With friends like Pakistan, who needs enemies?

via Reuters....

(Reuters) - Pakistan gave China access to the previously unknown U.S. "stealth" helicopter that crashed during the commando raid that killed Osama bin Laden in May despite explicit requests from the CIA not to, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.
The disclosure, if confirmed, is likely to further shake the U.S.-Pakistan relationship, which has been improving slightly after hitting its lowest point in decades following the killing of bin Laden.
During the raid, one of two modified Blackhawk helicopters, believed to employ unknown stealth capability, malfunctioned and crashed, forcing the commandos to abandon it.
"The U.S. now has information that Pakistan, particularly the ISI, gave access to the Chinese military to the downed helicopter in Abbottabad," the paper quoted a person "in intelligence circles" as saying on its website.
It said Pakistan, which enjoys a close relationship with China, allowed Chinese intelligence officials to take pictures of the crashed aircraft as well as take samples of its special "skin" that allowed the American raid to evade Pakistani radar.
Read the whole thing but the question becomes.  What do you globalist have to say now?  Many political pundits slam Ron Paul and call him an isolationist.

I say he's spot on.

Screw the world.  Act in our own best interests...and forget the starving masses yearning to be free until we have our own act together inside our own borders.

Oh and while we're at it, lets face facts.  China is a communist country and an enemy.  Pakistan is a backwards Islamist state and an enemy.  The list goes on.  If you want to be adult about other nations then lets start by being honest about them.

PS.
While the Obama administration is allowing a film to be made about this raid, I'd like to know who made the decision not to launch an airstrike on what remained of the Black Hawk.  I refuse to believe that Special Ops Command would have allowed any section to fall into enemy hands especially since they had overhead ISR assets broadcasting the entire raid.  I'm guessing this came straight from the top.  I could be wrong but thats my guess.
