MUch as I loath and detest Zardari and PPP, that was probably necessary. We had a war to fight and money needed to be spent on that. Not on ECM and RADAR that was of scant use. Note that GSR did get approved.
Like someone pointed out on the thread and if I remember it was said before on this forum, the funds were used by Raja Pervaiz Ashraf for his halqa.... halqa politics ate the fund not war on TTP.
