Joke of the Day. Kerry won’t name them and Pakistan won’t fight them. But there goes $3.4 billion more American taxpayer dollars, frittered away for smiles and promises. How much of it will end up in the hands of the Islamic jihadists Kerry is afraid to identify as such, as so much of it has before?
“Pakistan has vigorous commitment to counter terrorist, says Kerry,” APP, February 25, 2015:
WASHINGTON (APP) – US Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday said Pakistan has displayed a vigorous commitment to defeat violent extremists groups in the wake of December 16, 2014 terror attack on the Army Public School.
Testifying before Senate Appropriations Committee on the Obama Administration s request for State Department s $ 50.3 billion discretionary funding in the FY 2016 Budget, Secretary Kerry told lawmakers that the United States intends to spend $3.4 billion to “reinforce our partnerships and diplomatic engagement with Afghanistan and Pakistan.”
The United States is working with Islamabad to counter terrorist groups that threaten the two countries shared security, he said.
“Last month, I met with the country s leadership for our annual Strategic Dialogue and found in the wake of the December 16 terrorist attack on the Army Public school that murdered 132 children a vigorous commitment to take on and defeat violent extremist groups.”
“In recognition of our long-term engagement with the Pakistani people, we are also helping to promote development, energy security, health, and education,” Kerry added.

Pakistan’s biggest ‘supremacist group’ is the group of jihadists and sympathizers in the Pak Army. They will aid and abet the enemy.
john spielman says
the sad truth about Afghanistan, Pakistan,( and in fact all islamic crapistans), is that there will NEVER be peace and prosperity because of the demonic spirit behind islam infests the land and will always override any attempt to bring peace. islam is a house divided and is at perpetual war with itself and the world.
bobm says
Totally right on John…on point.
DVult says
For a second I thought you were paraphrasing John Kerry. What a shock that would be to hear him say something truthful for a change.
Spot On says
The problem here is that Kerry thinks WE are the extremist group and not his valued “poor downtrodden” Radical Muslims. Kerry is a piece of work. He believes his own BS.
Lee Hicks says
All Islam is Jihadist in nature and doctrine, as it has been a vital part of Islam since Mohammad himself. The main reason that Muslims attack and kill Muslims is due to the divided Arabic mindset that plagues all the descendants of Ishmael. Also, this is done in pursuit of a different Jihadist agenda.
The enemy of our enemy is NOT our friend, if they are another Muslim nation or people. They are just as much of a potential enemy to us. Commitment to this evil religion means that Pakistan is just as much of a threat to free peoples as is ISIS or Saudi Arabia, as we see Sharia promoted and enforced in every Muslim nation.
Islam is Jihad, and Jihad is required for every Muslim. This is given in the majority of the teachings and life of Mohammad, and is the doctrine that Allah requires.
Don’t be deceived, there is no peaceful or passive version of Islam, as the true person behind the mask of Allah is Satan himself, making his final push in these last days to create as much damage and havoc as possible. There is no “lesser of two evils” in regard to Islam, as both originate from the same religion that is barbaric, brutal, and that promotes pedophilia, hatred of women and children, cruelty beyond reason, a complete absence of love and compassion, and the ultimate subjugation or eradication of anything that is non-Muslim in nature or teaching.
Islam itself is the enemy, and by extension, Satan in the guise of Allah is it’s head and false god. The only “peace” that any of Islam will accept is the complete subjugation or eradication of anything that refuses to bow the knee to Satan/Allah.
mortimer says
According to Mohammed, original Islam is jihad.
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:
I heard the Apostle of Allah say: When you enter into the inah transaction (become businessmen), hold the tails of oxen (become cattlemen), are pleased with agriculture (become farmers), and give up conducting jihad, Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your original religion. – Sunan Abu Dawud Book 23, Number 3455
Conducting jihad is the ‘original religion’ of Mohammed. Mohammed is the authority on Islam.
Angemon says
Kerry is just (part of) the visible face of the problem. If Kerry was gone tomorrow another brainless sycophant would take his place and carry on business as usual.

Don McKellar says
It’s American Socialism in action. Pakistan is of no value to anybody except for the US Military Industrial Complex, and any other country who seeks to inflate its weapons manufacturing sales figures. Why, exactly, would the United States give Pakistan all that taxpayer money? It is only because of the Military Industrial Complex lobbying and pressure. Most of that money will end up in purchasing complex weapons systems including helicopters and all the things needed to maintain them. Some money and weapons will indeed end up in the hands of the Taliban and the rest. The whole exercise of giving “aid” money to rat holes like Pakistan and the rest is always a big mistake — and the American taxpayer is the one who pays for it. It is really socialist aid money for American industries done through a middleman who hates America and allows some of it to trickle down to others who are actively working for America’s destruction.

