"Finding" Bin Laden: Pakistan's Growth Industry
Much has been made of the fact that Osama Bin Laden was pretty much hiding in plain sight for over five years in a big house right in the middle of a Pakistani city. Many a talking head has wondered aloud how our supposed ally could have "missed" him. Many a politician has asked if our "anti-terrorism partner" could have actually helped hide the son of a bitch.
Buster will explain. Hell yes, they helped hide him! Pakistan is a slut-puppy, playing both sides against the middle. Pretending to help us track down Bin Laden was a fucking cash cow for them.
U.S. Government to Pakistani Government: "Howdy, pardner. Any Bin Laden sightings? We're still pretty damn sure he's somewhere in your country."
Pakistan (with fingers crossed) to U.S.: "Yes, we're sure he's here too, but no, we haven't found him yet. Additional funding would be a great help to us in our tireless efforts. Please send us another billion dollars."
U.S. to Pakistan: "Comin' at ya, pardner. The check's in the mail."
Pakistan to U.S.: "Praise be to Allah!"
