Whose Side is Pakistan On?

Arguably, al Qaeda's.
Pakistan’s top military spy agency has arrested some of the Pakistani informants who fed information to the Central Intelligence Agency in the months leading up to the raid that led to the death of Osama bin Laden, according to American officials.

Pakistan’s detention of five C.I.A. informants, including a Pakistani Army major who officials said copied the license plates of cars visiting Bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in the weeks before the raid, is the latest evidence of the fractured relationship between the United States and Pakistan. It comes at a time when the Obama administration is seeking Pakistan’s support in brokering an endgame in the war in neighboring Afghanistan.
It is clear what Pakistan desires for an endgame in Afghanistan: The return of the Taliban. Before 9-11, the Taliban pissed off almost everyone else in the world, so they were wholly dependent on the patronage of Pakistan, which was just what Pakistan wanted.

  1. And the world gets to see how a dirty, squalid little shithole of a country benefits from holding nuclear weapons... they can openly fuck with the most powerful of nations.
