Was The Pakistani Government Hiding Bin Laden From Us or Keeping Him For Us?

Was the Pakistani government hiding Osama Bin Laden from us or were they keeping him for us?
That's the question that everyone is talking about right now. We are all happy that Bin Laden is gone and the mastermind of terror won't be walking around to terrorize the world any longer, but many questions have cropped up since the good news of his death.
What kind of role did Pakistan play in all this? Are they friends or foes? Are they people that we can trust to work with in our continued efforts in the war on terrorism? Lets lay this all out on the table and take a good look at this map we have in front of us.
After 911, Osama Bin Laden becomes the number one terrorist on the planet. The largest man hunt in human history begins. He runs into the hills and caves of Afghanistan and this cat and mouse game with the US begins.
He eludes us for a couple of years. We come close to getting him, but he always finds another escape hole and runs off some where else.
Now the hills he was hiding in Afghanistan, are on the border of Pakistan, and many people think that he is making his way into Pakistan. All the while he is looking for a safe haven from one of his brother Islamic countries. He's not getting a lot of offers except from Pakistan.
I think Pakistan made him an offer shortly after 911, but he had to be very careful and it took a long time for him to be sold on the idea. I think Pakistan brought him in and showed him what they were going to do for him. They showed him the compound that they would build and how close it was to there army and how safe he would be. Bin Laden was a very well educated and disciplined man, and it was a very slow sell, but as time went on, it started to look better and better to him, as he was not getting any other offers for a permanent residing place, where he could run his terror organization from.
What a better location, right in the middle of a populated city, and the Pakistani troops just down the street just in case there is trouble. Brilliant ...right? Just one thing. The Pakistani government had other plans.
Bin Laden hides in those mountains for maybe two or three years and decides that sleeping on rocks is not very comfortable and he his starting to think about the compound that the Pakistani government is offering him.
We don't close off that border and he escapes into Pakistan, and the Pakistani government is reluctant to have us come barging into their country and look for him so they keep us out and they restrict our movement around their borders. This is all so that Bin Laden can get comfortable with his new home.
All the while the Pakistani government is working on us, trying to get aide from us in different types of ways, to help them with their government affairs and their own economic woes. There was an ulterior motive for everything Pakistan was doing and it wasn't because they loved Bin Laden and it wasn't because they loved us either, they were looking out for only themselves in this whole matter. They were putting together a strategic plan to get Osama Bin Laden, and rid the world of the biggest and most wanted man history has ever known and get something for themselves out of the deal.
Bin Laden moves into his new home and he lives there for almost six years. There is very little movement in and around the compound and the curious neighbors are told it is a military training facility and that was enough to keep them satisfied. After all, their were military all around the area. This kept the eyes and attention off the compound and gave Bin Laden a safe place to run his machine of terror.
Now the stage is set. The US, just last July gave an aide package to Pakistan in the tune of almost 8 billion dollars. Pakistan has what it wants now and turns it's back as the US forces come in and do their job. How else do you explain a compound, in the middle of a populated area, right down the street from 30,000 Pakistani troops, and US helicopters fly in, one explodes, then they run out and no ones hears or sees anything?
The explanation coming from both, the US and the Pakistan governments, is one of niceties and pats on the back. Pakistan is upset that the US went in without their knowledge or permission and the US is applauding the great friend they have in Pakistan. You are not going to hear anything different. Pakistan doesn't want any trouble from their Islamic neighbors and the US wants to keep the door open in case they are needed in the future.
Thus the world of International Politics.
Bottom line is, the worlds largest man hunt is over, and we have gleaned enough information to get the rest of these killers.

