What is the truth, the American gunships or Chinese gunships The State Department has approved Pakistanâ??s request to buy almost $1 billion in U.S.-made attack helicopters, missiles and other equipment aimed at fighting insurgents in the countryâ??s mountainous north and west regions. U.S. defense companies are engaged in a three-way tussle with Russia and China to sell weapons to Pakistan, complicated by the need to avoid upsetting neighbor India and its even larger armsâ?? import market. The Pentagon said Monday that Pakistan had requested 15 AH-1Z Viper helicopters made by the Bell arm of Textron Inc., as well as 1,000 Hellfire missiles produced by Lockheed Martin Corp. and a host of other communications and training equipment with a total value of $952 million, according to a notification to Congress, which needs to approve any sale. Any deal would be structured as a foreign military sale between the two governments. â??This proposed sale of helicopters and weapon systems will provide Pakistan with military capabilities in support of its counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations in South Asia,â? said the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, which oversees U.S. military exports.

Don't look at me. If I had my way, the only thing we would send the Paks would be the back of the hand across their lying teeth.
