"Some in the U.S. press have suggested that Pakistan lacked vitality in its pursuit of terrorism, or worse yet that we were disingenuous and actually protected the terrorists we claimed to be pursuing. Such baseless speculation may make exciting cable news, but it doesn't reflect fact," Asif Ali Zardari wrote in a Washington Post opinion piece.
OK so lets see if I got this straight. The number one terrorist in the world builds a compound approximately 6 years ago for one million dollars (where the money came from is unclear at this time) just 35 miles from the capitol of Pakistan. The building is 8 times larger then any other in the surrounding area. The walls are 12 to 18 feet high topped with barbed wire. There is no phone service, internet, or trash pick-up. The house is 100 yards from the gate of the Kakul Military Academy, an army run institution where top officers train. Surely over the past 6 years these officers driving by the compound must have rubbed their chin and thought….Gee I wonder who lives in that house?
Either that.... or it must be The Kakul Military Academy For The Blind!
There were no guards protecting the compound. That should be a tip off right there. So ask yourself this. If you were UBL would you build a compound 100 yards away from a Pakistani military base unless you knew you had nothing to fear? Would John Dillinger occupy an apartment above the police station?
Update:
According to Mansoor Ijaz a respected Pakistani commentator said the Pakistani military owned the land UBL bought to build the compound. However, this story keeps changing so who knows.

Bottom line. Pakistan has nukes. I guess we're handling the situation delicately so they don't go over to the "dark side" entirely.
And it's all because of this guy:
A Q Khan probably the most dangerous man in the world. I'd like to seen this guy taken out next.
