That article is two years old. We are giving them 500 million dollars now. That is substantially different, though neither can be defensible.

Ok, think about it this way. Lets say we didn't invade Iraq this year. Saddam is still in power. We are having "problems" with Iran. So we start giving Saddam 500 million dollars a year to train and equip his military and generally do whatever he sees fit with that money. He is still torturing and killing and "ethnic cleansing" his country. And starts using the brutal mustard gas on the Iranians again, with invoice slips that came from us, again.

Can you support that? Cause it's the same exact fucking thing.
Saddam and Karimov don't have a whit of difference between them.

How is that for your strange bedfellows and doing what is in Americas best interest? Where is your vaunted care for the welfare of the Iraqi people now?

Perhaps, if I need a lesson in global politics and am ignorant. You need a lesson in morality, human rights, and human decency.
