I wonder if Pakistan paid it. If so, no problem, we can just up the foreign aid we give them to cover the cost.

Do I trust my Government to tell the truth…Hell no. So why should any foreigner trust the USA Government. We have a 2 party system and both of them lie. And in my opinion our war mongering party (GOP) lie more than the DEMs… AS for politicians like Hilary Clinton they speak with forked tongue to support their immediate personal power. This CIA gang member murdered 2 Pakistan men at a traffic light and his freedom is bought with US tax payers money.
How can our politicians get away with that ?. simple we have millions of poorly educated masses that are dumbed down, but with access to cheap feeding stalls like McDonalds and who live off credit cards with mountains of debt. But they can barely spell, read or write English.
