Sheltering bin Laden was universal “intelligence failure”
Suffering bastards they are, nobody suffers more than them. And no: Gilani won’t tell us where Mullah Omar is, despite the billions he stole from the U.S.
Pull my other leg: Pakistan’s PM denies Pakistani complicity in sheltering bin Laden
There is no way he lived in that military neighborhood all those years without people knowing and approving at the highest levels of the Pakistani government. “Gilani says Pakistan not ‘complicit’ of sheltering Osama bin Laden,” from APP, May 10 (thanks to JW):
pISLAMABAD, May 10 (APP): Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani has insisted that Pakistan had not been “complicit” in sheltering Osama bin Laden and said the fact the late al-Qaida leader was able to live undetected for so long in Pakistan, was down to a universal “intelligence failure”.
There does indeed seem to a considerable lack of intelligence in Pakistan these days, but this is ridiculous.
In an interview with the United Kingdom’s leading daily the Guardian, Gilani rejected claims Pakistan had secretly known Osama was living in the garrison city of Abbottabad. “There is no complicity. I think it’s an intelligence failure from all over the world,” Gilani said, who is in London on a five-day official visit to the Untied Kingdom.He denied suggestions that elements within Pakistan’s military may have been aware of Bin Laden’s hideout. He added: “Why should we do that? We have suffered the most.”
Asked if Mullah Omar, the Taliban leader, might be in the country, the Prime Minister replied: “I don’t know. Please tell us. The CIA is far more powerful than Pakistan’s ISI intelligence service, and would have a better idea.”…
Poor victim Gilani.
Why this unbelievable largesse and generosity?

“Brits to give Afghans $1.6 billion of military vehicles when they leave Afghanistan”
The vehicles and weapons systems will be sold to Iraq and Iran for use against my country (Israel). The U.S. has spent the past 20+ years arming and training our neighbours for the “Final solution” to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Sorry, but that is the truth.
No need to apologize for speaking the truth, Michael…
Agreed Rossco and Michael, that is what will happen. Historically the foreign office has strong arabists/muslim ties. Those who are advising such actions such as selling arm to muslim lunatics should be relieved of their jobs,
