The head of Pakistan’s army, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani is Big-Assing. He has had enough of the Americans and will take any further ‘misadventures’ such as the killing of Bin Laden as a violation of Pakistani sovereignty and it would lead to a reconsideration of the relationship with the United States.
According to the New York Times:
The statement by the army’s press office said, “Any similar action violating the sovereignty of Pakistan will warrant a review on the level of military/intelligence cooperation with the United States.”
General Kayani had decided that the number of American troops in Pakistan was to be reduced “to the minimum essential,” the statement said.
He did not specify the exact number of American troops asked to leave Pakistan, and it was not clear that the level was below what Pakistan had previously demanded after a C.I.A. contractor shot and killed two Pakistanis in January.
Could it be that the general is embarrassed because his army didn’t know the raid was coming off? Could it also be a mass murderer was hiding right under the noses of the military in a garrison city caused some embarrassment?
Has the general ever thought that his big-assing might be costing his country billions with a B? Screw him. Pakistan has much to explain to the United States. Hopefully they will stop rattling their sabers. It makes them look stupid.
Dear General Kayani,
We are writing to you to thank you for taking care of Osama Bin Laden all these years so that he was nice and healthy and could see the bullet coming. Also, we’re writing to tell you to kiss our ass.
But mostly to kiss our ass.
Sincerely,
The United States
Thank you for such a great, pithy summary. I totally agree, Cargo.
We give Pakistan billions a year in aid/support. Is there any more clear money savings than this?
The problem is that Pakistani is schizophrenic. Some want to help against the jihadists. Some ARE jihadists. Some just want the free ice cream to continue without getting killed by the jihadists, but don’t want to really do anything.
The Pakis HAVE helped us out. They’ve also hurt us.
If we don’t support the pro-US groups, then we are worse off. However, how to do that effectively is the question.
They definitely have a multiple personality.

The US and Pakistan struck a secret deal almost a decade ago permitting a US operation against Osama bin Laden on Pakistani soil similar to last week’s raid that killed the al-Qaida leader, the Guardian has learned.
The deal was struck between the military leader General Pervez Musharraf and President George Bush after Bin Laden escaped US forces in the mountains of Tora Bora in late 2001, according to serving and retired Pakistani and US officials.
Under its terms, Pakistan would allow US forces to conduct a unilateral raid inside Pakistan in search of Bin Laden, his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and the al-Qaida No3. Afterwards, both sides agreed, Pakistan would vociferously protest the incursion.
“There was an agreement between Bush and Musharraf that if we knew where Osama was, we were going to come and get him,” said a former senior US official with knowledge of counterterrorism operations. “The Pakistanis would put up a hue and cry, but they wouldn’t stop us.”
Apparently ex-Pres. Musharaff, who was general during Obama’s stay, and in fact, the de facto dictator, protested our raid. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110507/wl_sthasia_afp/usattacksbinladenpakistanmusharraf
Methinks that he doth protest too much…….
