Bin Laden dead - real target Pakistan

Don't be fooled. Bin Laden's been dead for years. The real target is Pakistan. THere have been some major changes going on in the relationship between Pakistan and the US.
Something very different is going on here. The US wants an end to Pakistan attempt to move away from the US orbit.
This is an intensification of the US attempt to destablise Pakistan. Pakistan’s president, Zardari, has already held an emergency security meeting. He fears a US assault against his country.
Westerners (and Indians) will begin to openly state that Pakistan is supporting Al Qaida at the same time as pretending to the world that it is fighting it. Bin Laden’s compound was near a major Pakistani military base. No one outside Pakistan is going to believe that this is a coincidence. There will be a propaganda campaign, not openly endorsed by the US government, saying that Pakistan backed 911. Fingers will also be pointed at Saudi Arabia. Relations between the US and Pakistan will worsen. There will be more drone attacks that will kill innocent civilians. Anti-government protests will break out and will be supported by the US and UK. There will also be more Taliban terror attacks on Pakistan, US bases in Pakistan and also against India. Tensions between India and Pakistan will increase.
This will be cover to what is really going on. Most people in Pakistan believe that terror attacks in their country is being conducted by the US. They also believe that Al Qaida had nothing to do with 911. They are not extremists and extremists got nowhere in the 2008 elections.
The Ray Davis affair provided evidence that the US is seeking to destabilize Pakistan. Davis actually killed two Pakistan intelligence agents who were seeking to arrest him. When Davis was caught he was found with information about potential Taliban targets, contacts with Taliban and papers suggesting that he wanted to pass nuclear material to the Taliban. The US kicked up a big fuss to get him out of Pakistan and they succeeded. But the Pakistani response was to call for the removal of most CIA agents out of their country. For years, Pakistan had been establishing closer relations with China. Also, Pakistan had formed closer relations with Saudi Arabia. They had agreed that two Pakistani army brigades would be established in Saudi Arabia. Not because of the stated enemy Iran, but as protection against possible US military intervention. Clearly, Saudi Arabia would normally depend on the US to military support them against Iran and not Pakistan. The Bin Laden affair shows that the US has drawn a line in the sand. They will step up their efforts to break Pakistan into four or five provinces.
BIN LADEN: HEY, HEY GOODBYE

The fact that bin Laden was found in a compound in a wealthy retirement community populated in large part by former Pakistani military officers raises dire questions about the relationship of the Pakistani army and its intelligence community to radical Islamic terrorists. For the past decade, as America has poured billions into a country where about one in a hundred citizens pays income taxes, the Pakistani military/intelligence complex has gone into the looking-for-bin-Laden business. Now, they are out of business. If it is true that Pakistani intelligence was helpful in locating bin Laden, and kept that matter secret, then we can begin to sort out our fraught relationship with that troubled country on a more equitable, trusting basis. If that turns out not to be the case, then there will be a dreadful reckoning to come.

Despite increased cooperation between the United States and Pakistan since 2001, Islamabad places greater value on its relationship with Beijing than vice versa, say analysts. "Pakistan thinks that both China and the United States are crucial for it," said Haqqani. "If push comes to shove, it would probably choose China--but for this moment, it doesn't look like there has to be a choice."