FarmerMike says
Idea: srael’s Netanyahu will address the combined houses of Congress next week. Netanyhu sees clearly, speaks clearly. Is not a double-talking Obama. Nor a totally confused Kerry.
So, Congress will be having a really new experience: Listening to a leader who speaks clearly.
What if a lot of us JihadWatch bloggers–right now– flood our Congress Critters with brief, blunt, clear messages at this very moment??!! It’ll be like double-teaming in football or basketball.
Gotta have some effect. I’ve already contacted my Senators, & Congressman Wenstrup. Somebody just HAS to wake up, dontcha think?
Netanyahu breaks thru the deafness. We deliver our own home-grown message.
FarmerMike says
What I’m urging is, a flood of “Impeach Obama” emails from us JW Bloggers. If ever our CongressCritters’ minds will be receptive to the idea of impeaching Obama, it should be when they are listing to the clarity of Netanyahu.
Anybody else agree?
FarmerMike says
Is my suggestion foolish?? To flood “Impeach Obama” emails to our Senators & CongressPeople–now– at this stratetgic moment–because Netanyahu will be bringing a strong measure of SANITY & CLEAR THINKING & CLEAR SPEAKING to the Joint Houses of Congress in a few days. If we flood of “Impeach Obama” emails into Congress, we sill be attempting to break through some of the fog enshrouding our elected representatives, by “teaming-up,” as it were, w/ Netanyahu who will be speaking from the front of the room, while we JW Bloggers are sending in this “flood” of “Impeach Obama” emails from the hinterland.
Does anyone understand this idea?
I mean, why is my repeatedly suggested action being so deliberately avoided? What is wrong with the idea?
If nothing is wrong, why aren’t numerous JW Bloggers saying, “Yeah!” “Right on!” “I’m sending mine in–twice, maybe 3 times!”
Am I making a bad suggestion????
If it’s a GOOD idea, now’s the time to be doing it, dontcha think???
Kevin Walker says
‘Pakistan to receive another $3.4 billion from US in aid.’
It’s nothing new, every US regime, democrats & republicans alike, has given billions of dollars to Pakistan in aid. Without foreign aid that country cannot survive.
Several years ago, that was before 9/11, I read somewhere that Pakistan has received more than 200 billion dollars in foreign aid (from various western countries) since 1947.
That’s the case with each mohammedan country either they survive on oil exports or foreign-aid, they don’t produce anything useful even for their own country/society.
milad meah says
why have they not done it yet
FarmerMike says
Well, is it a good idea? For all of us on this JW blog to send emails to our CongressCritters–ESPECIALLY since Netanyahu is talking to them, giving them some unfamiliarly clear thinking & clear speaking–demanding that they IMPEACH
the traitorous President Obama, esp. because of his clear & numerous ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, a clearly identified terrorist organization,.
That way, a whole bunch of CongressCritters get the message from both the front of the room–Netanyahu–and the back of the room–us. Netanyahu might not use the word “impeach,” but he’s not been invited to the White House. And he’s choosing to speak to Congress. Kinda cleat message there, right?
Dontcha think something’s bound to sink in, somewhere? Hunh?
Jack Holan says
Fmr Senator/Sec. of State Kerry needs to get up to speed on both more or less recent events, history, political/socio-economcs and Islam for this region and Turkey/Iran. The Golden Boy does not seem to have done much reading of his own because he comes off sounding like an(0) you know. Pakistan that took aid from money from many administrations of both Parties claiming they weren’t seek nuclear capability. Mr.Kerry and Mr. Obama would you believe one day we awoke and not only did they have one nuclear bomb but many with missiles just Iran. They were on the brink of war with their traditional enemy, India. Pakistan lost 3 conventional wars with India so now they though Kashmir would become their real-estate. This last time Pakistan stood down. However with assassinations, murders of opposition , judges, terrorists or sympathizers in the military and intel who knows. These people not only have Nukes but ICBMs. This is who he is hanging his star on to fight “violent extremism”. Good parts of Pakistan are controlled by tribes not the Central Government. The penalty in Pakistan for blasphemy and apostate is death and they enforce it do they misunderstand? Now you are honestly going to enlist the Afghanis to fight terror. Can they hold on to Kabul by themselves? Once again a tribal or chieftain society highly fundamentalist not like the Taliban but not like the US. Turkey wants Assad dead and Iran wants no harm to come to him and that he stay in power. Turkey would not even support the coalition as a NATO country, by letting them use their Air Space or Bases. This sounds like a very loyal Allie. Iran is always referring to the US as the Great Satan burning their flag condemning Christianity and Judaism and once they are in Syria and Iraq do you really think they will leave? They lost 1mm men in Iraq. Syria is a fellow Shia under attack.
Kerry don’t act stupid or like Obama’s fool
FarmerMike says
Hey! I’m serious! This is urgent! Because Netanyahu is addressing a joint session of Congress next week. How about if all [or most] of us on this JW blog, email our CongressCritters, demanding some action on impeaching Obama? Right now!
The urgency is: Netanyahu is a clear thinker, clear speaker. So, this–clarity of mind– will be a new experience for Congress, to hear a leader who thinks clearly, & speaks clearly. They’ll be hearing Netanyahu from the front of the room.
Meanwhile, if we flood our CongressCritters with demands for Impeaching of Obama, from the “back of the room,” –via emails–won’t that increase the impact of what Netanyahu says? Netanyahu may not mention the word “impeach,” but the whole world knows he & Obama don’t get along. It’s clearly obvious.
So, our emails–AT THIS TIME–have a greater impact, dontcha think? Hunh?
FarmerMike says
Netanyahu is speaking next week…. So, we need to send in our Congressonal demands for Obama-impeachment proceedings..like, now! If we want them to be considered in light of whatever Netanyahu says.

Hitler’s Leibstandarte (SS Bodyguard) gave exactly the same single finger salute – but then we all know that Hitler drew his inspiration from islam and that the grand mufti of Palestine supplied whole SS divisions of muslims who carried out some of the worst atrocities in the Eastern sector – those who refuse to denounce islam must realise that they are, effectively, supporting the nazi ideology? Or are they just deluded ignoramuses, too stupid, ‘multi-culti’ and politically (in)correct to work that out?
RICHTHOFEN says
Yeah! Well said – Pakistan and Turkey determined to fight islamic evil – NOT!!!!!!!!!!

It’s an insane world we live in right now and Robert, what you’re telling us should be in the so-called mainstream. But don’t ever give up, you’re message is getting across and the free world is a better place because you’re here. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said: “The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. “One word of truth outweighs the world.”
DVult says
Why didn’t we just let the Russians have Afghanistan. They can have Turkey and Pokiston too and any of the other Stans. Maybe that would have had the added benefit of keeping them out of mischief in Eastern Europe.
