Bush would have taken him out if he knew, before leaving office.
I just have a feeling it came as a shock he was in such a public place right under the noses of Paki intelligence and for them not to know and tell us.
How they dealt with him is all I ever need to know about that place.
There is no way Bush didn’t know where he was. I suspect he was being used as a honey pot, watching his communications to track down his organization and dismantle it.
