first of all this was never an intelligence failure, as OBL wasnt there....its just a drama, the cat will be out of bag soon.
suppose it was an intelligence failure, so what, it happens all over the world, e.g. US itself admitted that attack on iraq for WMD was intelligence failure, mumbai attackers used the same seashore where exercises were ongoing....
in this particular case, whom you call intelligence failure, US is the only country claiming that OBL has been killed, if he has been killed then where is the body? if he has been killed then why not burried? it is nothing but to defame pakistan and this taken new turn after R. davis.
Simply look at the timings, CIA faces retaliation in Pak, then wikileaks comes out instantly declaring ISI in terrorist list organization. when this strategy goes in vain, they came with the OBL's drama.
Now, coming to kayani's strategy, you are aware that image of Pak Army was deteriorated by these politicians during mush era, so kayani is playing safe and his last statement few days back is very important that "they are aware of everything".
1. So basically, it was not an intelligence failure but even if it was then what's the big deal because there are intelligence failures in the whole world.
2. The OBL incident is a drama because US did not burry (r?) the body.
3. CIA is getting back to ISI for the Raymond Davis affair.
4. Kiyani has a strategy because he said a few days back that "they are aware of everything"
And that is why he helped stage this drama in which OBL wasn't (was?) killed by direct US action on a venue near PMA for flight times + transit time + leisure time + drama acting time and still pakistani army had no idea and they scrambled jets only when this drama staged by (?) was over. And by keeping quiet he is strategising on the strategy.
And that is is his strategy of exposing Zardari.
Okay, I get your logic. I just need to grab a bunch of aspirin pronto and I will be back talking with you soon.
