Pakistan - Just Plain Incompetent - Maybe?..........
All the criticism of Pakistan being complicit in harboring OBL or protecting him because he was living right under their nose near what some are calling Pakistan's equivalent to West Point - Right?

Well now we're hearing that the CIA set up a house within eyesight of OBL's compound and had the compound under surveillance for quite some time - Right?

Well did Pakistan know that this CIA outpost was there as well? I don't think so - they missed that too.

What this says to me is that Pakistan is just plain out and out incompetent as they let both OBL and the CIA exist right under their nose - next to their equivalent of West Point.

Seems to me that Pakistan should be equated to Colonel Klink and the Sgt Schultz from Hogan's Hero's.

1. They're so lame, we could have trained people in Pakistan to
fly planes into Bin Laden's compound.

2. Incompetent? Or corrupt?
Some Pakistani intelligence officials may have known about OBL, and maybe CIA. Money buys silence.

:hi:

3. If you're really interested, this interview with Graeme Smith on Democracy Now! is...
...very informative. Graeme Smith is an award-winning reporter who has been living in Pakistan for years and he has a very interesting take on the whole affair- including some observations about how likely it was that the Pakistani government/ISI would have noticed bin Laden living right in the middle of one of their largest, upscale, military communities.

The more I read and see the more bin Laden's house looks like it was built for one man's house arrest.

Democracy Now!:Graeme Smith Reports From Pakistan on Questions Raised About Osama bin Laden's Home & Killing 1 of 2
New Zealand Herald:History of Bin Laden's property unveiled

And why set up house arrest for bin Laden? Bin Laden's death: 'Why kill the goose?'

4. well its because
Pakistani people had way better issues to take care of. they obviously had no control over the US CIA, after the case of Raymond davis, where the whole country protested but America still manage to outlaw Pakistan and took him away within a WEEK! second of all with 70% poor uneducated people who work from 6am-9pm, do not give a crap about osama. third with all the suicide bombing happening every other day and NO IT IS NOT AL-QAEDA PLOTTING THOSE, ITS DEPRESSED PAKISTANIS THEMSELVES doing it. third, that country barely gets electricity, in the normal weather of 100 degrees, and millions of lives take of innocent people just to find a fucking usama, whose pics are not being released, they definatly dont give a rat's ass.
