In which we scour the transcript of the State Department's daily presser so you don't have to. These are the highlights of Monday's briefing by spokesman Mark Toner:
Coming armageddon between nuclear-armed Pakistan and U. S.
Pakistani government has U. S. by the throat. US can NOT use its aid leverage to force Pakistan to stop supporting terrorist groups who kill US/NATO troops in Afghanistan day in and day out because US needs Pakistan’s help in ferrying supplies to those very US/NATO troops.
U. S. navy seal team collected treasure trove of information during their raid in Abottabad to kill Osama bin Laden. Currently CIA is going through that information to establish the connections that Osama had in Pakistan that allowed him to go undetected for more than seven years so close to the heart of Pakistani government and Army.
It is very possible that CIA will find undisputable connections between Pakistani Army/government/ISI and Osama.
That raises the serious possibility of conflagration between nuclear-armed U. S. and Pakistan unless of course U. S. government decides to shove Osama’s connections with Pakistani government under the rug. Afterall U. S. and its international buddies have poured more than 50 billion dollars in that terror center of the world called Pakistan over last ten years.
