Navy SEALs Were Ready if Pakistan Failed to Free Family Held as Hostages

[VCheng]

Here are some things to keep in mind
The couple's plea for help mention both obama and trump
The US claims it tipped the Pakistanis about the couple's where abouts
The family refused to fly back on an American plane

The most important thing to keep in mind is that the story is such that both sides can claim being the heroes to their own respective audiences. That a win-win situation like this happened in such a timely manner is to be appreciated, without going too deep into details, if you know what I mean.

The more I read about this, more I am inclined in believing that it was a crude attempt by yanks to frame Pakistan. Get the family into Pakistani soil, create a drama on the border and send their men to "rescue" and "save" American lives right on the Pakistani border. Its another thing how ISI and PA used this situation to its advantage and made the CIA and JSOC looked like chimps.

They restarted the narrative on "haqqani inside Pakistan" and what better than a kidnapped guy who says on record "haqqani" 3 times in an interview of few seconds.

The article full of American bravado and hubris. This is meant for local audience.

Pakistan has not been that intransigent on intel based operation in the past. But the Americans want to portray us as villains. They want to portray their failure as a result of Pakistan giving refuge to Haqqanis. Nothing can more preposterous than this!

Americans have failed because they did not want to succeed. They are here to stay and wont leave Afghanistan soon as this is a strategic foothold. A country across Atlantic finds itself a neighbor of Russia, Iran and Pakistan! USA will be foolish to think of packing up and leave.

Yes they are here for a long long stay. Since many decades we heard about Asian pivot in the geopolitics books (in french we say "pivot asiartique")

Yes...Absolutely. US Navy SEALs are a bunch of incompetent rednecks. Even the lowliest of Pakistan's army recruit is better than the entirety of the SEALs.

obviously, otherwise they would have been the ones to rescue the couple.

love your and Gambit sarcastic post about Navy Seals.

Afghan forces have lost more then 100 men in last few days at the hands of Talibans INSIDE Afghanistan. This narrative that Haqqanis have got safe heavens in Pakistan is looking silly with each passing day.

Indeed it"s looking silly, but only for people like us who are aware of what happening in Afghanistan. But what is happening in Afghanistan is not known by westerns normal people... so the manipulation is still going on :

" look we told you Pakistan has safe heaven for haqqani, that's why they were moving the Boyle family there..." You know very well bashing silly thing over years, people finish by accepting those silly thing as truth, or are so fed up that they do not pay attention anymore and let their governement to do what they planed.

Of course they were, no misplaced fart goes off in Pakistan without SEAL team six ready to deal with the consequences just like OBL raid where they completely and unilaterally entered Pakistan undetected, had a campfire in Abbottabad, got their man and went on their merry way before any Pakistani was roused form their slumber.

LoL, for five years, the Americans didn't have clue on the whereabouts of the hostages but they were ready at the last minute.....who they trying to kid.

No one.

You obviously do not know one whit about special operations forces regarding what they do, who does what, and how they do their things. When the article said the SEALs were readied, that does not mean they know the precise location, it just mean ONCE they are briefed and orders cut, each man is able to grab his gear and the entire unit moves without hesitation.

Point is it is the Pakistani army who rescued the Canadian family, NOT USA.

These things are always collaborative, and highers ups on either side work together to get the job done. What comes before collaboration is another story and what's printed after the fact both here and in the US can be a bit different.

I hope people now understand why the yanks are not Pakistan's friends but their enemy.

More like the town drunk who goes hot and cold with us, depending on how much brandy he's had.

They've been good to us on occasions, but other times they've been terrible.

If it wasn't for how they treated other Muslim countries, I'd have a pretty neutral stance towards them.

 

[gambit]

America and American r no ones friend but themselves.

What even funnier is that the stupid redneck populace here will devour all this narative and even burp with satisfaction.
Such is the state of people who think Hungary is in middle east.

If you want to talk negatively about an entire people, your Pakistan is ripe. You really want to go there ?

 

[MastanKhan]

If Spec ops are being run on the fly, means something has gone very wrong.

Hi,

All special operations operators are trained to operate on the run---that is always the first goal and target---something happens---opportunity arises---the team is already prepared---because it has trained in all possible scenarios.

Criminal is found---criminal is on the move---best available team will move in to avail the opportunity.

As long as everyone feels better at the win-win situation created, nothing is wrong with such "collaboration".

Yes there are crazy folks in Pakistan
But we do not go around claiming to be the annoying grandma of every nation. And we dont claim to have any moral superiority than the rest of the world. So do YOU really wanna go there????

Dont forget toppling governments in the name of exporting democracy and leaving states in ruins one after the other.
