Is the record breaking rain and flooding in Pakistan the result of a) Allah's will, b) global warming, c) weather warfare, or d) plain old bad monsoon/100-year flood?

Pakistan is enduring rains and flooding that have broken 80 year old records. Particularly hard hit is the Swat region which happens to be the alleged cross border haven for Taliban and al Qaeda fighting in Afghanistan. As the CNN story below indicates, the U.S. is wasting no time making a show of providing military-based aid to win over the tenuously sympathetic hearts and minds of the Pakistan people.

Did the U.S. luck into an opportunity borne of crisis or is this an episode of politics by other means?
