Pakistan's army warns US not to stage more raids

ISLAMABAD (AP) - Pakistan's army broke its silence Thursday over the U.S. commando raid that killed Osama bin Laden, acknowledging its own "shortcomings" in efforts to find the al-Qaida leader but threatening to review cooperation with Washington if there is another similar violation of Pakistani sovereignty.

The tough-sounding statement was a sign of the anger in the army. It also appeared aimed at appeasing politicians, the public and the media in the country over what's viewed by many here as a national humiliation delivered by a deeply unpopular America.

While international concerns are centered on suspicions that elements of the security forces sheltered bin Laden, most Pakistanis seem more upset that uninvited American soldiers flew into the country, landed on the ground and launched an attack on a house—and that the army was unaware and unable to stop them. That it happened in an army town, next door to a military academy and close to the capital has added to the embarrassment.

The army warned the United States not to launch another attack like the one that took out bin Laden. On Wednesday, U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner did not rule out the possibility the U.S. would do just that.

"Any similar action violating the sovereignty of Pakistan will warrant a review on the level of military/intelligence cooperation with the United States," the statement said. Earlier, the Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir warned of "disastrous consequences" if the U.S. staged a similar attack on its territory.

The statement was not referring to CIA drone strikes on targets in the border region. Some of the drones are believed to take off from a Pakistani air base—unlike Monday's raid, in which the helicopters had taken off from Afghanistan and crossed into Pakistan without permission.

Fears over India, which the Pakistani army considers the country's main threat, are also a factor in the backlash. The army is worried that unless it reacts strongly to the U.S. raid, India could use a similar argument to launch a helicopter strike across the eastern border to take out militants threatening it. Some of those militants are at least tolerated by Pakistani authorities. India is not believed to have drones.

For many here, the United States is perceived as more of a danger to Pakistan than bin Laden even though al-Qaida and its associates have carried out scores of suicide bombings in recent years, many in public places or mosques and shrines.

"If another country's aircraft intrudes on your territory, you should shoot it down instead of turning a blind eye," said Fateh Ullah, a 38-year-old baker in Abbottabad, the town where bin Laden was hiding. "What we should care about is the safety of our country."

The account of Monday's attack given by Bashir, the foreign secretary, was the most detailed public one yet by a Pakistani official.

He said the first that Pakistan knew of the raid was when the helicopters buzzed over Abbottabad after evading Pakistani radar. He said troops were sent to the scene "once it became clear they were not our helicopters" but that the Americans had already left by the time they arrived.

Pakistan then scrambled two F-16 fighter jets but the American choppers had apparently already made it back to Afghanistan before they could be intercepted, he said. He said that about 3 a.m. Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen called the Pakistani army chief, Kayani, to inform him that the raid had taken place.

So we can do it one more time before they review their cooperation. Who's left hiding there that is worth the risk?

@ your thread title.

The Pakistanis have nothing to fear from India. India is weak, especially now that the pusillanimous south indians practically run the country.

Given that you insulted K.P. Candeth and G.G. Bewoor, architects of Pakistan's defeat on western front in 1971. It's you northerners who are actually pusillanimous, a quality magnified in Pakistan!

And, last I checked--rubber-stamping PM is a northerner (the only good one of the northerners was Shastri), and his boss is Italian (foreigner).

Pakistan doesn't need to worry about India right now. They just need to concentrate on finding an excuse for why they were sheltering OBL. Pak needs to cover its ar$e first, the rogue nation that it is, Insha allah it will all go to jannat soon.

Pakistan is blustering to:

1) cover it's ineptitude and/or collusion in hiding Bin Laden

or

2) appease the militants within it's borders

or

3) both 1 & 2

We should sell India some drones.

Provided we set up a call center to handle the complaints. To save money, we'll outsource it to ...India.

People unable to do jobs try to hide their stupidity behind bad humour. Atleast someone's still doing those jobs and getting paid good money, right? But why would it bother you, you are too good to work, just laugh at your own inability.

We've been outsourcing to India over the past few years and I'd have to tell you that I am not impressed with what is being delivered by them companies over there. Not impressed at all. Apparently, it still makes sense for the folks in the executive suites but they don't know the pain we're dealing with that's caused by this outsourcing. This ####### might help make the numbers look better at quarter end but long term, it's a losing strategy.

Just say it for the sake of saying it. I have dealt with Americans, Canadians and Ins=dians in call centres. THe first 2 deal with customers like they do them a favor or play the 'Sir. don't talk to me like that, I am a woman/black/ any minority and you can't ask me anything or I will accuse you. Atleast Indians do the job without the drama.
