| Obama administration had tacit consent of Pakistan military, claims book |
| 2012-08-23 |
[Dawn] The B.O. regime seems to have acquired a "tacit consent" of the Pak military for the May 2 raid in Abbottabad... A pleasant city located only 30 convenient miles from Islamabad. The city is noted for its nice weather and good schools. It is the site of Pakistain's military academy, which was within comfortable walking distance of the residence of the late Osama bin Laden.... that killed al-Qaeda leader the late Osama bin Laden, ... who used to be alive but now he's not... claims a new book released in the United States on Wednesday. The book -- "Leading from Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors Who Decide for Him" -- also claimed that in August 2010, the ISI offered valuable information about bin Laden's hideout to the CIA. On page 116, author Richard Miniter disputes US President Barack Obama's Ready to Rule from Day One... claim that he took a great political risk by ordering a strike into a compound near the Pakistain Military Academy, Kakul. "Far from taking a risk, there are indications that a cover story had been developed with the Pak military and that Mr Obama had their tacit consent for the mission," he writes. The author, a former news hound with The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal, argues that "the B.O. regime's account of Pakistain's role (in the operation) is misleading and incomplete." The author also claims that Pakistain Army chief may have been briefed in December 2010 about the operation, five months before the night-time raid on bin Laden's concrete castle. "Pakistain was more involved in the bin Laden operation than Obama's team admitted," he argues. |
