Bin Laden Gets a Pass from Pakistan

Habibullah Khan Report
Osama bin Laden, America’s most wanted man, will not face capture in Pakistan if he agrees to lead a “peaceful life,” Pakistani officials tell ABC News.
The surprising announcement comes as Pakistani army officials announced they were pulling their troops out of the North Waziristan region as part of a “peace deal” with the Taliban.

If he is in Pakistan, bin Laden “would not be taken into custody,” Major General Shaukat Sultan Khan told ABC News in a telephone interview, “as long as one is being like a peaceful citizen.”

Bin Laden is believed to be hiding somewhere in the tribal areas of Pakistan, near the Afghanistan border, but U.S. officials say his precise location is unknown.
In addition to the pullout of Pakistani troops, the “peace agreement” between Pakistan and the Taliban also provides for the Pakistani army to return captured Taliban weapons and prisoners.

“What this means is that the Taliban and al Qaeda leadership have effectively carved out a sanctuary inside Pakistan,” said ABC News consultant Richard Clarke, the former White House counter-terrorism director.

The agreement was signed on the same day President Bush said the United States was working with its allies “to deny terrorists the enclaves they seek to establish in ungoverned areas across the world.”
The Pakistani Army had gone into Waziristan, under heavy pressure from the United States, but faced a series of humiliating defeats at the hands of the Taliban and al Qaeda fighters.

“They’re throwing the towel,” said Alexis Debat, who is a Senior Fellow at the Nixon Center and an ABC News consultant. “They’re giving al Qaeda and the Taliban a blank check and saying essentially make yourselves at home in the tribal areas,” Debat said.

Wild Thing’s comment…….
Maybe this is for the best…now we can go in and clean things up without having to go through the Pakistanis who give the heads up to Osama and his crowd, protecting him while saying they are helping us. It is too bad though, because just recently Pakistan told us they want to help in the fight against terrorists. I just don’t get why leaders of countries cave in when it comes to fighting back. imo, It comes down to handing over an entire country to the enemy.
One of our many allies is the Polish military.They are outspoken in their support of the United States, even when other European countries are running for cover; their troops are on the frontlines with ours, some even participating in the opening engagements of Operation Iraqi Freedom; and they are offering to open their borders for US forces to be stationed in their country, even as other European nations are pushing for US troops to leave their soil.
In addition, I love the fact that Poland considers Ronald Reagan to be the greatest of American Presidents and are planning on erecting a statue in his honor.
Romania, Hungary and Czeclovakia, are also offering forward bases, just to name a few.
And some of the others, Australia, Britain, Italy, Ukraine, and Japan, along with all of the other little countries like Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Georgia who sent troops to support us in Afghanistan and Iraq.

UPDATE:

I had done this post about this and now I see others have also been posting about it. I am adding in the video on this as well.
