Will Bush Be Forced to Pay Back the $5 Billion He Wasted?

Posted by Howie Klein, Down With Tyranny! at 11:03 AM on December 24, 2007.

While Musharraf was cracking jokes at Bush's expense he was stealing billions of American taxpayer dollars from the clueless Texas clod.

If you watched The Daily Show when John Stewart had the smooth and chatty military dictator Pervez Musharraf on as his guest, you probably got an inkling of the disdain, if not outright contempt-- in which he (Musharraf) holds Bush. He cracked up the audience by asserting that a Bush vs bin-Laden mayoral race in Karachi wouldn't leave the residents with any acceptable choices. But while Musharraf was cracking jokes at Bush's expense he was stealing billions of American taxpayer dollars from the clueless Texas clod. The Pakistanis ripped the Bush Regime every way from here to Sunday-- and then some.

After the United States has spent more than $5 billion in a largely failed effort to bolster the Pakistani military effort against Al Qaeda and the Taliban, some American officials now acknowledge that there were too few controls over the money. The strategy to improve the Pakistani military, they said, needs to be completely revamped.

One diplomat told the NY Times he wondered if the Americans hadn't been taken for a ride. You think? Is this another charge-- albeit a relatively minor one-- that can be added once Pelosi puts you-know-what back on the table? Sooner or later, it all catches up with you and I can't wait to watch it catch up with Bush and the disgraceful lot of rogues who peopled his illegitimate regime.

Darlin, you're pissing into the wind.
If he was convicted he would just pardon himself.
I suggest that he just _____ himself.

Five thousand million dollars here, five thousand million dollars there ..... after a while we're talking some serious money.

We need the World Court to intercede on America's behalf and prosecute this administration for it's crimes against humanity.

 

[Horschallen]

Sounds like a great idea!

Not to sound the RP horn again, but yet another reason to stay out of entangling alliances and keep the money right here in the USA. I'm sure we can put it to much better use. We have bridges, for instance, crumbling in the U.S. that need rebuilding.
