakistan pays U.S. lobbyists to deny it helped bin Laden | Reuters
Don't foreign countries even have to "play nice" to get money from US taxpayers?
There is absolutely no way the government of Pakistan didn't know that OBL was hiding in plain sight:
A unique compound with 12-ft barbed-wire topped walls in a subdivision of military (and other) retirees...down the street from the police station...a short distance to the Pakistani equivalent of West Point...registered under a bogus name...built with "entrapment corridors" inside the walls...no garbage service like everyone else (they burned theirs)...I'm sure there's more.
Do you think the United States should continue giving foreign aid to Pakistan?
