We have been coddling Pakistan...and Musharref.
Long standing opium and heroin drug trade, decades of it.
Fer chrissakes, Armitage's daughter is now the US diplomat for Pakistan, or at least she was.
There are two things that stand out to me that we are under some muscling by Pakistan.

One, their main nuclear scientist was selling nuclear secrets to North Korea, we catch him and he is pardoned sacrosanct by Pakistan and we don't complain. Two, right after 9-11 we allowed a ONE MONTH no-fly zone between Afganistan and Pakistan. This gave Bin Laden a whole month to get out of Afganistan. Seeing as how we started a war over there to go get him, why did we give him a nice head start?

Last, but not least, (and I hate to keep harping on this but you guys just don't GET it), but the head of Pakistans' ISI (military intelligence)was in Washington the morning of 9-11 meeting privately with two members of the STATE Department. (LOL) The very same guy had wired $100,000 to Mohammed Atta several months before.

You may think this is all co-incedence, but it stinks to high heaven to me. They've had us under a nuclear barrel. We may well be waiting for Mushareff to fall, and THEN take out his arsenal once and for all.
