Here is the story they want us to believe: he was holed up in a fortress for 5 or 6 years, 100 yards from a military academy, and they knew nothing? Yeah, right. We should continue offending their tender sensibilities in the future. For nearly a decade they harbored the guy behind a plot that killed 300 Americans and was proud of it. And American financial aid to Pakistan should stop immediately.

>>>Past that, the only contact we should have with Pakistan is contact enough to eliminate their nuclear weapons and weapons producing capability. Whatever it takes (I mean militarily - no negotiations). That stuff will wind up in the hands of Al Qaeda or their allies in the near future if we do not actively take it out.

Pakistan and Israel have a commonality that they are both lousy allies. Israel has probably caused us more problems than any 10 other countries. excluding Russia. Yes, the founding of Israel was a good thing due to the history of anti-Semitism. But they are as belligerent as those who hate them. 9/11 would not have happened if not for our consistent bias for Israel in the Middle East, as just one example.
