Pakistan Enveloped by National Depression, Says Imran

Source: Indo-Asian News Service

London: A "national depression" has gripped Pakistan following the killing of Osama bin Laden in an American strike that kept out the Pakistanis, politician Imran Khan said on Tuesday.

"There is not just confusion that prevails in Pakistan, but also a national depression at the loss of national dignity and self-esteem as well as sovereignty," the ex-cricketer wrote in The Independent.

In the process, he said in a published commentary, that allegations from the West and India were going unchallenged that Pakistan had protected and harboured Osama bin Laden and other terrorists.

He said Pakistan's president, prime minister and the army needed to answer whether or not they had the intelligence that led to Osama's killing early Monday in Abbottabad city.

2. We should help our Pakistani "friends" save face

But really...They didn't know? Really? No one wondered what this massive barb wired compound was doing in a city?

3. That is one of the questions he is asking. Also, how the US

managed to carry out this operation without knowledge or assistance or acquiescence of Pakistan.

4. If they think it's bad now just wait.

Wait until we have time to go through all the computer hard drives and other materials.