I agree Nan. I don't think that I would trust them but we did Bin Laden, and I hope we will start getting all the rest of those guys.
I tell the story about the man I knew who was wanted by the FBI. He moved next door to the head of the FBI. But unlike Osama, he didn't stay hidden, he went about life as usual. He turned himself in. voted up
Actually Fay, it wasn't a bad move on Bin Laden's part to live in that kind of area, but when you're the most wanted man on the face of the earth, maybe it really wasn't.
Nice to hear from you again Fay.
Well brian, you are happy that Osama is no more but how are you so sure about it that he has been killed?? where is his dead body? why wasn't it presented to public? the ruthless acts he has done, according to that his dead body should have been hanged infront of twin towers so that people could get a lesson of it.........bt its no where, n you still believe he is killed..strange.
If you believe Pakistan is a foe then ok but lets analyse the situation, have you ever considered the Osama thing, who trained him against afghanistan, iraq,kuwait iran nakistan itself...then his brutal killings were not considered terrorism bt when he attacked on America itself, Pakistan is culprit why? dear America gave birth to Osama n now winded up the story.
And the bargain of aide that America is trying to do is between America and corrupt politions only and its doing no good to pakistan...America has bought pakistan with the aide...do you know what aide means??????????
Nan, i m afraid but are wrong that brian has showed the due, my dear come and find out here, pakistan never hid Osama rather he was not in that compound....ask people around, this merely is a election stunt..
Oh he's dead alright, Al Qaeda even announced it. Where have you been?
I didn't say Pakistan was a foe, I asked the question; is Pakistan a friend or a foe? You answer the question.
And don't give me that, "America made Osama Bin Laden". That's as old as the hills. It's people like you who made Osama Bin Laden and you probably have more that your trying to breed into existence.
We gave your government the money, what they do with it is up to them, not us.
Those people that were living around that compound didn't have a clue what was going on.
O please Brian dear, stop being diplomat by saying "I didn't say Pakistan was a foe, I asked the question; is Pakistan a friend or a foe? You answer the question." dear me your whole article shows wht u meant.
and when it comes to you its old as hill...it basically is the root...its not ppl like us who make bloody osamas but its ppl like u who inculcate the seed. Al-qaida's announcement is as fake as america's.
and why r u being so personal dear, i m not prtecting my government, i know it is exploiting us but its not possible dont have clue of wht happening. i will believe this statement if you agree that you don't know whts happening around your own premises.
I'm being personal? You come on here and attack me and attack my country and you say that I'm being personal?
The Pakistani government used Bin Laden in a very calculated way and they got what they wanted and the whole world got rid of a mass murderer. Everything worked out.
Now you come on you're attack and say Bin Laden is alive and not dead, that America made Bin Laden. I'm telling you my opinion of what Pakistan did. Everything lines up. Because of Pakistan's action, they are not a government that I would trust. It's Pakistan who's the fake. They also murdered Benazir Bhutto.
Just because nobody saw Bin Laden at the compound, you think this is all a fake? What do you think the guy is going to do, the most wanted man in the world, is going to go for a walk down the street? What planet do you live on?
Ameica used binladin in a calculated way...if you have suffered coz of ladin,then its just the plant u have to harvest tat u urself sowed.
I have no idea what you just said Aamna.
Mr.Brain.U also answer the question that america is a foe or friend.Stop hipocratic behaviour.If america ask that pakistan is friend then why he violate the terretory of pakistan.Let it suppose that osama is in pakistan and u only know it then the right way is that u must inform pakistan to validate the matter or make a joint coperation to get a right solution with the permission of pakistan.Pakistani nation is great and alive nation.Pakistan didnot allow anyone to play with fire.My question Is that; is america allow such kind of operation in his own country without permission and knowlege of america???
They did. Read the article again. You think that Pakistan is going to let America come right into their borders and do what they did, with the Pakistan military right down the street? They knew and they let the Americans in at a price and then they turned the other way. Either that or you have the dumbest military in the world.
Dear brain.''These r my independant veiws''.I tell u a logic.U have no logical answer.U r playing with words only.Its very easy to talk on other countries.Remember the damp caward army of urs in V.NM. In which they excape like rat it is real price they pay.
Stop wasting my time. You have no logic and no army. Your government wouldn't make it if it wasn't for the US. Who are you and what have you accomplished? You come at me and start talking about my country, I didn't attack you.
You're giving me your views and I'm giving you mine. You think I'm going to just sit here and let you talk bad about my country, you're crazy!
You will not post another comment on my Hub.

I like the way you presented the two sides. We all know that they knew that he was holded up in the large house, who is kidding who. They are not our friend. They let him continue to operate and do nothing about it, and went along with the plan. I think that they tried to makes fools of the US by not telling us, that he was in their country. They didn't think that we would ever be as bold as to enter their country! I marked you up.
