I think we need not have the knowledge of rocket science to understand why Pakistan provided covert and over assistance to the al Qaeda chief. Despite their tall claims about their participation in anti-terrorist operations in Afghanistan, it was obvious Osama was thriving right under the nose of Pakistani authorities. The US military operation in Abbottabad and subsequent killing of the terrorist leader rightly underlines the hollowness of Pakistan’s claims.
Osama means money for Pakistan. The al Qaeda leader was the proverbial ‘golden goose’ for Pakistan. It is in the guise of tracking down Osama and his terror network, America pumped billions of dollars and million dollars worth sophisticated weapons to Pakistan. Pakistan could effectively nuetralise the so called upper hand India had in the conventional warfare over Pakistan. The money was important for them to stablise their sagging economy hit by terrorism.
Then, only fools will think of sacrificing such a ‘golden goose’. It is obvious the US won’t help Pakistan financially anymore. Also, they cannot expect to use their leverage with the Americans to face the Indian diplomatic attacks after the 26/11 attacks.
Considering the policy being followed by Americans now, it is not far off when the US attacks Pakistan to eliminate the remaining terrorist havens within that country. For Americans, nothing is more important than the safety of their nation and their citizens.
