In the OP video, you can clearly see that Rumsfeld is finding it hard to defend Pakistan given the charged environment then. But he used 'however' quickly to rise to defend Pakistan. It was the jerk Leon Panetta who decided to blackmail Pakistan into making concessions in Afghanistan using the OBL raid. Panetta is the architect of the US-Pakistan rift! He was in personal aggrandizement mode, enjoying the limelight. Otherwise, Obama, Hillary, Luger, Hagel, and Kerry were much more soft toward Pakistan.
There are more Rumsfeld videos where he defends Pakistan.
Hi,
Even if Mr Panetta was against pakistan---pakistan still needed to be defended by its generals and defended rightly---.
Dear Mastan,
It is great how you have taken my expression of anger for the Pakistani establishment and connected it to me being a china cutter even though I'm still a student. The point is, that Pakistani generals have not been able to take me into confidence with regards to OBL raid and it will always be a safe guarded secret. Even if Kiyani came out and said that we helped USA, would not be able to take common Pakistanis into confidence. Although it could have sure helped a lot the quote "american media and the american public" and obviously you would know that better. No one cared about the Pakistani people.
Dear Sir, people are extremely touchy with regards to the capabilities of our army. The black hawks came in the night time scores of Kilometers into our territory to takeout the very real or imaginary OBL, shattering the image of Pak Army as a strong force in the minds of people. And you think that Kiyani could convince Pakistanis that we were working with the US to take down OBL who was near the PMA. Why did the Pak army not take down OBL if it knew for itself. Was the frail man too much to handle?
I was in 10th grade when i saw the videos of the smoking compound in Abbotabad early in the morning and I already knew that Kiyani Sahab wont be taking me into confidence. This case of OBL could have been handled in a much different way and the one that I am living with is difficult for me to digest.
I do agree that I would never admit OBL's presence if I knew and would have fought till death and not admit it. But I guess someone did fail to do that in Kiyani's era and then we did not handle the consequent situation. And I still believe that Kiyani could have taken the WEST into confidence but not the Pakistani people.
Hi,
You came in strong like if you knew everything---like you were a professional. If you are a student---then act like one---if you don't know how to defend your motherland then ask and learn---.
But don't confront me and tell me to drop my motherland to the wolves---. Don't tell me to give up my motherland just like that---.
