If you had joined google a few months after the IPO, you'd be a rich man. If FB can monetize their user base, they can make a lot of money. Make more money, stock price goes up. It all depends on your perspective. If you think FB has jumped the shark,you probably don't expect the stock price to go up.

The Pakistani taliban were against the polio campaign before the Abbotabad operation.

Then there's this: Afghan Taliban support polio vaccination campaign

So it's not really fair to blame this on the CIA's operation...

Why are they looking at counter-insurgent activity? Shouldn't they be looking at insurgent activity?

Florida should read about the Cobra effect.

It's not...Chris Dodd is a D(ouchebag)

Your numbers are way off. Each cleared contractor probably costs the government 200+$/hr. Then there's hardware. If the project has been going on for 10 years, they probably went through at least one refresh cycle. Then there are other costs like admin overhead, facilities, travel etc.

So it's like the NFL draft...but with Asians...

The soft bigotry of low expectations.

A competing online academy run by Sal Khan's jewish cousin?

Imran Khan's party can't be described as centrist, liberal or secular by ANY stretch of the imagination. He's frequently justified the actions of the taliban as jihad i.e. justified under islamic law.

He's also justified the taliban's actions as jihad.

Afghan politicians have reacted with disbelief, with one parliamentarian suggesting Khan should be arrested. The Ulema Council, a grouping of senior clerics, declared his comments "unislamic". A Kabul foreign ministry spokesman said Khan was "either profoundly and dangerously ignorant about the reality in Afghanistan, or he has ill will against the Afghan people. "Our children are killed on daily basis, civilians killed and our schools, hospitals and infrastructure attacked on a daily basis. To call any of that jihad is profoundly wrong and misguided."

So he's not on their radar just for his opposition to the drones...

Right....because banks with in-house IT departments don't suffer from data breaches...

According to this logic, we should let criminals do whatever cops are allowed to do....carry guns...great...wiretap people....the cops do it too...

Before 9/11, Ashcroft actually requested a lower level of funding for the DoJ's anti-terrorism efforts.

You're saying it's not a real thing and OP just made it up?
