Muse,
Once again i fail to see the light and once again you try little to clarify what i am missing.
I have looked at a piece or two in this thread and commented on the non viability of reorienting 2-3 divisions of our infantry towards more mobile role, while in parallel reducing the number of...
No doubt this rascal needed to be dealt with and his death is welcome news not just for USA but for Pakistan as well as all other countries affected by his nefarious ideology.
Let us hope this helps in
1) Stranglehold on the extremists.
2) Assessment of current COIN effort and concrete...
You are misreading this.
The reaction which was expected of ISI/Army was to stop any foreign troops unless it was a jointly coordinated and sanctioned operation.
The reaction does not mean to protect OBL who was enemy number one for Pakistanis as well and whose death is a welcome news indeed...
Hello Muse,
We discussed the technicality of the matter and the need for boots on ground exceeds the need to mobilize additional divisions for airborne/air assault operations.
SSG has been increased to division strength so we have enough mobile operators when needed and certainly in Swat we...
So it would have been better not to search for him and instead of using our assets to help in his capture/elimination we should have helped him escape to some other less objectionable area?
Just so that the world did not ask such a question?
The world needs telling that this was a scoundrel...
I just do not agree with this attitude
When there is no success, the only reason which is cited for it is a lack of effort.
When there is success, all that comes in way of acknowledgment is
"so you never really put in an effort before."
Sorry muse but there could be many facts about how OBL...
So speaketh a newbie with only 18 posts under his belt, kindly stick to the topic if you have finally decided to post instead of engaging in such hue and cry.
We are not boasting anything.
This operation could not have been possible without cooperation from Pakistan (any form of cooperation)...
Wow...really great cooperation.
I think this was even more global my friend.
I bet the sub had a russian crew so that ISI agents in the Indian Navy did not send out an alarm.
I bet all the rest of ISI agents were evaluating the snazzy high G maneuvers being carried out by the French and...
The details of the package may not be known to most of the people involved and i do not disagree with that.
However the trolls here want to discredit Pakistan and paint it as helping Osama which is downright retarded.
Unless only an F-22 was used, there was no way this was not cleared by...
So this happened on US soil or in India which makes Pakistani sources unreliable?
Give it a rest pal.
Who is not giving credit to USA?
This OP could not have occurred without cooperation between Pakistan and USA.
Only your overwhelming desire to discredit Pakistan's contribution in an...
Well that is just plain old stupid, i guess the media if it tows this line is a pit of vipers which is hellbent of portraying an image of Pakistan which is completely negative.
He was enemy number one of Pakistan as well.
I hope that some more clarifications would come to settle these...
Muse, that is not reality check.
No one noticed and no one knew?
This OP was carried out near an area over which no allied force can operate without really high level clearance based on evidence.
No need to worry, the man was not protected by anyone but was killed in a cooperative operation between USA and Pakistan.
This is all that matters.
What is there to be embarrassed about?
Muse,
There are a few very talented people with a very special beret i know who were off the radar for a few months doing recon in the North /North West of Pakistan.
Not everyone knows the details about everything, and not everything is revealed to everyone.
Can i say with certainty who was or...
abuse and obfuscation?
Certainly without any evidence if you point your finger at me, i shall vehemently deny your accusation and ask for evidence.
Since OBL escaped a joint task force, Pakistan was rightly bitter about the accusation since it was not like we helped OBL to escape Tora Bora and...
You really have a one track mind don't you?
The same man was sitting in a cave a few hundred meters in range of US special forces, Afghan army and a lot of tribals and managed to vanish.
Play your blame game elsewhere and do not ruin the occasion.
Period!
Actually when USA bombed the mountains, OBL was eventually surrounded in mountains of Tora Bora where he made good his escape.
So unless you wanna seem like a troll here, i suggest you familiarize yourself with the historical facts.
Thanks.
Well it happened before and US special forces were there when OBL escaped, the cost of that has proven to be huge so let us not assume that US is blunder proof and Pakistan is completely inept.
Still, it is good that he is finally dead now and that is all that matters.
