Credit: Reuters/Akhtar Soomro WASHINGTON | Wed May 18, 2011 2:46pm EDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top U.S. defense officials said on Wednesday there was no evidence Pakistan's leadership was aware that Osama bin Laden was in their country before a U.S. military raid killed him, and they cautioned against punitive action against Islamabad over the incident. Defense Secretary Robert Gates told a Pentagon news conference he had seen "no evidence at all" that the senior Pakistani leadership knew the al Qaeda leader's whereabouts before the raid and "in fact, I've seen some evidence to the contrary." Bin Laden was killed earlier this month in a compound in Abbottabad, a garrison town near the Pakistani capital. The incident deeply embarrassed Pakistan's military and spy agencies and led to calls by members of the U.S. Congress for a tougher approach toward the country. But Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, cautioned against taking action that could worsen relations and interrupt the flow of U.S. aid to Pakistan. "I think we have to proceed with some caution," he told reporters. "We do have significant interests in Pakistan. I think that my own view would be that ... we need to continue the assistance that we have provided, the benefits to the Pakistani people." Gates noted Pakistan had already paid a significant price in embarrassment and damage to its reputation as a result of the raid. "If I were in Pakistani shoes, I would say I've already paid a price. I've been humiliated. I've been shown that the Americans can come in here and do this with impunity," he said. "And I think we have to ... recognize that they see a cost in that and a price that has been paid." Gates also said Pakistanis had indicated a willingness to go after al Qaeda or Afghan insurgent leaders, and it was important to give them an opportunity to do that. "The Pakistanis over the last couple of weeks have ... expressed the view that they are willing to go after some of these people and ... we should not repeat the bin Laden operation because ... they will undertake this themselves," he said.

Time to stop putting billions of American tax dollars into Pakistan for nothing. India should be America’s new best friend.

Of course Bush knew and refused to play along with the Obama-created farce. They were probably afraid someone like wikileaks would eventually find the info and publish it and they would have lost a PR opportunity. It will backfire on him despite the wonderful press he’s been getting from the msm. I don’t normally believe much that Russia has to say about the US but this does sound reasonable. I’m sure bin laden’s group knew but decided it was better press for them if the US killed him unfairly than dying alone as a result of a severe illness…they get PR also. http://rt.com/news/bin-laden-cia-agent-2006 May 18, 2011 2:03pm EDT -- Report as abuse See All Comments » Add Your Comment Social Stream (What's this?) © Copyright 2011 Thomson Reuters Editorial Editions: Africa Arabic Argentina Brazil Canada China France Germany India Italy Japan Latin America Mexico Russia Spain United Kingdom United States Reuters Contact Us Advertise With Us Help Journalism Handbook Archive Site Index Video Index Reader Feedback Mobile Newsletters RSS Podcasts Widgets Your View Analyst Research Thomson Reuters Copyright Disclaimer Privacy Professional Products Professional Products Support Financial Products About Thomson Reuters Careers Online Products Acquisitions Monthly Buyouts Venture Capital Journal International Financing Review Project Finance International PEhub.com PE Week FindLaw Super Lawyers Attorney Rating Service Reuters on Facebook Thomson Reuters is the world's largest international multimedia news agency, providing investing news, world news, business news, technology news, headline news, small business news, news alerts, personal finance, stock market, and mutual funds information available on Reuters.com, video, mobile, and interactive television platforms.
