Pakistan's parliament condemns bin Laden raid
 

Pakistan's parliament condemned Saturday the U.S. raid to find and kill Osama bin Laden, calling for a review of U.S. ties and warning that Pakistan could cut supply lines to American forces in Afghanistan if there were more such attacks.
Pakistan's intelligence chief was cited as saying he was ready to resign over the bin Laden affair, which has embarrassed the country and led to suspicion that Pakistani security agents knew where the al Qaeda chief was hiding.
The secret U.S. raid on bin Laden's lair in the garrison town of Abbottabad, 50 km (30 miles) north of Islamabad, has strained already prickly ties with the United States.
It has also led to domestic criticism of the government and military, partly because bin Laden had apparently remained undetected in Pakistan for years, but also because of the failure to detect or stop the U.S. operation to get him.
"Parliament ... condemned the unilateral action in Abbottabad which constitutes a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty," it said in a resolution issued after security chiefs briefed legislators.
Pakistan has dismissed as absurd any suggestion that authorities knew bin Laden was holed up in a high-walled compound near the country's top military academy.
The U.S. administration has not accused Pakistan of complicity in hiding bin Laden but has said he must have had some sort of support network, which it wants to uncover.
Pakistan has a long record of using Islamist militants as proxies, especially to counter the influence of nuclear-armed rival, India.
Members of the two houses of parliament said the government should review ties with the United States to safeguard Pakistan's national interests and they also called for an end to U.S. attacks on militants with its pilotless drone aircraft.
They also called for an independent commission to investigate the bin Laden case.

Nuts to them, they knew.

what do you expect?
It was obviously a huge disappointment for Pakistan

Nuke em...

guess the americans had better promise not to kill Bin Laden in Pakistan ever again

That's internal make Pakistanis happy populism.
Pakistani Government says what the people what to hear and that's what really scary.

Yup. And Idi Amin condemned the Entebbe Raid. These clowns should last as long.

Agreed, time to team up with India and take them out.

I don't know if I'd advocate taking them out, but I certainly say screw 'em. Cut the aid, and put the diplomacy on ice. These guys aren't our friends.

Take out their nukes first.

Preaching since years that all that aid given them is a waste and is used not to help but to hurt Western/American interests, and soldiers. Pakistan invented the Taliban (thoigh together with the CIA), and Pakistan is the ally and protector of the Taliban. Pakistan is no ally for us, but a very underhanded enemy.

And it was that from the beginning of the Afghanistan war on.

The mission in that part of the world, needs to be shifted in focus, away from Afghanistan, which does not produce any fruits anyway, and towards infiltrating Pakistan's security and military structures and hierarchies, and finding out about where and how their warheads and carrier system are hidden.

Once we know for sure, take them out, preferrably in a surprising strike that leaves them no chance to move them again.

The Pakistani warheads are the biggest concern in that part of the world, and a threat to all world due to the succeeding destabilization of the county and the dominant role of religious fanatism and irrationality involved in all this mess. To me, not N-Korea or Iran, but Pakistan is the most dangerous hotspot in the world today.

Ya like the walls were high so we didn't know he was there, okay dude? :zzz:

I have an idea that takes care of quite a few problems with the world.

Blow all of our violent enemies off the map, then blow all their supporters off the map.

Then - with a decent percentage of the world's population gone - we can feed the population of starving countries.

We can use the extra land to reduce global population density

Problems solved - global conflict, world hunger, and overcrowding

:D

You have the makings of a fine diplomat:D
