Ok, back to the discussion without going around in circles:
We have the PA facts about what happened - NATO will not accept that it acted 'deliberately', but it will try and provide a 'face saving' explanation for both sides.
An apology, at this point, is likely, and it appears the GoP is willing to return to 'normal' if given an apology.
Comments?
From the statements being given by the civilian government and the military, 'an apology is not enough' statements, it seems the issue may drag down for smoetime.
-NATO supplies blocked permanently, says the FM and Rehman Malik
-Shamsi to be vacated by Dec 11
-Bonn conference bycott
-A official document sent to the UN to see in the matter that US has violated UN mandate, but it just gets regarded as a piece of trash ( Oh, the irony)
-All relations with ISAF/NATO to be reviewed on intelligence, military, political level.

Thats because the Osama raid was planned in great detail.
This was a hot pursuit into Pakistan gone wrong.
US and NATO will need to come with a detailed report stating what went wrong.
They will interview the ground commanders, the soliders who took part in the raid, re-interview them for any discrepancies, check facts on the ground.
Its a long and tedious process.
Are you sure this was a hot-pursuit gone wrong?
Explains it all perfectly. The white flag raised by the soldiers at the post, but still gunned down.
The facts from the Pakistani side are established, good enough for me and most of us.
Again, the image says it all.

AA guns are not good enough when you have a variety of SAMs at your disposal.
At night, it is difficult to shoot down Apaches with 12.7mm guns, hovering at a distance.
Time has come to issue MANPADS to selected posts, and give a strong message.
The amount of troops has increased in some agencies , according to GOC Peshawar.
