Creative Americans blamed Pakistan for missed cruise missile stike
@MastanKhan @Horus @AgNoStiC MuSliM @araz
my random ramblings for your viewing pleasures
Americans are the masters of mindcraft they can pull off a positive story in their favour & they know their mainstream media will sing in unison all in the name of patriotism and “freedom”.
Background
When OBL was first sited during Clinton era,
why wasn’t he targeted?
Apologetic view. Oh the Drones were not armed back then.
Did/ has CIA done all its killing via drones only?
clueless view: ??? what?
Naughty view: Clinton was more interested in getting into the knickers of Monica Lewinsky back then.
(A) Any further apologies/ explanations on this failure?
Hell yea. It was the Pakistanis that made an “untraceable” direct phone call to OBL… warning him about an incoming American Cruise Missile. The Missile which was flying over Pakistani airspace & Pakistan was informed in advance about the intended target. So OBL got off his wife, took a bath, changed clothes, put his shoes on, called his driver , got in his truck and drove away along with his wives, goats and friends and set a new world record of beating a cruise missile. Had the Pakistanis not been informed, they won’t have made the “untraceable” phone call directly on OBL’s satellite phone and he wont have got off his wife, took a bath, changed clothes, put his shoes on and called his driver to drive him away from the Tomahawk missile cruising towards him. Damn the untraceable phone calls and Toyota trucks.
What Helped the Americans to pull of OBL raid and claim sole glory?
The circumstances & personalities in Pakistan.
· A vindictive & petty president.
o President of Pakistan by accident with PPP/ Feudal history of hostility towards PA
· COAS on Weed.
o Clueless, ill-informed, self-serving & docile (as illustrious as Gen Jahangir Karamat). He originally thought the attack was on Pakistani nuclear installations.
· Hateful Haqqani
o More of an American viceroy rather than Pakistani Ambassador with morbid hatred towards Pakistani armed forces & found the chance to score against his most hated Pakistani institution)
What do above 3 have to do with the OBL raid and the fallout and all that?
Zardari/ Haqqani might have had some indication of something happening but information was kept out from COAS. OR, if they didn’t know, their follow-up actions (& words till today) were such that showed that they basked in the joy of seeing Pakistan military being ridiculed and its image tarnished. And Kyani? Well he never knew much and was mostly busy looking for his next cigarette.
Aftermath?
In one stroke the previous failures & mercy dealings were forgotten although the failure in Torabora was borderline treason & malicious when the American forces were told to stand down allowing OBL to escape. Gen Tommy Franks apologizes by blaming the Afghan allies but doesn’t go further.
but this (letting OBL go or stay in mystery) does make sense when you recall the news about OBL’s medical treatment by in American military hospital in Dubai.
The Media adds.
When the American administration graciously “cleared” Pakistani military leadership about knowing / harboring OBL in Abbottabad, another story was spinned saying that maybe middle/ lower ranking officers were responsible for keeping OBL in Abbottabad for 6 or 8 years. (another note for readers ignorant of how military works, no middle or lower ranking officer has any say or prior knowledge about who will come and replace him after 2 years which is maximum stay in one place before his rotation to another station. Expecting a cabal of lower ranking officers keeping it secret for nearly a decade from the rest of the leadership and the world sounds good for movie/ book plot but hard to pull off in reality.
Continue the onslaught on Pakistan for its “deceit” and “double game”. Foreign media discovered a former Pakistani COAS (for few hours) Gen Ziauddin Butt who “speculated” that Gen Mushrraf either “knew” about OBL in Abbottabad and he also mentioned a civil servant Mr shah who was responsible for the housekeeping of OBL. (dear readers, do keep in mind the timeline, Gen Ziaduddin was given the boot as Musharraf took over in 1999 and the OBL raid took place in 2011). Although one can set aside his personal grudge (and chance to settle score ) against Musharraf but one must wonder how he knows all this despite being out of the military for over 10 years?
Did the foreign media not think was he the one who made the “untraceable” phone call to OBL when Clinton was nailing Monica? I mean a TomaHawk was heading towards OBL in Afghanistan?
Another convenient omission made by American narrative is the ISI contribution towards tracking OBL. The Abbottabad place was raided before and found empty but the key lead was provided by ISI when it passed the suspicious movements of the AQ courier. ISI had no prior knowledge of the person outside Pakistan but it was godsend for CIA that had this guy marked outside Pakistan and thus it served as a crucial piece of information. But this breakthrough was not shared with ISI (as the narrative goes).
Other honorable mentions
· What became of OBL’s wife?
o Where is she? What did she say? Did American’s ask for her from Pakistan? Could Pakistan refuse to hand her over after it had been “exposed” sheltering OBL? (as per popular narrative).
· Why no mention of Chinook?
o Yes there was a recovery helicopter sent by Americans (“sans the sexy stealth”) that came to pickup SEAL’s & equipment after the crash? It gets a passing reference in one documentary & audience is left to believe that one “stealth Hawk” was able to carry the crew of two helicopters + intel retrieved + the OBL body.
Some Contradictions
· OBL raid & Benazir’s Comment to Frost
o Ok, not a conspiracy argument but since we are talking OBL, one cant help but recall that short clip where Benazir mentioned the death of OBL and David Frost never interrupted or clarified with her.
o
· American Marine Col Bob Papas claim
o OBL was killed in Tora Bora raid. But the information was kept secret to keep the war going.
· Gen Musharraf maintained that OBL couldn’t survive without dialysis due to his kidney problem and needed constant medical attention so he was in Pakistan (or American hospital in Dubai) all the time and the American drone mistook a goat for OBL during Clinton time and the American special forces were chasing his discarded turban in Tora Bora
Why So sentimental?
a laughable excuse by the American administration about not showing Binladen’s body was that it will aggravate Muslims in the world and will put American lives in danger. Talk about being subtle after invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq leading to the deaths of millions of people though direct military action and decades old sanctions/ blockade of Iraq… the American administration was suddenly worried about the sentiments (and danger to Americans) after killing their prime
Hi,
Thank you for your comments.
The drone at kandhar was armed and itching to launch.
