Precisely! The math just doesn't add up. The Pakis claim to be spending ridiculous amounts, but in reality their entire country doesn't even have that much spending capacity!!Ok, let's try to make sense of this with a little math. $400 million per month equates to 400x12= $4.8 billion per year.
Zardari claims that Pakistan has spent $80 billion for the WoT. $80 billion over 10 years (since 2002) equates to 80/10= $8 billion per year.
Now, you are claiming that America is "not in the state" to give $4.8 billion to any country per year, yet the Pakistan government is apparently in such a strong fiscal position that it can afford to spend twice that figure from its own pocket? Never mind the fact that $8 billion is greater than the entire spending on the Pakistan Armed Forces ($5-$6 billion p.a).
Do you think we are all idiots?
All these useless figures pulled out from their posteriors are no use to anyone. People like Imran Khan fool their gullible Jaahil Pakis by quoting such crap figures, and the entire nation picks it up and cries about it.
Pakistan just cannot spend $12 billion per year. It is just a big lie.
