Agree. We wouldn't have gotten this far without the Pakistani help. Chalk up another plus for Sec. Powell, too.
UBL may be in Pakistan but he's pinned down. The fact that he couldn't impact the Afghan elections is very telling, considering what his influence used to be. We'll get him in time, of that I'm certain.
For the same reasons you stated, I don't buy that the Pakis are sheltering him either. No more than we "sheltered" Atta and those 18 other pigs.
