I think the USA was a bit naive about the leaders in Pakistan. Musharraf was known to have a relationship with bin Laden. Musharraf was also in place when Kahn was known to have sold nuclear technology to North Korea and others.
I always thought Musharraf knew where bin Laden was and speculated several times "Where is he Mushy, in the (Pakistan) palace basement?" But, to think others are involved and what about the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Who was involved in that besides two al Qaeda operatives?

Islamadad: Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif (click here) received money from al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden to contest elections against Benazir Bhutto-led Pakistan People's Party in 1990, a new book has claimed.
The book titled 'Khalid Khawaja: Shaheed-i-Aman' by Shamama Khalid, the wife of former ISI operative Khalid Khawaja, claims that Sharif's pledge of introducing an Islamic system attracted Khawaja as well as Osama.
"Chief of PML-N Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif received funding from Osama bin Laden, founder of al-Qaida, to contest elections against Benazir Bhutto-led Pakistan People's Party (PPP) after the end of Zia regime," the book states.
But even though Osama funded Sharif heavily, the latter backtracked from all his promises after coming into power, the Dawn reported on Monday....
When does this disaster of a country become clean of the corruption? The UN Security Council has some work to do to be sure Muslim countries are safe from such problems. I would think the USA should consider Pakistan an open threat yet today.
We should have gone through Pakistan on the way to Afghanistan. But, what did Rumsfeld do? Issue millions upon millions for jet flight space.
It can't be stated too much. Pakistan took the money from the USA and purchased weapons from China. China took that money and built 100 new nuclear warheads.
...The book also carries a note from former Inter-Services Intelligence director general, retired Lt-Gen Hamid Gul, which claims that Khawaja was very close to Sharif for some time.
According to the book, Palestinian Sunni Abdullah Azzam, who is also known as the 'father of global jihad' and Osama's mentor, introduced Khaweja to the al Qaeda head honcho...
If President Obama hadn't authorized that strike to remove bin Laden, the lousy no good would still be there. Russia and China should not be so blind to realize the danger in their own backdoor that American soldiers still die for to secure an unsecured country. The only way Afghanistan and Pakistan is ever going to be secured is to isolate them with strong border provisions of all the surrounding countries, including Iran. The countries surrounding Pakistan and Afghanistan have relationships with Russia and China.
Iran has borders with both Pakistan and Afghanistan. That should be more than interesting. Did they ever get that super-drone fixed?
Isolate and investigate.
