re: The money that went to Pakistan is because they are "our closest ally in that area."
Some ally. Now Mushie does not want to know where OBL is hiding. I thought he was supposed to be helping us find him. Instead, I suspect he has been complicit in sheltering him, moving him around, and making sure he receives regularly scheduled dialysis treatments at the best hospitals in the area.
I would not be the least surprised to learn that OBL is flown to other "allies"--say Saudi Arabia- for his kidney treatments...
Me neither. They seem to rejoice in flaunting the US and its efforts to capture OBL. The longer it takes us to retrieve him (dead or alive), the more power he seems to wield among his followers and the nations that play two-faced games with us.
