Terrorists Operating Freely In Pakistan

Terrorists are still operating freely in Pakistan along the country's Afghanistan border, despite the U.S. giving Pakistan more than $10.5 billion in military and economic aid, according to a government watchdog agency.

The Government Accountability Office says in a report released Thursday that the U.S. lacks a comprehensive plan to deal with the terrorist threat.

Democrats called the report appalling because of congressional mandates demanding the nation do more to coordinate efforts by federal agencies.

"For anyone wondering how we're doing in the fight to get the terrorists who killed 3,000 Americans on 9/11, this report pretty much says it all," said Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J.

Some federal agencies, including the Defense Department, agreed with the findings. But the State Department disagreed, saying that a comprehensive strategy does exist and is being implemented

You know, I'm pretty much at a loss here. over $10 billion dollars in aid, and while it has resulted in some Al-Qaeda's being captured or killed, it's not enough. If Pakistan can't or won't get on the ball about this, then perhaps it's time the money stopped flowing into their back accounts.

Perhaps it's time we started ignoring Pakistan's sovereignty, and went directly after the terrorists ourselves. If Pakistan throws us the occasional bone and continues to drag it's feet, then we have no choice but to go a different route.

What the FUCK have we been spending the money on? If $10.5 BILLION dollars won't get Osama and his goons, then perhaps we should take a more quiet, movie type CIA route. Start slitting throats of Al-Qaeda members in the middle of the night, use propaganda against them, plant seeds of doubt in their minds, give field agents free reign to make anything they need happen.

Bureaucracy and appeasement doesn't work. Force and overwhelming odds does.
