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.
(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.
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.
i can honestly see why they wouldnt bomb it. they knew it was goign to cause a problem and bombing in a heavily civilian area at a country thats our ally would have further inflamed tensions. in this raid no civilians were killed, had that bomb gone away it would have been not good and could have been casus belli for pakistan against the US. also from what i have read we had no strike assets in the area, only ISR so we would have to send in a fighter strike force which would have been easily spotted on radar.
ReplyDeleteSending US fighter jets in to Pakistani airspace near their largest military academy to bomb the leftover scrap of the stealth copter, I think is an extremely risky move, especially with collateral damage. I also agree Pakistan is no friend, they hid Osama from us, period! This is where the enemy of my enemy is really my friend, for now anyway.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the Chinese already knew about this helicopter, but by only seeing it in person could it confirm, their analysis of the helicopter.
If the Pakistani's showed the Chinese the helicopter, even gave them a sample of the stealth material, then there is a serious problem still in the ISI, for us anyway! Wouldn't there be satellite imagery on this location 24/7, to have a definitive answer on the Chinese being there?
Just a quick question for you guys. Why is it risky for our relationship to send a couple of 500 pound bombs over to bomb secret material considered such a risky move?
ReplyDeleteI mean really! We just sent Special Ops into their country without permission to kill a guest.
The damage was done as soon as this was made public. The bombing of damaged US equipment wouldn't have made a bit of difference.
