Pakistan facing bankruptcy

[Oliver]

Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves are so low that the country can only afford one month of imports and faces possible bankruptcy.

Mr Zardari told the Wall Street Journal that Pakistan needed a bail out worth $100 billion from the international community.

"If I can't pay my own oil bill, how am I going to increase my police?" he asked. "The oil companies are asking me to pay $135 [per barrel] of oil and at the same time they want me to keep the world peaceful and Pakistan peaceful."

In other Words, Pakistan is suspending it's War on Terror campaign
to safe it's economy. Maybe they should start thinking about selling
some of their 300 nukes to Iran now.

Too bad Mahmoud Ahmadinejad doesn"t like Pakistan. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad supports Hamid Karzai and hates the ISI. USA should invade Pakistan and so should India and Afghanistan. Terrorist groups have no right to use Pakistan as a safe haven. ISI is supporting terrorists in Kashmir.

Again the Sunni/Shia split says no. Saudi arabia would be more likely to make such a puchase.

Hope they didn't have their money in an Icelandic bank.

He has to win first, then more wars.

Watch out Afghanistan & Pakistan (back to Iraq after it falls apart again once we leave) we are bringing our broke butts over there w/ borrowed money.
