Why Pakistan ask friends ?? I think they get $$$ from USA ? they must US for more money ! It was the Idea of USA to fight this world war against the "Islamic-Terror". Second 1 Billion will be not enough !

I don’t know what to say here but do you think that families of those who were killed in Pakistan in just last month and years would also call it simply a war of USA. Pakistan is in deep trouble and it needs all the help it can get. Fortunately for Pakistan USA and world also need their help.

And one billion $ is just for reequipping and training them in short run.
