Since Osama was found and killed in an area with such a large Pakistani military presence, described as the Pakistani version of West Point, so close to their nation’s capital of Islamabad, what should the US relationship with Pakistan be going forward?

Considerations: the war against the Taliban, foreign aid, the war on terror (or whatever it’s called these days), Iran, India, etc.

Thoughts?

I think most Americans are fairly ticked about this right now--while politicians--are trying to smooth it out. Even Hillary couldn't look the camera in the eye--when she stated that Pakistan was involved in this hit. They weren't--they're already complaining that we violated their air space.

What Bolton stated was that we're worried if we don't supply them with billions--the nukes they have may be used by terrorists--as they fear the Taliban will come to power.

I say non-sense--just take out their nuclear capabilities--and stop the cash flow. It's obvious that Bin Laden had been living in this compound for years-or since 2005--and probably even earlier than that-while Masherriff--pulled the blinds over G.W. Bush--stating "Bin Laden was not in Pakistan, all the time."

You can't tell me that someone who built a fortress right next door to a military academy and only 30 miles from Islamabad was not known to all--including top level government officials. Hillary knew it too. Last year she was in Pakistan--and mentioned to one of her aids--that she knew that they were hiding Bin Laden and knew exactly where he was. In fact, I'll bet that Bin Laden's right hand man is there too.
