Ungrateful and Enemy Within Obama Says NO to Pakistani Doctor Who Helped Find Bin Laden Is Denied Asylum in US
It’s Barack Obama’s Special Way of Saying ‘Thank You!’…
The Pakistani doctor who helped the United States find Osama Bin Laden was denied asylum.
Now Pashtun Dr. Shakil Afridi could die for helping the US.
The jailed doctor who helped the U.S. track down Usama bin Laden was convicted by a tribal court on bogus charges, according to a classified Pakistani government report.
Portions of the voluminous 357-page Abbottobad Commission Report, which has yet to be made public and were obtained exclusively by Fox News, acknowledge Dr. Shakil Afridi’s conviction last year by a government-sponsored Jirga has undermined Pakistan’s credibility. The report calls for Afridi to be given a new trial.
The report also claims Afridi joined the CIA search for Bin Laden five years ago, while he was staying in the U.S. with a cousin. According to the report, Afridi applied for asylum after a terrorist group, Lashkar-e-Islam, stepped up its operations in Pakistan’s lawless tribal belt.
Afridi was reportedly kidnapped by the group in 2008 and released after his family paid a $10,000 ransom. After helping the CIA pinpoint the terror mastermind just prior to the 2011 raid in which Navy SEALs killed Bin laden, Afridi was arrested and convicted by the tribal court of colluding with Lashkar-e-Islam.
The State Department declined to comment on the report’s claims that Afridi had applied for asylum while staying in the U.S.

I guess Obama wants to take all the credit himself and forget about this doctor that helped.

I wonder if he knows something the Regime doesn't want the rest of us to know?

Under obama, America is rapidly losing rerespect in the world. Just like when a Democrat congress pulled the financial rug out from under South Vietnam in '74-75.

Well, he let the Benghazi 4 die without support. Why should we think he'd back the guy that gave him Usama? After all, Obeauzeaux wants us to all think it was he and he alone who stormed the compound in Pakiland.
