Osama bin Laden has re-established control over a terrorist network along the Pakistan and Afghan border, according to US sources.

If true, there is no way to portray this as anything but a failure of horrific proportions, equivalent to letting Hitler re-establish a Nazi stronghold after WWII. The only reason we provided aid and financial support for Pakistan's tin-pot dictatorship post-9/11 was to gain their support in the war on terror - there's no good reason US troops should not have free rein to scour western Pakistan for bin Laden and Mullah Omar.

Pakistan also has Nuclear weapons. It would be wise if we keep that "Tin Pot Dictatorship" fairly close to our side.
