Will USA still give over $3 billions yearly to Pakistan?

Well Pakistan's intelligence services and police are nutoriously corrupt. I think honestly the higher ups might not have known anything. Think about it the facility was searched by security forces shortly after being built in 2003. However sources say Bin Laden didn't move in till 5-6 years ago meaning he wasn't their till 2005.

Also check points were erected in the past few years due to the fighting between Government forces and Pakistani Taliban. However according to Osama's wife Bin Laden didn't leave the compound for the last five years. So the security forces check points would not have spotted him.

Also their were no phones or electronic devices in the compound. They also burnt all their trash within the walls. Only two men routinely left the compound. Also according to Pakistani Authorities their are several walled compound in Abbottabad the security forces wouldn't have any reason to scrutinize the facility.

Osama was very careful to make sure his facility stayed below the grid. The neighbours were alittle suspicious but they too were clue less. Another thing you have to remember is the Pakistani intelligence service is corrupt and fighting an insurgency.

In the end I actually believe nobody at the top of Pakistan's Government were likely aware of Osama's location. I also don't believe that the Pakistani Government was looking for him just like they aren't pursuing Afghan Taliban. Pakistan has its own Taliban to worry about and traditionally don't care about what happens to Afghanistan.

In the end I think the US should put requirments on the delivery of military aid. The US should say "Okay we want the Pakistani Army to take action on these locations, we want re-inforcements and better trained troops at this border check point, we want to see these Taliban leaders targetted, we want to see these terrorist camps destroyed. Comply with these demands and we will give you the 3-billion in military aid.

Essentially make the Pakistani Army and Government work for their money. Dictate how the money will be spent. But I don't think it would be wise for the US to pull all of its aid, that would bankrupt the army and lead to Taliban taking over large swaths of it. You have to remember that Pakistan is fighting an insurgency too. If Pakistan were to be weakened Taliban or Al-Quida could get their hands on a nuke or two. Or almost as bad seize control of most of the country.

So I think the US should demand more of Pakistan and dictate how the money is spent. But to pull out all the aid would really be very bad for the US and the world.
