Haha. You are still sleeping my friend. Pakistan cannot **** americans. we GAVE them the BASE for $$$ We are Killers for $$$. We cant kill our own master!
If you would have read the FIRST POST, you can see the time line.. News is TODAYS! But just to compare, a SIMILAR news is given from JUNE 2011..
âUnprovokedâ: DGMO gives details of aerial assault – The Express TribuneIt was clear from General Nadeems briefing that there was misleading information being provided to the Pakistan military from the start. Just before the attack, a Pakistani officer at the regional tactical center was informed by an American sergeant that their special forces had received indirect fire from Gora Pai, located some 15 kilometres away from Volcano post. And after 7 minutes, a woman officer informed him that the fire had, in fact, come from Volcano, which had been hit in retaliation.
Sorry, you may have your facts wrong. Shamsi base was NOT Pakistan's property! The airfield was leased to the UAE by Pakistan and was used for years by the rich Arab sheiks from Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries for falconry trips.Shamsi Airbase is Pakistan's property not America's property.

Pakistan Air Chief Rao Qamar Suleman had also disclosed that Pakistan’s Shamsi Air Base is under the control of United Arab Emirates, not in the control of Pakistan Air Force while briefing a joint in-camera session of Pakistan parliament on 13 May 2011.
However, it is apparent that the lease may have now been cancelled as the UAE has not impressed upon Pakistan to review its decision of asking the United States to withdraw from Shamsi Base. So, as things stand, the US may have to vacate Shamsi by 11 Dec 2011 after all. Sources say that U.S. planning is under way to leave the base by the scheduled date.
According to U.S. government sources, the United States has spent months preparing for a possible eviction from the Shamsi base by building up other drone launching and staging capabilities inside Afghanistan. Vacating the base was seen more as an inconvenience rather than a critical blow to drone operations which the United States also conducts from Afghanistan and possibly elsewhere.
There is no need to 'ask' PAF to retaliate.....they are the ones with the eyes on the horizon...they should respond automatically and ask the intruding forces to move back, land or be shot down.
Simple.....and thats the Standard Operating Procedure.....for most of the nations.
Remember the Hainan island incident...
“The response could have been more effective if PAF (Pakistan Air Force) had also joined in. However, it was no fault of PAF,” the statement said.
“The timely decision could not be taken due to breakdown of communication with the affected posts and, therefore, lack of clarity of situation, at various levels, including the Corps Headquarters and GHQ (General Headquarters).”
Good God Almighty! Another twist in the tail!! How did Pakistani officials not have known that their two posts, 'Volcano' and 'Boulder' were not occupied, clearing the air strike?US officials, quoted in the Wall Street Journal on Friday, claimed Pakistani officials cleared the air strike without realizing they had troops in the area.
Pakistani officials at a border coordination center gave the go-ahead to American airstrikes that inadvertently killed 24 Pakistan troops, unaware that their own forces were in the area, according to U.S. officials briefed on the preliminary investigation.
When called, the Pakistani representatives at the center said there were no Pakistani military forces in the area identified by the commandos, clearing the way for the Americans to conduct the airstrikes, the U.S. officials said.
Officials in Islamabad couldn't be reached to comment on the U.S. allegations. Pakistan repeatedly has denied its forces fired on the Americans.
Pakistan doesn't have veto authority over strikes along the border, U.S. officials said. But the North Atlantic Treaty Organization makes contact with the center to make sure its operations don't put Pakistani troops or aircraft in the line of fire.
Looks like Pakistani & NATO negligence may have caused this accident.
Pakistan Cleared Fatal Hit, U.S. Says - WSJ.com
Friendly fire happens in every war. It's just a pity Islamists and the enemies of the west within Pakistan have taken this opportunity to try and cause divisions between Pakistan and NATO/US.
