Boys collect metal pieces from a wheat field outside the house, seen background, where al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden lived in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on Tuesday, May 3. Local residents showed off small parts of what appeared to be a U.S. helicopter that Washington said malfunctioned and was disabled by the American commando strike team as they retreated, while Pakistan's leader on Tuesday denied suggestions that his country's security forces had sheltered Osama bin Laden.

It is obvious that Pakistan and other Eastern countries that we think are our friends are really foes. Now is the time for us to pull back from trying to protect these areas that want us dead. Stop all aid and get our military back home to protect our borders and handle illegal aliens and others that don't belong here and cutoff our support to them totally. We cannot afford to support and protect the world as we have done for the last 60+ years since WWII. We also need to restore our manufacturing industries and not allow imports without an import tax to make our homemade goods competitive. We need leadership in the White House and Congress that actually supports our country and not degrade it or sell it off to other non-ally countries.
