Ted Poe Won’t Back Tough Pakistan Words With Action

Congressman Ted Poe had tough words for Pakistan yesterday: “Isn’t Pakistan supposed to be with us in this war in Afghanistan? And if they’re not our ally, why are we giving them billions of taxpayer dollars? Now, in light of the illegal release of classified documents, Pakistan also appears to be taking our money and supporting our enemy, the Taliban. Maybe Pakistan isn’t the loyal ally we pay them to be. We should not be giving money we need here at home to countries that are friends in public and thieves behind closed doors. As my colleague Louie Gohmert says, ‘We don’t have to pay these people to hate us. They will do it for free.’ And that’s just the way it is.”

Is that just the way it is, Representative Poe?

If that’s just the way it is, why didn’t Ted Poe vote for H. Con. Res. 301, a bipartisan bill that would require the withdrawal of the U.S. military out of Afghanistan?
