Now, the fact the United States only notified Pakistan AFTER the raid is pretty telling in my opinion. “Ally” in name only. That’s a relationship that will likely sour very rapidly as facts come out about how embedded in the Pakistan elite Bin Laden was.

Chances are if the U.S. had informed or asked Pakistan for permission that their ISS would have either intervened or would have spirited Osama off before the Seals got there.
