Pakistan was willing to protect him too (that's where he was found at the end) but the US didn't invade them. Why is that? Because Pakistan has nukes?

I believe the above post wanted to drill down why it was hard for Afghanistan to give him over.

After that the Pakistan discussion can happen if energy exists.
