how could bin laded be in pakistan for 5 years without the ISS, their intelligence service knowing about it? very unlikely. however, we should not be surprised. pakistan was never a willing ally of ours, neither is it a functioning state.
after 9/11 we showed up in pakistan with a big stick and a big carrot and told them they were our new partner and ally. it wasnt their idea. the ISS has been complicit with the taliban and bin laden and we had to have known this. pakistan is a failed or semi failed state.
you lie down with dogs, you get fleas, etc.
we have a pretty untenable situaiton know with a corrupt afghan government who we dont trust and they dont like us and a failed, conflicted pakistan.
no idea how we navigate thru this; what a mess
