I seriously think that army had no clue of the operation and by the time they realized it was too late.
Lies upon lies. They are just trying to hide their incompetency.
The manner in which we have handled the whole affair is incompetent and weak, to hide facts in order to not offend those who probably do not give a damn about Pakistan is really useless.
Whatever policy we adopt in future, we have to be clear and non apologetic towards those who are not following Islam but use it to bully others into following their own agenda.
We need to be clear that OBL was a terrorist.
Hamid Mir's interview of OBL after 9/11 revealed that OBL gloated about the attack and congratulated those who did it.
He did not claim responsibility but his stance showed that he was not following Islam.
He also accepted that his network was responsible for killing 20 Pakistani soldiers in cold blood in Somalia.
This rascal was no Sheikh of Islam and this should have been hammered all across the media and through state posture that anyone supporting him is our enemy since we have evidence of his stance being pro terrorist.
We actually have been weak in narrating the bitter truth for fear of negative backlash, however the fact remains that this shall be detrimental to our cause in the long run.
If we do not draw the lines, someone else will draw them instead.
However on military knowledge, i would reiterate that there is no way this was not done without mutual understanding.
The military protocols in place by Pakistan Army are not understood by most here and in wake of this event we are losing perspective that our military capability is respectable and our junior cader of officers, NCOs and soldiers are highly motivated and veterans of WOT.
To top it all this was a strategically important area, no way that the QRF which has night fighting capability was not capable to intercept such an action if it was indeed unilateral.
Even if i believe they evaded us somehow, no way that after the firefight started, the QRF and other GSF units would not have rushed in and engaged the unidentified intruders if this was unilateral.
You may criticize the lack of guts displayed by GHQ, ISI and GOP which led to such a narrative, however do think that these same troops have done extremely well in competitions, exercises, peacekeeping missions, anti terrorist operations, air assault operations etc.
These same troops fired at US troops which landed in Angoor Adda, not because they hated Americans but because it was military protocol to not allow anyone to land their boots without permission.
I once sent a person in my team for a survey in a similar area and when he took some snaps of the vicinity, within five minutes he was held and the camera was checked to see what he was upto.
There can be a lapse of security but the magnitude is not realistic to me, to say that everyone was sleeping in this area and only woke up after the force of 40-80 US troops carried out an operation for 40 minutes is not possible.
Is this embarrassing, yes it is.
Any why is this embarrassing?
Because we are so desperate to appease the people whom we can never truly appease...the crazies who listen to and praise goons like OBL and will come up with any excuse on his behalf.
Can you appease such people?
No.
We actually are dishonoring the memory of thousands of our martyred troops and civilians by coming up with this narrative and line of action, just out of fear of the tafkiri rascals whose pinup boy OBL was.
This is to all the Pakistanis...the civilians, the soldiers, the men, the women and the children.
We are sorry that we did this despite your sacrifices at the hands of such tafkiri rascals whose very existence is a blemish on this earth.
We are sorry that we still lack conviction/courage to openly declare them our enemies and be proud of those that kill them.
