Batchelor: Pakistan Mordor

John Batchelor writes on his blog:

The killing of Bin Laden in a Pakistan safehouse on a military reservation entirely under the control of the ISI and the Pakistan elite is less a problem for Islamabad than it is for Washington.

How will John Kerry get Pakistan out of the hole it is in? How will the Obama White House go in front of the American people with a few weasel words of an explanation that there is no “evidence” of Pakistani duplicity and avoid laughter? Is Bin Laden in Abbottabad not evidence of bad road ahead and behind? What does the Congress do with the timeline of the events?

Larry Johnson reports that the August 2010 information was a “walk-in” from ISI. This could well point to many more walk-ins over the next many years?

Or it could point to a break-down right now. A nuke-armed state, in the hands of dealers and liars, prayed upon by extremist suicides, in the grip of a fear of the US cutting off aid, and in the hire of the Saudis and the Chinese.

The formula is worst-case scenario. How does POTUS convince the public that he has a way out of the Mordor he has just jumped into with the Bin Laden killing? Does this sound convincing enough for the campaign trail:

Mr. Obama added: “But we don’t know who or what that support network was. We don’t know whether there might have been some people inside of government, people outside of government, and that’s something that we have to investigate, and more importantly, the Pakistani government has to investigate.”

  1. Allowing Pakistan to sort out its internal disrespect for all that is Western, rather reminds me of the allied forces pulling out of Germany after our WWII victory, and allowing the Nazis’ to disband their own organization; much to Winston Churchill’s dismay. Perhaps Mr. Obama can double or triple the American taxpayer funds “WE” are currently “redistributing” to Pakistan [and the IMF], to “help [them] investigate.” Is that a smirk I see on your mostly covered terrorist face???

  2. Isn’t this obama’s strong suite…………open mouth insert foot, back peddle and still look stupid!!?? he doesn’t know…….who,what,when or where, and in the end, everything he does is basically half assed!!! ya, tis good to have someone like that as leader of the free world, Oh wait a minute “free world” that’s what he’s trying to destroy with EVOLUTION!!and rebuild with fabian socialism, na, to me it just plain old commie/marxist and he will use any and all means to achieve it.

  3. The ISI has been aiding and abetting the Taliban for ages, can anyone be surprised that they are up to their eyeballs regarding OBL?

    I suspect the amount of aid to Pockeetstan would be next to zero were they not a nuclear power. This should be an important lesson when it comes to dealing with the Islamic Republic of Iran’s fledgling nuclear capabilities.

  4. Come on RBO, he said he had “experience.”

    This POTUS is a joke.

  5. Thank you for allowing me to snark. It is one of a few ways that I can lower my BP.

  6. I think most Americans are still way down on the food chain digesting how does the President ride in on his unicorn and pop a cap in someone?
    For the very first time, I’ve had some hopium smokers asking some questions.

    For national politics, there is huge runway to this hypocracy. Pakistan is out of reach and the press and the White House have too much ability to spin it.

  7. and now we hear of Pakistan showing China the remnants of our stealth helicopter…

  8. It would be wrong to assume that U.S. interests are solely focused on the strategic importance of Pakistan. In my view, the Osama kill was strictly a political calculation to bolster Obama’s sagging popularity. We are already seeing the American long knives coming out for Pakistan. We are witnessing a broken-down old man built up into a super-hero by the American media to make him appear a worthy prize for their own Marxist super-hero to use as a weapon against any domestic opponent. Everything else – Pakistan, India, Israel, etc. – is subservient and readily expendable to the single-minded goal of getting Barack Hussein Obama reelected.

  9. Sure it was political-it was a ‘wag the dog’ action. The next shoe to drop will be Mullah Omar, who’s been with the ISI since last year; Breitbarts Site ‘Big Peace reported last ear, that ISI protects Mullah Omar.

    Sometimes next year, when the lection goes down to the wire, ISI will cough up Mullah to help Obama win, mark my words.
