CIA director Leon Panetta is in Pakistan

 

The media is reporting that the visit it supposed to be smoothing over the ruffled feathers of the Pakistani government.

I ask WTF???

The Pakistanis are upset that the US didn’t let them know going to engage in secret operations on Pakistani soil.

Hummmm…. The Pakistani government allowed Bin Laden to live in safety within spitting distance of the Pakistani Intelligence training facility for at least 5 years.

It is reasonable to assume that the Pakistani government in general or key individuals within that government were protecting Bin Laden.

The loud denials of the Pakistani officials notwithstanding, They KNEW he was hiding in their country. So it wouldn’t have been in our best interests to inform the Pakistani officials, since it’s likely that someone was on Bin Laden’s payroll and they would have warned him to get out before we attacked.

What I don’t get is WHY we’re apologizing! The Pakistanis have supposedly been our allies in looking for him, so apparently they saw a profit in misdirecting the search. It would be interesting to see how much Bin Laden money flowed into Pakistani hands oh starting about 5 years ago?

I think the only message that Panetta should deliver to Pakistan is Shut the hell up, Stay the hell out of our way, wipe Al Qaeda out of your country, and IF YOU PLAY MORE DUPLICITIOUS GAMES with the US, you have only to look at Afghanistan to know what we will do to YOUR country.

I’d love to see him deliver a message like that, then just get back on the plane and come home.

But then again I’m an evil Conservative…
