18. I never claimed we currently have proof that Pakistan harbored a terrorist. However, if we were to
have told Pakistan of Bin Laden's location, I'm sure the US would be watching closely enough to have all the proof they needed if he subsequently escaped.

"I bet a lot more countries harbor terrorists then you think."

Let's just say that if the US demanded another country's assistance in capturing a terrorist, there are few countries that would refuse. Pakistan is likely one of them (even if they refuse implicitly, by helping them escape).

"Most countries spend little on the military, because they have other more important needs. America is the only country that wastes trillions of dollars on its military."

Isn't that entirely my point in that regard? That's precisely why the US will likely continue being the only one going after terrorists in the way they are doing so now.
