Of course, the FLIP SIDE to that is, once you begin paying for "big gets," there's no incentive for the Pakis to arrest anyone for free. Indeed there is the opposite incentive: to insure that al Qaeda and Taliban operatives of interest to America are protected and NOT vulnerable to being taken out or taken down unless and until appropriate payment is received.
Bush made these people costly liabilities to Pakistan. If what you suggest is true, Obama has now made them valuable assets.
Exactly what you say is true. 0bama has showered PakiLand with billions in stimulus dollars which has stimulated them to catch some big fish in Al Qaeda that they could have always captured
Maybe they’ll go get us Bin Ladin for 10 billion and half that will line the pockets of the ruling clique
