Did the Pakistan government know Osama bin Laden was there?

Here's some advice: when you're going to copy and paste posts from other forums don't pick the ones posted by users named things like "Anonymous Coward". A username like that is probably a good indicator that their posts might be offensive or ignorant.

I think it's silly that people are now getting all assy about the billions of aid we send them because of Osama bin Laden. How about before we knew he was there? All of those human rights violations weren't enough to stop the aid? That's some weird logic.

We only have a handful of troops there and they'd be happy to see us leave.

I'm not sure why you think they need us so badly. They have nuclear weapons and they also have one of the largest militaries in the world.

Don't forget (or, I'm not sure you ever knew this), but they let us carry out military operations in their country. We need them a lot more than they need us.

Disgraceful. All you need to do is look at the type of country we've produced, then look at the type of country the Bin Laden mindset has produced (like Afganistan under taliban) and what arguement do I need to make? Where people can mostly say whatever they want in public vs one where you can be beaten down in the street by religious poliice for not wearing the right clothes or listening to music? So why am I thinking bad thoughts about radical moslems? Blow me sir.

Telling people to leave the country and go live elsewhere is so 2004.

If that's all you've got (other than to blow you), I'm not going to put much effort into reasoning with you.
