The immediate post-announcement focus is rightly on celebrating the retribution shot directly into OBL's face by a Navy Seal.
However, let's also discuss what this means for the US and Pakistan. Obama's speech obviously pointed to the positive aspects regarding Pakistan, their cooperation and that the death benefited Pakistan too.
I am mostly wondering how the fuck Pakistani citizens and officials allowed OBL to hide himself from the US in a populated part of their country. I don't believe people are good at keeping secrets anywhere in the world. If OBL was living in a densely populated part of pakistan, that basically means thousands of people through the grape vine intentionally chose to aid and abet him in his hiding. Fuck them. I'd also like to know more about the involvement of the Pakistani intelligence in this operation. Maybe they can save some face if they actually were the main source of the intelligence that lead to the operation but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.
My gut is telling me "fuck Pakistan" and that we should start treating the country as an enemy and realign ourselves with India (who can't all be as extreme as our Baasha.) In the end it depends on how much the current Pakistani government is really helping us and the details of this operation will shed light on that. If they can't show that they were fully instrumental in killing Obama they need to be cast aside as enemies. I think it's pretty clear their population is at odds with the US but that's another story.
The untouchable finds every excuse to slip in a moronic extrapolation of my views!
Regardless, both UK and the US have been absolute idiots in dealing with Pakistan.
Pakistan, as well as Bangladesh (used to be East Pakistan till 1971), was founded on hate, the hate of non-Muslims, and especially towards Hindus. That is why the founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, said, "The Muslims of India are a nation (separate from the Hindus)!" They did not want to coexist with others and insisted that the hallowed land that is Bharat be vivisected.
Any ideology, nation, or creed where hate is the basis, will never stand on solid ground. Pakistan, in its very recent history, has fabricated its entire history and fooled its people into thinking that they are indeed a "separate" people, culture, and origin and are thus "superior" to their neighbors in India. In fact, the word Pakistan itself means 'Land of the Pure'. Folks who lived for centuries as neighbors became bitter enemies when the partition of India occurred in 1947 and more than a million people died as a result. Too bad no movies of the Partition made it to the world stage and "oscars".
Ever since the creation of Pakistan in 1947, the USA and UK have supported it monetarily, militarily, and diplomatically and continue to do so even today despite knowing they abet, support, and give refuge to terrorists who wish to do harm to India and other countries. In fact, there is mounting evidence that the fanatical filth in the west (missionary vermin) support the secessionist movements in India such as the Naxalites (communists), Kashmiri terrorists sponsored by Pakistan (Islamist terrorists), and Christian terrorists in North-Eastern India (Nagaland, Tripura, Manipur) under the guise of humanitarian "aid" and 'development'.
It is because of India's principled non-aligned stand that the US took exception and decided to give credence to Pakistan. Despite numerous instances of cross-border terrorism in India for decades, the US and UK turned a blind eye and kept harping about "human rights abuses" in Kashmir supposedly perpetrated by Indian military personnel! Of course when it suits them, these same civilians became "insurgents" and "terrorists".
For decades India has been dogmatically stating that Pakistan is engaging in support and export of terrorism to no avail from these so-called bastions of freedom in the west (LOL). In fact, when India conducted its nuclear tests in Pokhran in 1998, the US had the audacity to impose sanctions on India! Of course, that didn't mean jack shit to India and they went ahead with it anyway! In 2001, when a terrorist attack happens on US soil, it somehow becomes a "world" issue. Even then, when all evidence pointed towards Pakistan and its ISI, the US invades Iraq of all places.
To anyone who thinks that the Pakistani government and its ISI did not know of bin Laden's whereabouts needs to have his head checked. The town of Abbottabad being in close proximity to the capital Islamabad and being an affluent area where ex-Pakistan military officials lived, there is no doubt that the ISI and some elements in the Pakistani government were shielding him.
The US gives billions of dollars in "aid" to Pakistan and they divert a large portion of it to train terrorists to attack India in Kashmir and other places. This has gone on for decades. In fact, the US has given a whole fleet of F16 fighter jets to Pakistan recently to fight "terrorists"! LOL.. who live in mud-huts and have rifles from the 1970s. Right, one almost wonders if the west is using Pakistan as a proxy to wage war against India in order to weaken its astronomical growth and inevitable rise back to the global stage as it was prior to the 1800s.
In the end of course, as the motto of India says, Satyameva Jayate (Truth will Triumph)!
On that note, I am supremely glad India rejected the US fighter jet deal since the US always has strings attached to every deal. India is in a great position now to pick and choose whom it deals with. Next to building its arsenal itself, India has to choose to ally itself with those who at the least do not support her enemies like Pakistan and China.
