Photographs and Pakistan

Hello, my readers out there in the blogging worlds. It is hot in sunny Cali, but my blood started to boil as an unsolicited slew of information came my way. As it would any other American.

First, Obama has decided that photographs of the body of Bin Laden are not to be released to the public. I think I just heard a collective "What?!" go through all of your minds. 

This goes completely against what Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, said. According to him, there was never any doubt that at some point, American's would get to see this, or any photo of the dead Osama Bin Laden.

And Obama's lame reasoning? Are you ready to be shocked?

He doesn't want any photos to be used as "incitement or as a propaganda tool". And, according to Jay Carney, the White House Spokes Person, it would present a national security risk.

Ok, now, pull your jaws up from the the floor and let me nail this one.

WE DON'T CARE!!!! 

I think all America really wants right now, considering what we've been through, and the people we've lost, is to finally have the satisfaction of knowing, of seeing proof. And do you honestly thing that there is no way to get those pictures, if they even exist? I bet China or Japan already has hacked the CIA and has those pictures on some data base somewhere. Not to mention the possibility that one of those SEAL's has it on a cell phone or a camera...we all remember what went down with Saddam Hussein on that front. And this raises all kinds of questions, like the possibility that Osama was never dead to begin with.

And then I come to my next boiling point. Pakistan.

Ladies and gentlemen of the American Public, let me ask you. When was the last time we did something like this to another nations flag?

Try never. And where are they doing this? Pakistan! And we're the haters? The very country that pleaded ignorance of Bin Laden's whereabouts, is now protesting the country that was the most harmed by him. In a sickening display of ultimate loyalty, like the goats they are so fond of raising, they have been herded and have made Bin Laden into a national hero, doing things like this:

  

Honestly? Is he the Messiah or something, the savior of the world? In three days, is he going to rise again from the sea, if he's even dead to begin with? I think we would have heard of it by now if he was.

And let's discuss foreign policy in Pakistan. They bull face lied to us! You can not tell me that they did not know of Bin Laden's whereabouts in their own country. He is looked up to all over the Muslim world, an international figure. He practically lived next door to the Pakistan Military Academy! And they didn't know? It's not like he ever took a walk outside the walls of his compound or let his family go to school or anything, right? Its not like any of his son's ever attended the Military Academy that was with walking distance from his house, right? Naw, I believe them, don't you?

And this is why Pakistan was never informed of the raid the SEAL's were going to preform. Even the Director of the CIA, Leon Panetta, said they were not informed because they might "alert the target". That's about as close as you can come to saying, "Yeah, we see through all of your talk, and you know what? You are full of it!"

And then, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry Head, Salman Bashir, has the audacity to find the vocalization of our long held suspicions "disquieting". Of course he would find this disquieting. It means that we are no longer funding his government with our American dollars, since he flat out betrayed us. A regular Benedict Arnold, fraternizing and hiding American Public Enemy number One. Mr Bashir is also willing to make an exception for our little escapade into his country because of this public enemy number one, but violating Pakistans sovereignty shouldn't be made a habit. Does anyone else find this absolutely ridiculous and ludicrous?

And know we come to my favorite part of this whole Pakistan issue. The Pakistani military is holding survivors, who have been wounded, in a secret location in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. They are being treated for gun shot wounds.

First of all, they are holding survivors of a US raid on the head of Al Quada's home. Secondly, they are treating them for gun shot wounds. Why were these people there in the first place, if they were not members of Al Quada or sympathetic to its cause? And why is Pakistan harboring them?

It sounds kind of sinister, doesn't it? And its disquieting to think that these people, who we trusted, should never have been put in a position of trust to begin with.

So, readers, here is my questions for you:

1) Why do you think Obama is with holding the photo's of Bin Laden?

and

2) What are your thoughts on the whole Pakistan issue?

Much love,
