IMO we are going overboard on this.
Everybody needs to understand the massive pressure that they are under from the Americans.
It can be very much a possibility that the top management actually knew nothing about OBL and its location and instead the middle and lower rung commanders could be complicit with the terrorists. I had read somewhere that the young captains and majors from the army were sympathetic towards the militants and were not favoring that they fight them.
Sir,
You heard some misinformation---the young captains andd majors are not sympathetic to obl----rather they are the ones who are against him----it were the older generals that were sympathetic to him----a few of them and they have seemingly been ousted a longtime ago.
But it is not believable that they would not sell him for $25 million dollars-----the pak generals sold others for $5000 a piece after 9/11----25 mil dollars is a big bifg amount and that also comes with a green card for self and family and a place to hide and new identity-----..
You can say one to two generals knew about it----when when the number grows higher---the marginal propensity for the leak of information gets higher as well---1 to 2 people can keep a secret of this magnitude-----isi cannot keep such a thing under the wrap-----it is stupid on the part of those who believe in that concept----.
Numercaillay and mathematically----it cannot happen-----. Let me re-phrase it---it can happen for a very short time----like a few days---amonst a couple of people-----but not for 5 years-----absolutely impossible-----. Pakistani intel system has holes in it like a strainer-----it cannot hold back any information-----its leaks are phenomenal-----and information leaks out of it like waste out of a sewer pipe.
You see the problem is not they failed---a failure can happen----we all understand that---. Where can you hide if you are a tree---in a jungle----oBL totally deceived the establishment----he did just the opposite of what was being anticipated-----no security detail at all----just a regular household right close to a millitary academy-----so close to the opponent that even the opponent cannot anticipate your presence.
He could have been ;living in a mansion in washington dc or any other place.
The problem is that the pak millitary has not come out swining and protecting pakistan against the media blitz that is being carried on by the u s media and the statements coming out of the u s congree etc----. Kiyani should have come out and confronted the onslaught---told the media in return how u s had failed to capture obl at tora bora----where the u s didnot even try to capture him----just let him run away----let him run away two more times----then he should have talked about how Bush told cia to disband the team that was hunting obl in 2007----then he should have talked about the pak millitary operations in waziristan durinh Musharraf's tenure----where pakistan would start a strike against the talbs and al qaeda on this side and the u s will move the troops away from the afg border----the us will start their own strike towards kandhahar----.
Now what the air force general has done----that is totally disgusting----.
