Sounds about right...and explains Karzai’s behavior.

I would like to know how many opium poppy farmers owe the legacy of Osama bin Laden a favor.

Musharraf’s fault.

I wouldn’t trust one person from this culture as far as I could throw them. They aren’t the same as (most of) us. I have dealt with them in business - they have their own rules and don’t give a hoot about ours, even if they sign on the dotted line. Sadly, I never started out thinking this way.

I don't think Pakistan wanted to know or have any involvement. Osama is practically a hero to most of the muzzies in the country. This gives their government deniability.

Thank you, George Bush, for negotiating such a deal. Not that it would have prevented us from doing it anyhow, but it hopefully set terms which will limit negative fallout as a result.

Under its terms, Pakistan would allow US forces to conduct a unilateral raid inside Pakistan in search of Bin Laden, his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and the al-Qaida No3. Afterwards, both sides agreed, Pakistan would vociferously protest the incursion.

P-stan welched on their part of the deal; not vociferous enough.

I give BHO2 credit, at least during the campaign he said he would do something like this. He must have been happy to find George W Bush had negotiated it for him!

It makes sense now. The guy that was tweeting from a coffee shop nearby kept talking about roads being blocked off. I didn’t get it at the time but now I understand. The Pakis had the place cordoned off.

US forces were given permission to conduct unilateral raid inside Pakistan if they knew where Bin Laden was hiding, officials say The deal was struck between Pervez Musharraf and George Bush in 2001 and renewed during the 'transition to democracy' – a six-month period from February 2008 when Musharraf was still president but a civilian government had been elected.

Gutsy call!

"There was an agreement between Bush and Musharraf that if we knew where Osama was, we were going to come and get him"

Another "win" for the Bush team WOT legacy.
