From the NY Times, Obama advisor and former CIA analyst Bruce Riedel says Pakistan's government played us for suckers:

Mr. Riedel is one of a chorus of terrorism experts who see the terrorist network's base in the mountains of Pakistan as America's greatest threat, and perhaps the biggest problem facing Mr. Obama's new team.

He speaks angrily about what he calls a savvy campaign by Pakistan's government under President Pervez Musharraf to fleece Washington for billions of dollars even as it allowed Al Qaeda to regroup in Pakistan's tribal lands.

"We had a partner that was double-dealing us," he said during an interview in his house in a Washington suburb. "Anyone can be snookered and double-dealt. But after six years you have to start to figure it out."

Gee, it only took six years and billions of dollars to figure that one out? Bunch of geniuses we've got in Washington.
