that is trueWhat-a-bou-tery
That includes both parties. Americans for leting him "slip" and Pakistan to "allow him in and stay house pest" in the country.
So basically the then Army Chief of Pakistan committed treason because of whom we are forever marked as terrorist sympathizers and terrorist safe havens?
Mullah Omar leader of Afghan Taliban, on the other hand managed to live for 10 years & peacefully die in close proximity to an American base in Afghanistan
why not apply the same logic and suggest that US military commanders at the Base were complicit in letting Mullah Omar live just accross the base and never get discovered?
There is no way Pakistan was not part of this game. And I am guessing there can be two reasons for Pakistan not claiming its role in this whole drama; first is the possible backlash that could have been unleased in form of terror attacks on Pakistan with the narrative being that Pakistan sold a mujahid to the Americans--suicide bombers were going off left & right in Pakistan in those years
No one gives a f about Zardari. Every one knows who is incharge of security matters in Pakistan and it's our gernailszz. Pathetic morons who take oath to defend this Land and sellout like roadside sluts. Sellout like kayani and Co are in charge to defend Pakistan, No wonder this happened.That's true. Zardari is the real traitor and he probably got money from Obama.
the criminal silence of Pakistani leadership can be pardoned.
My aunt saw quite a lot of the action during the helo explosion from a distance and grandparents heard shooting (they live on EME Kakul Rd). Needless to say, they were in awe of all the action the Americans pulled off.no one was silenced.
one guy who lived near by and saw the whole event started reporting and video uploading on facebook and other social media.
they raised the place to stop it becoming a mausoleum of Osama.
I have a swatai friend who talks of multiple helicopters flying all day and the Americans going to Terbella as well. it was impossible to silence when the national and international media was there.
it was like a festival. people from local and other places were visiting the place and being told to stay back by half hearted officials
the officials were sheepishly hiding their red faces for the claims of the Americans so I dont recall anyone telling locals to stay quiet.
Zardari wasn’t a head of security... he has no special army perhaps a man who had control, who has first hand reports from its Army was sitting somewhere in pindi..Pak President Asif Zaradari sounded very happy getting a telephone call following the raid according to Obama!!! How could Pak survive those traitor maggots?! Mujib looks almost "angelic" in front of these bastards.....
Breaking news of Osama raid to Pakistan was easier than thought, says Obama

WASHINGTON: Barack Obama has claimed in his memoirs that breaking the news to Pakistan of a US raid into Abbottabad to kill Osama bin Laden was easier than he had expected as the then president Asif Ali Zardari understood the US position.
The book — “A Promised Land” — was released on Tuesday and gives a blow-by-blow account of the raid by American commandos that killed the world’s most wanted terrorist on May 2, 2011 inside his compound in Abbottabad.
Obama wrote that he knew ordering a military strike inside an allied state violated its sovereignty but he decided to go for it as he did not want to miss the chance to take out the Al Qaeda leader.
“Whatever we chose to do in Abbottabad, then, would involve violating the territory of a putative ally in the most egregious way possible, short of war- raising both the diplomatic stakes and the operational complexities,” he wrote.
The former US president revealed that his two closest aides, the then vice president Joe Biden and defence secretary Robert Gates opposed the raid. The revelation shows why Obama released the book after the Nov. 3 elections as it would have hurt Biden, who is now the President-elect.
After the raid, Obama called many American and world leaders, including the then president of Pakistan.
Zardari “showed genuine emotion, recalling how his wife, Benazir Bhutto, had been killed by extremists with reported ties to Al Qaeda,” Obama wrote.
“I expected my most difficult call to be with Pakistan’s beleaguered president, Asif Ali Zardari, who would surely face a backlash at home over our violation of Pakistani sovereignty,” he wrote.
“When I reached him, however, he expressed congratulations and support. ‘Whatever the fallout,' he said, ‘it’s very good news'."
Obama then asked his military Chief, Mike Mullen, to call his counterpart in Pakistan.
“Mullen had put a call in to Pakistan’s army chief, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, and while the conversation had been polite, Kayani had requested that we come clean on the raid and its target as quickly as possible in order to help his people manage the reaction of the Pakistani public,” he said.
Obama said he ruled out involving Pakistan in the raid because he believed that certain elements inside Pakistan maintained links to the Taliban and perhaps even Al Qaeda.
He wrote that when it became increasingly clear that Bin Laden was living in a hideout in Abbottabad, he decided to go for the kill.
“Based on what I’d heard, I decided we had enough information to begin developing options for an attack on the compound. While the CIA team continued to work on identifying the Pacer, I asked Tom Donilon and John Brennan to explore what a raid would look like,” he wrote.
“The need for secrecy added to the challenge; if even the slightest hint of our lead on bin Laden leaked, we knew our opportunity would be lost. As a result, only a handful of people across the entire federal government were read into the planning phase of the operation,” he said.
Although he acknowledged that “Pakistan’s government cooperated with us on a host of counterterrorism operations and provided a vital supply path for our forces in Afghanistan,” he decided not to share the information with Islamabad.
“The fact that the Abbottabad compound was just a few miles from the Pakistan military’s equivalent of West Point only heightened the possibility that anything we told the Pakistanis could end up tipping off our target,” he added.

Do you really believe this propoganda that Osama was in Abbotabad??Pakistan academy trains cadets. its not involved in fighting. PMA is a very big landmark in Abbotabad spread over hundreds of acres so it has proximity to of thousands of homes in Abbotabad
its a shame Osama managed to live his last days in Abbotabad but it was Pakistan tip off of Al Qaeda courier that helped in locating him
Mullah Omar leader of Afghan Taliban, on the other hand managed to live for 10 years & peacefully die in close proximity to an American base in Afghanistan
