$2 billion in Unaccounted Aid in Pakistan

Typical. Money that was supposed to be spent on counter-terrorism was spent on...lord knows what.

Of course Pakistan has been spending our money down south, to counter the Indians, as opposed to up north, where the Taliban is, anyway.

Once again, I am compelled to make the repeat the wisest thing that I've read this century:

But it does inspire in me the desire for a competition; can anyone, particularly the rather more Bush-friendly recent arrivals to the board, give me one single example of something with the following three characteristics:

1. It is a policy initiative of the current Bush administration
2. It was significant enough in scale that I'd have heard of it (at a pinch, that I should have heard of it)
3. It wasn't in some important way completely f#$@ed up during the execution.

Seriously. I've yet to see anything wiser yet, and I'm using the loose definition of the 21st century which includes the year 2000.
