Default Pakistan let China see crashed U.S. "stealth" copter

Quote:
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.

In other news, screw Pakistan. They're not worthy of being called an "ally" and they should be treated with all the suspicion they've earned.

I like the way you put it, "In other news, screw Pakistan"

Maybe we can kill two birds with one stone by rounding up the British rioters and sending them to Pakistan for community service. Maybe we can convince the Pakistanis that they're some sort of new urban warfare unit and China can copy them too.

While I don't necessarily disagree with this sentiment, for myriad reasons, we raided a compound a mile from their version of West Point without giving them prior notice, torched the chopper to destroy any sensitive materiel, and left the wreckage in their country. What they do with their salvage rights is none of our concern.

Given those circumstances, the quoted statement could very well have been the Pakistani govt. reaction to the US as well.

So they copy the design. They can make a cheap knock off version, and we can buy it from them. Just think off the money we'll save.

Although it may not be an exact model of the real stealth helicopter, it's pretty close.
Then, I LOLd.

Pakistan is what it is, and thus it does what it does. There is no sense in complaining about the frog squawking or the scorpion stinging. It's adequate and proper for them to do that, there is nothing else to be expected of them, since it is their natural behaviour.

Leaders in the West and in Washington still acting as if the frog were a friendly dog, and telling the public the scorpion in fact is a purring cat that must be given milk - that is the thing to complain about.

I would have used satellites to see where they bring the wreck, and then bomb the place to molten pieces.

And stop paying that damn "military aid" to them. What idiot ever got that stupid idea in the first... Pakistan is a failed state, a hostile nation, and it is at undeclared war - with us, the West. This, and nothing else.
