All Them Purty Lawn Darts

The Bush administration plans to shift nearly $230 million in aid to Pakistan from counterterrorism programs to upgrading that country's aging F-16s. That is out of the $300 million in military aid to Pakistan for buying military equipment and training.

That is not "aid." That is a "bribe," a "payoff." Pakistan isn't bombing its own territory and they are not about to start. F-16s are about as useless in a counter-insurgency or counter-terrorism campaign as George Bush is in, well, everything. F-16s are for a war with India.

Without some clear explanation as to why this is not as wrong-headed an idea as the counter-terror "comfort capsules," Congress needs to stomp this idea into the dirt.
