and it sure looks that way, not only should we immediately stop all aid but also make it illegal for American companies to have an outsourced workforce there. Pakistan, in 2009, was among the top 20 countries that was benefiting from outsourcing and I'm sure it's happening even more now.

We should use financial weapons whenever possible. A major side benefit would be to bring lost American jobs home to America.

2. Not that easy

The ISI and the government have a history of the "right hand, not knowing what the left hand is doing"...as for the outsourced workforce...how do you think most of the supplies are getting to the troops on the ground in Afghanistan?

3. straw man?

Hundreds, if not thousands, of US companies outsource jobs that have nothing to do with the military. Here's a few: Whirlpool, State Farm, Bank of America, Apple, Delta Airlines, Mattel, Morgan Stanley, Proctor and Gamble, Verizon, Dell, Amazon, Orbitz, and many others. Also, many hospitals and clinics are now having their medical transcriptions outsourced to foreign lands, including Pakistan. Tell me how those companies are supplying our troops.
