What about Pakistan now? Does the USA and NATO change policy?
Given the location of Osama Bin Laden's hideaway, how could an intelligence analysis -- much less us common folk -- fail to think that a subset of high ranking Pakistan's ISI, military, and political elite knew that OBL was hiding in plain sight in a mini fortress less than a mile from Pakistan's version of West Point?

Is Pakistan an enemy now? Do we ask Pakistan to "weed out" those that covered for Bin Laden?

Pakistan has allegedly been a paid "partner" in the War on Terror.

The Taliban and other militants that want the USA to go away still remain and may be energized.

We attacked and caused regime change in Afghanistan because the Taliban harbored Al Quaeda and Bin Laden.

I was against the attacks on Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Libya (as well as the less published actions in Africa and Latin America).

Maybe we should just go home from the region?

2. We bug out, if we have any sense. Pakistan isn't a friend and has probably killed or funded the
killing of more of our soldiers than Al Queda by far.
