'Osama wins gold medal for the game of hide and seek - 2001 - 2011' - I came across this statement on Facebook where a friend had put it across as his status update.... 'Quite apt for the story of Osama Bin Laden after the 9/11 attacks until he was finally killed by the US Navy SEALS in Abbottabad - Pakistan'....
Astonishingly, Osama was hiding in a 3 floor mansion, 90 kilometers from Islamabad - Pakistan's capital, just at a stone's throw distance from the Pakistan Military Academy in the garrison city of Abbottabad, which graduates the elite of the Pakistani Military. While the Pakistani military and intelligence graduate from this academy, it seems Osama was undertaking a five year long post graduation course which ended with a graduation ceremony done by the US forces instead of the Pakistani.
While Osama was hiding in this compound for the last five years, the whole world was searching for him in the mountains on the Af-Pak border... The Americans gave aid to Pakistan, which ran into billions of dollars to find this one man --- interestingly it seems, the Pakistani's instead built a mansion from a part of that money where they could hide Osama, and chose to continuously see the show, year after year, of the US government providing money and military support to the famished economy and top brass of the Pakistani nation.
Now that Osama is dead, this might have direct implications on the economy of Pakistan which was being supported by the aid money being given by the USA. If the money flow from the US gets curbed into Pakistan, it is pretty obvious that Pakistan will resort to exporting terror from the Kashmir route into India at a refreshing pace, given, it can't see India's economy getting stronger each day. It will shift it's focus from Af-Pak border to Kashmir once again.
On the other hand, full marks to the US government and its leadership, for going deep into Pakistan, finding the target, and eliminating it. No Arrests. No Drama. While India, even after having video proofs, and eye witnesses, are preaching to the world the lesson of law by spending billions feeding Kasab at Arthur Jail in Mumbai. The Indian Foreign Minister repeatedly 'requests' the Pakistani counterpart to 'have a look' at the numerous dossier's which India keeps providing to Pakistan with detailed information and whereabouts of Terrorists and criminals wanted by India and sheltered in Pakistan. Till date, Pakistan has never even thought of responding to these dossiers, leave aside actually handing over the criminals to India.
Our accomplishment in 60 years, is a troubled relationship with all our neighbors except for Bhutan. Our true friend. It is more important for us to listen to Kasab's demand of 'Butter Chicken' and watching 'Laawaris', and we feel proud of our judicial system of giving everyone a chance to put across his word in defense. Kasab, went ahead and ridiculed our judicial system, by saying, that the person in the video's and the photos is a 'Humshakal'/ a 'look-a-like' of his.. and our system is actually taking all this!...Our politicians and police men are seen crying at the death of magicians who proclaim themselves as god... Our corrupt politicians debate and decide more about the IPL than our country's policies of importance.
Our intelligence gives information to CIA about whereabouts of Osama (that he is in Abbottabad - RAW/2009)- it even gives information to Pakistan about a threat to Pervez Musharraf's life by Pakistani terrorists, the attempt which eventually was foiled. Our intelligence knows the full postal address of Dawood's residence in Karachi- we even have clear details of the guest list of his daughter's and son's marriage reception -- furthermore, our bollywood actors and actresses often met with Dawood and continue to do so, but still the don is safe.
No doubt, our commando's are capable to undertake an operation such as the one did by the US to eliminate Osama, deep inside enemy territory, but only if our NSG commando's are not made to 'baby-sit' our corrupt politicians. Our government is always happy to engage Pakistan in dialogue, whereas the Pakistani government takes the entire 'dialogue affair' as if they need to read out dialogues from a Bollywood movie. Literally!.
It is time, India eliminates the terrorists and criminals hiding inside Pakistan using full stealth help, the way the CIA and the Mossad of Isreal goes about eliminating its enemies. It is then, when Pakistan will truly come to the table to engage in dialogue.
