1. Because that's where al Qaeda is
But I don't see how it helps McCain. Personally, I believe we should be working with Pakistan and coordinating a joint effort with them.

If anything, though, the fact we're still going after bin Laden I think just shows that the policies Gramps supported don't work.

2. Bush wants to salvage atleast one part of his legacy by claiming to be the guy who
got Bin Laden. It's as simple as that.

3. Because McCain, for all his rhetoric about not going into Pakistan
is OBLIVIOUS to the fact that Bush and the DoD gave the green light about a month and a half ago to commanders on the ground to go ahead and cross into Pakistan in the course of combat ops.
