Osama killed in Pakistan

[Mamu]

Serious Question:- Is there any other country in the whole world and about who the world has such a low opinion -- who people laugh at more than this country -- and that is in every aspect -- their government, judiciary system, sports personnel -- I mean everything. I mean I am trying hard to find another country -- and closest I can think of is Somalia, possibly North Korea and who else (of course Americans will probably say Iran).

this whole thing stinks. i don't buy it.

Pakistanis are in a fix - if they say they were not aware that Osama lived in Pakistan (and I emphasize on the word Lived because he was not hiding in caves or mountains or forests etc, but was living in a mansion a stone's throws away from a premier military establishment of the country in a city just 50 miles from the country's capital) then it shows the gross incompetence of the Pakistan Govt, Pakistan Military and its Intelligence services and raises serious questions about whether it is capable of carrying on its so called "war on terror". If they are not aware of the world's most wanted man living in their country for 5-6 years then can they do anything at all about the widespread terrorist groups in the country? If, on the other hand Pakistan acknowledges that it knew of Osama's whereabouts (very low possibility of Pakistan admitting it though :giggle:) then they stand guilty of protecting Osama Bin Laden!!!! Ek taraf kua toh doosri taraf khai hai Pakistanis ke liye ab.....

Gilani: It's failure of world intelligence

Pakistan Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani said here on Wednesday it was “the failure of intelligence in the world, not just in Pakistan but in the United States as well” in not locating slain al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden so far. Mr. Gilani made the remarks when asked by reporters to explain the presence of Osama in Pakistan territory and that too for several years. After a meeting with French business leaders, Mr. Gilani said Pakistan needed world help to combat its “number one problem,” that of terrorism. Negative messages He asked the West to refrain from sending out “negative messages” against his country. “International security and the fight against terrorism are not the task of a single nation. We need a global strategy to fight terror and we need the support of the whole world.” Lack of clarity French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe, in remarks just hours before Mr. Gilani's arrival, said: “In our eyes, the Pakistani position lacks clarity and I hope we shall have more clarity as a result of this visit. It is a little difficult to imagine that the presence of a person like bin Laden in a compound in a relatively small town could go unnoticed. It's a subject that calls for questioning.” However, Mr. Juppe later softened his stand, saying he raised the issue with Mr. Gilani over dinner. “The reply was that it was a failure of the Pakistani intelligence services, which they have addressed. I hope this will be a turning point in the right direction. The Pakistani Prime Minister assured me of his will to cooperate,” Mr. Juppe told news channel France 24.

Gaanv ke kisi jameendar ka ghar lagta hai..koi soch bhi nahi sakta that the world's most wanted terrorist could be residing here.

Well done to ISI and all Pakistani security forces. CIA obviously will try to take all the credit.

The first the Pakistani authorities knew about the operation came when one of the American helicopters involved in the raid crashed at the Bin Laden compound. “Immediately our armed forces were asked to check whether it was a Pakistani helicopter,” Mr. Bashir said. Although Abbottabad is home to a major military academy and three military regiments, Mr. Bashir said none of these institutions required sophisticated defenses that could have detected the impending raid. Once the helicopter had crashed it took 15 minutes for military personnel to reach the site, he said.

:cantstop: Are you (and your green flag waving brigade) still proud of your Nincompoops (ISI and Military) Sir_Retard? Listen, even I was suprised as to how the Americans got in there, but at least I wouldn't thump my chest -- before knowing the facts, cuz I would like an idiot. But then that has been the hall mark of you and your brigade here -- nothing surprising. Just another point added to your name.

Pakistan warns against further raids "We feel that that sort of misadventure or miscalculation would result in a terrible catastrophe," he said. "There should be no doubt Pakistan has adequate capacity to ensure its own defence."

China hails death of Bin Laden, defends partner Pakistan

Chinese spokeswoman, Jiang, made a point of standing by Pakistan, Beijing's closest partner in south Asia, which has faced criticism from U.S. lawmakers and others that the discovery of bin Laden hiding so close to Islamabad showed Pakistan had done too little to fight terror threats. That criticism has raised the possibility of a widened rift between Washington and Islamabad. "Pakistan stands at the forefront of the international struggle against terrorism," Jiang told a regular news conference, after her initial statement on bin Laden had appeared. "The Pakistani government's determination to fight terrorism is staunch and its actions have been vigorous. Pakistan has made important contributions to the international struggle against terror," she said. "China will continue staunchly supporting Pakistan developing and implementing its own anti-terror strategy based on its own national conditions."

Posturing and sucking up. Posturing on part of Pakistan when they claim incompetence which they think is a lesser crime than say being complicit. Damage has been done and any self respecting Pakistani's pride should be hurt. "Sucking up", China has to say it at this stage, just like Pakistan has to support actions against China's noble prize winner

Now it makes more sense, something looked out-of-synch earlier.

Pakistan warns America not to stage any more raids ISLAMABAD – Pakistan warned America Thursday of "disastrous consequences" if it carries out any more raids against terrorists like the one that killed Osama bin Laden, and hit back at international allegations it may have been harboring the al-Qaida chief. But the government in Islamabad stopped short of labeling Monday's helicopter raid on bin Laden's compound an illegal operation and insisted relations between Washington and Islamabad remained on course. With calls from some U.S. lawmakers to cut aid to Pakistan following the raid, the European Union said it would not turn its back on the nuclear-armed nation that is seen by many as key to helping negotiate an end to the war in Afghanistan. The army and the government have come under criticism domestically for allowing the country's sovereignty to be violated. Some critics have expressed doubts about government claims that it was not aware of the raid until after it was over or scolded it for not reacting quickly enough and shooting down the helicopters. Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir's remarks seemed to be aimed chiefly at addressing that criticism. "The Pakistan security forces are neither incompetent nor negligent about their sacred duty to protect Pakistan," he told reporters. "There shall not be any doubt that any repetition of such an act will have disastrous consequences," he said. Bashir repeated Pakistani claims that it did not know anything about the raid until it was too late to stop it. He said the army scrambled two F-16 fighter jets when it was aware that foreign helicopters were hovering over the city of Abbottabad, not far from the capital Islamabad, but they apparently did not get to the choppers on time. American officials have said they didn't inform Pakistan in advance, fearing bin Laden could be tipped off. Elements of Pakistan's army and Inter-Services Intelligence agency have long been suspected of maintaining links to Islamist militants, mostly for use as proxies in Afghanistan and Pakistan. While the country has worked with the United States to arrest many al-Qaida operatives since 2001, suspicion lingers it is playing a double game. [Related: Afghan vet: The enemy is still dangerous] The leaders of Britain and France, as well as U.S. officials, have said Pakistan has questions to answer over bin Laden's location in a large house close to an army academy in a garrison town. Bashir said it was "absolutely wrong" to blame the ISI. "After all there was information within the U.S. system about those who were ultimately, eventually responsible for the 9/11 (attacks), so it's not for me to say that the U.S. government or the CIA failed to prevent that," he said. While some U.S. lawmakers have taken a tough line, President Barack Obama and other American officials have been more cautious, realizing that downgrading or severing ties with the country would be risky. Bashir said perceptions that Pakistan's ties with Washington were at rock bottom were untrue. "We acknowledge the United States is an important friend," he said. "Basically Pakistan and U.S. relations are moving in the right direction." EU spokesman Michael Mann said Thursday "there can be no doubt" Pakistan would remain an important partner in the region even amid the allegations. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110505/ap_on_re_as/as_pakistan_bin_laden_69#mwpphu-container :cantstop:
