They should get the Serbs to negotiate; they got $100 million for turning in Milosevic to the US. But with CI chiefs in FBI, CIA coming in at around a million each, they may have gone for the easy deal... ........ Fox News just interviewed a Catholic priest who blessed the future violence.

$30 billion in "debt forgiveness" to the Pakistanis, which will cause a dozen other countries to condition their support for anti-terrorism activities on debt forgiveness....gee, maybe the South American countries can get in on the act, convincing Sindero Luminoso to crash a 747 into DisneyWorld so that Brazil and Argentina can sign on and have _their_ debts forgiven? $30 billion to Pakistan, tens of billions to Israel and Egypt EVERY FUCKING YEAR, payoffs to Albana to keep on killing Macedonians and Serbs, a $10 billion bailout of the airline industry...the money just keeps on flowing! (Not to mention the $30 million given last week to Afghanistan. But, hey, at least they bought Stinger missiles with U.S. aid money! And if they use those Stingers to shoot down U.S. jets and helicopters, that'll help the war machine, and the defense industry, so everybody's happy!) Don't worry, be happy! Hey, I'm chortling. This whole thing is turning into a cluster fuck of epic proportions. It may bring on the collapse of the whole house of cards. --Tim May

Bin Laden was originally sponsored by Pakistan (Hence the argument that Bin Laden was sponsored by the CIA, because the CIA was sponsoring Pakistan's effort back in the days when the target was the Soviet Union.). The Taliban was a creation of Pakistan, created well after the Soviet Union fell, and sponsored by them until a few days ago, even though the Taliban was sponsoring terror against the US. I much doubt they spent thirty billion developing them. So it looks like supporting terrorism is a hugely profitable activity. Hey guys, terrorize the US. We will then pay you stop. And if Bush should have his doubts about this program, Pervez Musharraf will point to all the taliban like extremists within Pakistan and say "Well I am a moderate man, but gee, if you do not give me what I want I might fall, and then Pakistan's nukes get into the hands of the like of Bin Laden. I suggest that Bush might make an alternative offer -- if Musharraf cooperates sufficiently, the US government will refrain from destroying his nuclear capability. --digsig James A.
