What did the Pakistani govermnent know about Osama bin Laden’s location?

May 2, 2011

  With all of the media coverage of the killing of Osama bin Laden there is one question that isn’t being asked, and that question is; What did the Pakistani government know about the location of Osama bin Laden? The former president of Pakistan–Pervez Musharraf–has declared the assassination of bin Laden an attack against Pakistani sovereignty which the Pakistani people cannot accept:

American troops coming across the border and taking action in one of our towns, that is Abbottabad, is not acceptable to the people of Pakistan. It is a violation of our sovereignty,” Mr. Musharraf told CNN-IBN, an Indian news channel

  At best the United States’s relationship with Pakistan in the war on terror has been dubious. Pakistan has been an ally out of necessity, but her true commitment to the United States war effort against terrorism has certainly been questionable and there have always been rumors that Pakistan hasn’t been truly outgoing in her efforts to find bin Laden even though he has been rumored to have been hiding out in Pakistan for years.

  In the end Osama bin Laden was indeed found and killed in Pakistan, but he wasn’t hiding in the outskirts of that country as was widely believed; he was living in an affluent community right next door to a military academy. Needless to say, I find this highly suspicious.

  We are to believe that Pakistan was helping us in the hunt for bin Laden yet he was able to live next to a military academy for years? He built a compound with walls almost twenty feet high with barbed wire at the top, and he built it right next to a military complex and yet the military didn’t think this was strange and the Pakistani government either didn’t think this was suspicious or didn’t know it was there?

  I find it ludicrous to believe that the Pakistani government could be this inept and I also happen to believe that they HAD to know where Osama bin Laden was in light of these revelations yet they never gave us his location and they continued the ruse of helping us find bin Laden. I think it is appropriate to ask where Pakistan’s loyalties really are.

    We shouldn’t give them another devalued American dollar until they explain themselves. They were burning American flags there today.

    Benazir Bhutto, who was killed in a suicide attack at the end of 2007 stated in November that the Osama bin Laden, the head of the international terrorist network al-Qaida, had been killed. Bhutto claimed that she even knew the man who had killed the prime suspect of 9/11 terrorist attacks in the USA. According to Bhutto’s words, Bin Laden was killed by Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh – one of those convicted of kidnapping and killing U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl.

    Bhutto released that statement on November 2, 2007 in an interview with Al-Jazeera TV channel. http://english.pravda.ru/world/asia/15-01-2008/103426-benazir_bhutto_osama-0/

    We can look at this two ways.

    1. Pakistan knew, but didn’t ever tell us. The righteous indignation gig is a necessity, not to mention we did actually invade their sovereignty (not complaining, just pointing out facts).

    2. Pakistan knew, and so did we. In that case, the righteous indignation is part of a cover-up. Knowing how big time power politics and Foreign Aid payoffs are used, I would defer to the latter option.

      It is possible that we knew where he was for years also and that we were just waiting for a good political time to take him out.

    I’m inclined to go with the first option suggested by Fleece. From what I have read, the Pakistani Intelligence Service knows everything that goes on in Pakistan. The intelligence service only tolerates the government and is aligned with Al Qaeda.

      Well that is interesting! I still think that there is the chance that we knew where he was for quite awhile and were waiting for the “right” time to take him out.
