my 2 cents from another post
i thought long and hard about it .. my first reactions 'all reposnible should be fired - head must roll' .. then i saw this second opinion amongst people ' this is the agenda of CIA to get to ISI' .. no doubt being a pakistani and someone whoz been defending army on this forum, i immediately saw the hidden agenda in this line .. but then i thot and thot and thot and came to this conclusion
i do believe this this whole episode was a drama staged by US .. no doubt one of the reason was to get back and settle score on raymond davis fiasco .. another obvious could be the dsclosure of CIA operation cheif who had to leave Pakistan .. offocurse the ultimate target is the nukes and a strong presence in the region to coutner china iran .. and the list goes on .. BUT the point is .. although this drama took place, there was a failure on our end .. now it remians to be seen whose fault is it .. but i want head rolling .. coming to the point of dismissing the heads to our armed forces or agencies and that we should not tow the american line of getting our house in order .. i do no beleive in it .. i m not towing their line as i m not asking for a resignation because i beleive ISI was dileberaly keeping OBL there .. no sir no .. i believe this was a drama staged .. but the mere occurrence of this drama suggests that there was a failure .. the failure was in finding and exposing this drama .. now i do understand that govt might have issued illegal visas .. but then i do not expect my intelligence agencies to to go though the list given to them and then investigate .. a donkey can be trained to do that .. the very purpose of intelligence agency is to find out such state/non-state actors that conspire against the nation .. so in this regard there is a failure ..
and i m not excluding our govt from this drama .. they very well could be the silent partner in this crime .. so their heads must also roll .. but again the purpose of our agencies in to counter external and internal threats ..
in regards with resignations, i do not think ISI is merely pasha niether is army limited to kiyani .. people come and go .. institutions remain .. no human being is indispensible .. are u telling me that pasha sahab is of critical importance in this war against CIA .. wot happens if he (God forbid) die of an heart atack tomorrow .. would our army or agency fall on its head simply beacuse their one boss died (or wot happens when they retire) ... this is the very beauty of institutions .. they are not dependent upon people .. they are governed by policies .. people come and go and all of them carry forward the policies ..
so coming to the point, a failure occured .. since we do not have the precedent of moral resignations in our country, there should be an enquiry and each and everyone responsible should be fired irrespective of their profession .. someone should be blamed and the responsible should suffer .. that's the only way forward otherwise failures would keep repeating
P.S:- i still stand by my army and agencies .. they are critical for our survival .. and this is where i disagree with nota .. as i have said earlier many times .. a general is different from army .. we can and should critisize any corrupt general, but not the ARMY as an institution .. our general may be incompetant, our army aint
