nothing. It just makes U.S. looks better after the war in the middle-east, which quite ironically was not because of the terrorist attack but rather because of the oil. Also, having Pakistan as an ally can widen the U.S. influence in the middle-east. Just like what it does with Israel.

Aiding Pakistan was an effort to stabilize the region and prevent it from falling into extremist hands. Obviously, it didnt work because the Pakistani govt took advantage of this and aided Al Qaeda anyway.

Now China is aiding them in an effort to weaken America. There will be war here soon, triggered by Indian-Pakistani tensions, along with American, Chinese and Russians fighting by proxy.

And when it does, its going to be baaaaaad.

So true if USA were that bothered about Terrorists they would have invaded Saudi Arabia where most of the 9/11 hijackers were from but no because they have oil they are valuable lmao.

Pakistan isnt the middle east, and Pakistanis arent arabs. Also, America didnt invade Iraq for the oil, though it was a factor, but not the reason.

What did Sadaam Hussein, Gadaffi, and Kim Jong Il [and Iran] have in common?


They all refused to tie their money to the world banking system, and used their own independent currency system. Who were the first people to come into Libya after its "liberation"? the IMF, of course.

Banking controls the world, and their money controls the press. Anyone not cooperating is branded as an evil enemy. Take a look at whats happening in Iran as we speak.

"Democracy" is just an excuse to enslave people into the international monetary prison and control its people.

ahh..... politics.....

to control middleast and reduce chinese influence in there

taliban have been being fed by US government. CIA secret war

attacking taliban and terriosts just a false flag mission

On such an issue, one needs to have elements to understand the situation. Things may need to be put back in context.
Who (which administration) supported Pakistan & when?
That was in 2001 by the W. Bush administration.

After September 11, General Musharraf who was ruling over Pakistan (after a coup d'Etat in 1999) was seeking support from USA, so as not to avoid Pakistan from being invaded by the US like Afghanistan was.
Officially Musharraf was supporting the US, but secretly was helping the Talibans. Because the Talibans that US forces were searching in Afghanistan were hiding in Pakistan.
But little did George W. knew that Gen. Musharraf was double-crossing him (see source below). Before 2001, Musharraf was even an official suporter of Taliban
Also, guess where Bin Laden was Killed ? (see below).
Plus, the creator of Pakistan's nuclear weapon, Abdul Qadeer Khan was suspected of supporting Al Qaeda (see source below).

So, to reply original question, what benefit...?
I think it is pone more thing to put in the liability of George W. & his administration.

Pakistan is a country always on the tipping point into civil war, dictatorship, fundamentalism, and communism. Also, being that it has nuclear weapons, the US has a keen interest on maintaining stability there.

Think of the money sent as a bribe. Paying off the people, country, leadership so they don't attack the US.
