CIA confirms: Pakistanis not notified of OBL takedown over fears they would "jeopardize the mission"

So why are we still giving them billions every year? "CIA: Blitz, Pakistan Not Warned To Avoid Alerting Bin Laden," from AGI, May 3 (thanks to C. Cantoni):

(AGI) Washington- The CIA did not inform Pakistani authorities of the blitz over fears that they could "jeopardize the mission". Leon Panetta, head of the CIA and future Secretary of Defense, broke the silence surrounding the mission that ended Osama Bin Laden's life in his compound in Abbottabbad and, in essence, stated that Washington does not trust its allies in Islamabad. In such a situation Pakistan "might alert the targets", Panetta added during his interview on Time magazine in which other details of the blitz were revealed. . .

With friends like Pakistan, who needs enemies?

Hello Robert. To your question, "So why are we still giving them billions every year?"
My answer: Because nonsense has replaced common sense.

when l listened to the Beltway political talking heads.. they all say about how hard it is for the pak govenment to do this or that.. blah blah.. it is disgusting when these people cannot even have a backbone!

Ooops. Make that,
"Because non-sense has replaced common sense."

This reminds me of what pakistan did in 1947, when just after the partition of India, lots of Hindu girls were kidnapped by muslims boys and muslim families and hidden. These girls were forcibly married off to muslim men, forcibly converted to islam and forced to stay back in pakistan when their families moved to India.

Every few months the government of pakistan would allow Indian scout teams to look into houses to ensure that no girl is being hidden there.

Each time the pakistan govt insisted on being informed of the operation in advance and each time (surprise, surprise....) no girls were found.

This was because the govt bodies themselves warned the kidnappers that on this day at this time a scout team will come looking for these girls.

And lo and behold..........no girls, no kidnappings.

In 1947 pakistan named itself the 'land of the pure', but as we all witness today, it has become the land of the impure.

OT
Some muslim luminaries have said that bin Laden was a "devout" muslim and I fully agree. Why?
Because of abrogation. Abrogation means devout is just another way of saying extremist. Also, that makes "moderate" muslims into "insufficiently devout" muslims.
Religion of Peace is pure taqiyya.

Porkistan wasn't notified of the operation to kill Osama bin Maggot because it (not he) was that country's herrow, wasn't it?

Sources at defence.pk/forums report that OBL's contractor has been captured by the Inter Service Intelligence Agency. There will be no "interrogation"; the man will be exhonerated, in exchange for silence.

Pakistan's first whitewash notice:

http://www.mofa.gov.pk/Press_Releases/2011/May/PR_152.htm

One thing i am noticing on the Pakistan forums: local news is NOT being posted. In fact, even the "Frontier Post" (Peshawar, Kyber) is using UK and US copy. Too hot to handle I guess.

So why are we still giving them billions every year?

Because White House does not have a spine to make Pakistan accountable. And what does it cost the White House? Nothing! The billions of dollars of foreign-aid is the comman, hard-working American's tax-dollar!
You see, White House is appeasing Islam on the back of hard-working, tax-paying American citizen. That's why!

America shouldn't just end the billions of dollars of aid to Pakistan which is the global headquarters for Islamist terror, she should also take out Pakistani nukes before they fall into the hands of Taliban/Al-Qaeda elements of the Pakistani military.

Since political correctness and misplaced concerns of human rights will not allow United States do what is required to completely rout Jihadists from Afghanistan, they should also quit that Islamist hell-hole.

Hello Bamaguje. I totally agree with your post. However, the new "sense" sweeping the West is "non-sense" not "common sense". A RESTORATION of common sense is urgently needed. Down with Islam, down with political correctness, down with "willing" dhimmis.
Afghanistan is a task best described as Sisyphean. You can't win hearts and minds where there are none, that is, they have cubes vice hearts, and a vacuum vice mind. If there was any progress to be made there, it would collapse like a House of Cards once we pulled out.

"So why are we still giving them billions every year?" True dat.

"So why are we still giving them billions every year?" True dat.

Today's rat-paks aren't in Vegas. They're in Islamabad.

wikileaks, u s statements, this..

so, if its all untrue untrue zardari, why didn't the u s tip you off? you a a criminal and a clown.

only in islam can absolute clowns of your stature govern a country. george w and his stuffups aside. you all speak as if you are 13 year old girls, he said she said... youve been made to look a clown.. by the u s, but you never needed their help. you reinforce it with every lying word out of your god forsaken cake hole.

how can the u s, and the rest of the sane word. ever believe anything else you ever say? ever? liar.

your records as both a country and as an example to honesty and enlightment are appalling. you now, truly, have nothing to offer the u s. or anyone else who doesn't care. you had no credibility to begin with. youve laughed at the u s, in their pain, for 10 long, cruel years. all the time being woeful in every respect of your medieval culture/religion/governance. especially in curtailing terror activists. pathetic, corrupt liars in a world of them. so to become president, zardari, you have to lie and be more corrupt than everyone else. and now, in your worldwide shame of guilt, you have to lie your guts out.

president obama showed guts, real guts. especially after carter and iran. imagine if it had failed and been shot down, 10 years after the initial occurance? it would have looked bad.

i think he understands the way you pricks operate. for it to succeed, they could never tip their ally, pakistan, off.. you would have moved him.. its predictable as you have such a long history of it.

(i reckon obama has been saving a card up his sleeve for election time. hopefully he'll announce an end to funding, now that the spoilt saudi sultan has had his ugly to start with head blown apart like a melon under a bus)

"So why are we still giving them billions every year?" True dat.

Why are we giving Pakistan billions of dollars a year?

They have nukes, nuclear facilities, nuclear wastes, and a brutal intelligence service. The hope of the US government is that Pakistan will maintain some sort of control over its nukes and nuclear technology, so as to not export it to countries like North Korea, Syria, Iran, and to international terrorist groups which will smuggle them into Western countries.

Also, the use of Pakistan territory is vital to many US operations in the Asian continent, including and especially Afghanistan, but also operations in countries like Kazakhstan, etc.

I imagine the advisors of any President telling him that withdrawing aid from the Pakistani government will significantly increase the probability that a nuclear exchange will occur, or that a nuclear device will end up in the United States. It's not so easy to decide to summarily cut off all aid to Pakistan, regardless of its loyalty.

Given that not telling Pakistan anything goes hand-in-hand with success, I sincerely hope the American govt. carries out further independent sorties against the Medina Mafia in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Be like Dad, keep Mum! (2nd World War poster)

Apparently there is some news that the president wasn't notified until it was underway for the same reason.

I cant believe none of you have mention it...its just the Jizya. We stop they give the nukes away and start killing first the Indians, then Israel and then The US.

good for CIA which means us!

Bin Laden liked gambling, wamonanising ... he had nice time with some young chicks in Beirut in his youth, could n ot live without youngest wife, now he has got the virgins in "paradise" as promised by his sugar daddy Mo.

American government is very slow to realize that how much ever you appease the Pakistan people with billions of American dollars,and other goodies,a Muslim will never ever bitray another Muslim-howmuch ever bad he is. Their 'takyyia' teaching of the koran tells them to make use of the usefull kafirs like Amercians to the full extent and at the same time do not expose thier brothers to them.

I believe Pakistan was protecting Osama Bin Laden all along.
The so-called mansion looks more like a prison to me.
Do you really OBL could live next to the Pakistan Military Academy without the knowledge of the Pakistan government?
Since Osama Bin Laden was probably at death's door (if you believe the medical reports), his value was greatly diminished. This was more about Obama's prestige than it was about the value of one sick terrorist.
And maybe he's dead, who cares?
