Exactly. Musharaaf doesn't have control of his country. He has to tread the thin line between helping the USA, and not appearing to be bending over to the USA at the same time. Many of his people hate the USA and support Bin Laden. This is no secret, either. And it is also no secret that there are people in the Pakistani authority who are actively helping Bin Laden. For example, when Clinton launched cruise missiles into Afghanistan.... they made the mistake of telling Pakistan about it. Someone in Pakistan tipped off al Qaeda, and Bin Laden narrowly escaped. Musharaaf also has to deal with assassination attempts on his life. Pakistan is a mess..... So there isn't much hope that we're ever going to get Bin Laden. He will remain missing.... until eventually he will probably die, but we'll never know for sure.
