Our pals in Pakistan earn our trust after the UBL raid (NOT)

WaPo:

Twice in recent weeks, the United States provided Pakistan with the specific locations of insurgent bomb-making factories, only to see the militants learn their cover had been blown and vacate the sites before military action could be taken, according to U.S. and Pakistani officials.


Overhead surveillance video and other information was given to Pakistani officials in mid-May, officials said, as part of a trust-building effort by the Obama administration after the killing of Osama bin Laden in a U.S. raid early last month. But Pakistani military units that arrived at the sites in the tribal areas of North and South Waziristan on June 4 found them abandoned.

Go read it all, but WHY?

India should NUKE Pakistan. Problem solved!

That’d certainly be a thoughtless decision if taken by Indian Government. Despite knowing the serious consequences India would suffer, from world over, after initiating a catastrophic invasion on Pakistan’s soil.
