The details around the OBL assassination (hey, call a spade a spade, guys) just illustrates how screwed up Pakistan is. The guy was an arab foreigner with an entourage living in suburban Islamabad for cripes sake. In a house built specially for him. I’ve been to Islamabad: it isn’t a big place. He went there because he figured that his friends (our friends?) in the Pak government would protect him and keep him safe.
10 Rupees will get you a Krugerrand that the only reason we knew about him was because his protectors judged his usefulness to be at an end. It is doubtful that BHO or CIA really did much other than take the order “We would very much like you to kill this naughty terrorist boy for us now”…”Yeah, right, you want fries with that, Mr. ISI?”. Our ‘spooks’ probably stood behind him at the I-Bad Safeway or Blockbuster video check-out without recognizing him: “yes, I for to am wanting the infidel running dog film Mary Poppins, do you have?”.
Pakistan is a screaming, howling disaster. With nukes. Like Iran only no one’s in charge, or Afghanistan with 10 times the people. Inside the good news (and don't get me wrong, it is very good news) is….more bad news.
