So if the official story is true, would it not be a little prudent for the USG to stop giving Pakistan money to help us fight the war on terror? |
wiki leaks released a lot of very interesting documents about the whole Pakistan situation. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out between leaked wiki documents and where OBL was actually found and how the operation was handled. Really looks like there were at least a few people involved in keeping him hidden and a lot more people with questionable motives.
Im not saying OBL had a lot of supporters there, but Pakistan had an interest in keeping OBL alive because it meant continued financial gain and the continued US presence along the border weeding out Al Qaida and Taliban militants. We already saw that Pakistani leadership was funneling money and making friends with Al Qaida even as they supposedly helped the US with military intelligence and cooperation.
