India wasn't hiding OBL, and thus, not "swarmed". You imply OBL was invited?
Whether OBL was in Pakistan or not, before 9/11 CIA agents were present in Pakistan, and after OBL they'll still be there.
And you say that the GoP was hiding OBL, well that's a different discussion..
That is because they didnot want to take any chances. They were highly skeptical about Pakistan's loyalties. In other instances, the US tipped off Pakistan well beforehand but mysteriously, when ever the US and Pak forces arrived to capture the militants, the place would be empty!!!
Frankly speaking, IF and that's a big IF, OBL was hiding in India and US took him out in a hot pursuit, then I'd be really thankful to the US for doing what our security was not able to do as these type of b@stards are like a disgrace to the whole human race.
That's the problem, both sides are skeptical of eachother and mistrust is in place.
However, the U.S. went for own succes, to clean up its image and went in and did the operation by itself.
Afterwards, portraying in the media that we were hiding OBL, that our country indeed was not to be trusted etc.
We were ridiculed, not for the first time, by the U.S. and its media.
Pakistan is the main ally of the U.S. and we all know how "popular" the U.S. is in Pakistan among the people.
It puts pressure on our government to act against the U.S. when these raids are conducted without any co-operation or notice to the GoP or the PA.
And when the GoP doesn't act, then the domestic issues become bigger and the Pakistani public becomes even more agitated and not amused of the American presence in and around our country.
We need the unity an the backing of our own people to succeed in this WoT, and I feel, the way America is handling these sentiments is reckless and not the right course.
It's all double faced policy, the U.S. says that ties are good and that we have to work towards mutual understanding for the sake of our people and the nation.
But at the same time, they conduct this raid, let alone the drone strikes, where our government is not able to take matters in its own hands and assure the Americans that we can do the job by ourselves.
It puts immense pressure on our already fragile government.
And while they're faced with this WoT and the shaky relations with the Americans.
One must not forget that we also have our own domestic problems which increase because attention is diverted elsewhere.
I agree that I am glad that OBL is dead, I don't think it matters much, it's much like when they got Saddam Hussein, it's not gonna be a turning point, but it's an achievement that most likely boosts morale, and ofcourse boosts President Obama's chances of a 2nd term as head of state.
But this must not be at cost of the GoP, the Army and the people of Pakistan.
I still condemn the way the Americans perceive to be our loyal and trustworthy ally, but in public, they continue to stab us in our back.
If they were as open and friendly to us, as they are to Isreal right now, then the WoT would be close to an ending or successive stage in our own country to say the least.
