I don't know why we didn't hook up with India in the first place. I'd trust them over Pakistan any day of the week.![]()
I'll tell you why, there was just the little of issue of them being pro-Soviet.
Or we can go with the guys who pay the Taliban and lied about hiding Bin Laden. Hmmmmm. Decision, decisions.![]()
The US has talked to the Taliban and will talk to the Taliban to reach a peace settlement.
As for Bin Ladin, he may have been hidden, he may not have been. The US government didn't make a huge fuss over it, and they also have one of the, if not the largest CIA operation set-up in Pakistan. They didn't manage to find him till a decade later.
Anyway, I like the US as an ally. These things are just the ups and downs of political relationships.
