It's complex diplomacy, where they all agree to put on one face for the people, and one for the media, a little sabre rattling to show you are properly "upset"

[A Merkan]

Yes, because the Pakistani military is al-Qaeda.

In all fairness, if a major terrorist killed 3,000 Pakistani civilians and then took refuge in the US, we would help them flush him out, not give him safe harbor. Ergo, your point is fairly mute. We do not behave like Pakistan, so we would not expect to be treated the same as we treat Pakistan.

Yes, especially if we were hiding and protecting him. Obviously we support whatever he did if we're doing that.

[Thorcorn™]

Not if we knew they were looking for him for the past ten years or so. In all fairness they would probably be offended after finding out we were aiding and abetting a person on the most wanted list.

Yes you're right. And this would be an issue if we had Pakistani Assassins in US jails but we don't and US assassins aren't in Pakistani jails either. So what is your issue?

Pakistan was a US ally in the war on terrorism. Pakistan was being paid millions of dollars for this cooperation but they weren't fulfilling this obligation. Pakistani intelligence either did not care or did not pick up on the fact that OBL was hiding right under their nose. So the US had to do something if it wanted to get OBL.

If the US alerted Pakistan OBL might have escaped as he did in Tora Bora. So what was the US to do? Let him go? Wait for Pakistan to go after him? Even Benazir Bhuto said Pakistan was infiltrated by terrorists. The US had no choice. It was one of those choices when we had to do bad to do good.

Sometimes life doesn't fit into comfortable, logical, predictable little boxes. Sometimes we have to think outside the box.
