Unfortunately contrary to your believes , Pakistan is a large country, with vast areas of the land 100% remote , and its very easy also to sneak into some remote areas in a normal pick up
We had massive earth quakes , 2005-2006, where Millions and Million of local residents were moving , and when such huge number of people move , its close to impossible to track 1-2 people which could have been used to sneak in unwelcomed guests.
While our Nation was busy , providing food and shelter to victims of earth quakes and flood , its possible 1-2 people may have slipped but our Army/Airforce / Nation was helping victims of floods/earthquake
As far as, the owner ship of the home , its very easy to get such permits in Pakistan - things in real estate are not as stringent in Pakistan as they are in US and also the building structure (barbed wire, and huge walls) are common in Pakistani homes, to prevent theifs
Such structures are common as 711 store in US or Mcdonalds.
According to the reports the victim (alleged mastermind of certain operations) was house bound 100% so it was impossible even if Pakistani Army/Police had check posts how can you spot someone if they never get out of their home.
And there are millions and million of homes where people don't know their neighbors
One of the biggest problems that Pakistan has not been able to explain to US media look Pakistan is not US
a) In Pakistan , we do not have the infrastructure for tracking real state property (Things are done on paper and pencil)
b) Also , we do not have even electronics in Policing , and we still use pen and paper just to show how weak our local law structure is
c) Also we do not have drones to patrol the borders to track any one coming from remote mountain areas into Pakistani territories we requested
drones for years and helicopters
Really in all honesty , US was
never serious -
One may ask ok so why did you not spot the UNPAID property tax?
Reason : No one pays property tax in Pakistan lol so its common for ppl not to pay taxes ...
Bottom line is if US has shared intelligence , we could have captured Bin laden a live
I do agreee 100% we have FAILED on control management and public relations aspect
Because we could not ......explain things
We always were open 100% to work together but what we got was a backstabbing
which will take decades to heal if it ever does
This is 100 times more painful then the F16 betrayal in 80s
I think Pakistan has already paid a huge price by being humilited by our so called ally
And I think we did not deserve this kind of PR
The misconception US citizens / folks have about Pakistan is its like USA , you punch in 2-3 items in computer and you get information , you run a scan on a number plate you get information - you do DNA test you can figure out who lived there
Look this is Pakistan , we are not even what US was in 1895 , in term of industrial power , the train tracks we got are from 1800 the ones that British built for us
70% of Pakistan lives in Farms , with no cars, no Electricity or barely any technology
There is a huge gap in civilian security infrastructure in place and Pakistani Police is the
weakest organization in whole country ....
##########
The Educated , politicians in US , know this fact I mean you can find Hiliry clinton's confession about mistakes in US policies when Pakistan was left on its own in 80's and also John Kerry is pretty clear he understands
And there was a reason why US paid 10 billion or 7 billion commitment to improve policing and other local gov run organizations like police etc courts
Army's job is to Protect borders
Police's job is to watch civilian / criminals locally and our Police System is weakest in Asia
This was POLICE'S Failure !! and Failure of our Local institues
Not as much as the Airforce / Army / Navy or even Government
I think We need to
FIX OUR POLICE , and special operation units (Police, SWAT)
and I think US and Pakistan could work together on this item
THIS IS
PAKISTAN POLICE FAILURE BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DETECT OBL
LETS FIX PAKISTAN POLICE AND US SHOULD GIVE US SOME ASSISTANCE
NYPD would be great training start for our local police some solid tracking systems
Really Army ? or Airforce I mean they are not even trained for policing they are trained to fight other Army and Airforces not search for 1 random person
I mean if you have a tooth ache you go to dentist not to Chiropractor
US has been courting , politicians, army , navy airforce every one but really its about our POLICE !!!
If we had a SOLID POLICE AND JUSTICE SYSTEM , I think things would have been different
Army & Airforce or Navy also none of our politicians know anything about Policing
Policing is not their job - nor they have professional training in such areas
Its a simple logical answer
A policeman in Pakistan makes 50-100$/month , and with absolute minimum training
these units are not trained for the professional job of investigating something at level of OBL which is an international incident
A SOLID POLICE FORCE IS ANSWER AND WAY FORWARD A FORCE AT LEVEL OF INTERPOL IF WE CAN ACHIVE THAT THEN ITS GOOD
