American diplomats were told that one of the key reasons why they had failed to find bin Laden was that Pakistans security services tipped him off whenever US troops approached.
Pakistans Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISID) also allegedly smuggled al-Qaeda terrorists through airport security to help them avoid capture and sent a unit into Afghanistan to fight alongside the Taliban.
The claims, made in leaked US government files obtained by Wikileaks, will add to questions over Pakistans capacity to fight al-Qaeda.

This administration is going to DROP THE BALL on the War On Terror. They are already declaring “mission accomplished” even though an international criminal conspiracy shielded Osama in the wake of 9-11.

OBL being alive was the raison-d’etre for billions in US aid to corrupt Pakistani elites; the key was for Pakistani leaders to endlessly APPEAR to fight OBL.

They harbored him, and they are enemies of the USA, and they should DIE.
They chose.
They chose... poorly.
