Pak set to receive 600 mlm dollars as part of US package:

Islamabad, Oct 24 : Pakistan is all set to receive its first instalment of 600 million dollars out of the newly three billion dollar package announced by the US.

The Daily Times quoted a Finance Ministry official as saying that out of the three billion package to be disbursed over five years, as much as 1.5 billion dollars was for military assistance to be disbursed at the rate of 300 million dollars in each instalment while one billion would be earmarked to cover balance of payments with the remaining 500 million dollars for the USAID programmes in Pakistan.

As per the report, though both US and Pakistan have completed the prerequisites for the approval of the package, the first loan will be given to the Pakistani government sometime either in January or February.

1. Damn, I will have my governor order some nukes...
we can sideline the nuke money and pay for our schools!

And we can secede from this fucked up union, since bushco doesn't go after groups with nukes.

3. Pakistan already has nukes supplied and financed by
by our best friends Saudi Arabia....
You must have missed my my favorite (nightmare) theory, AlQueda in Pak BIG time, they have tried to assassinate Musharraf three times. When they succeed, Pakistan will fall and before you can say Mujahadden they will be over the mountains from Afghanistan.......and they have nukes! A rogue nation with nukes.....BIG FUN!
