#2 an explanation for how Bin Laden lived undetected inside Pakistain for many years and how US forces were able to penetrate Pak airspace and launch a ground operation.

That may seem like a contradiction, but IMAO, the key to understanding Pakistain is to think of not as a country, but as collection of geographically co-located groups, tribes and factions engaged in a Hobbesian war of all against all. You can apply this recursively to discrete entities like the Army or the ISI.
