WHY I THINK THAT OSAMA IS ALIVE?

Only if one sheds one’s emotions and anti-terrorism sentiments and looks objectively to this Trillion Dollar Manhunt......

To begin, I register my strong support for a clean sweep of terrorists by the anti-terror forces of the whole world. I also want to believe that Osama is dead as does my brethren worldwide but it eludes my logic.

Following questions that you might also be having make me think on these lines:

Tough Questions

1. If US can release Saddam’s execution video (that was not less gruesome), then why not of Osama’s shootout? (let the video alone, not even official pictures of his dead body.)

2. Why sea burial? (may be so that no one can verify the body)

3. Why are there discrepancies between accounts given by Obama and CIA chief Leo Pannetta (who flatly denies any support of Pakistani Intelligence in the operation)?

Just check out the video of Obama’s official confirmation of Osama’s death from White House in which he himself appreciates the support of Pakistan’s Intelligence agencies..

4. Why harsh words for Pak from US Intelligence but softness from White House in the form of dissuasion for India to resort to such measures in the hunt for LeT millitants perating in Pak?

5. How can Pak so easily take the shelter of intelligence failure to detect US forces on its soil at the time of operation Geronimo?

Obama’s Interest

1. His popularity was dropping to an all time low since the time of his election to the White House. Recently he filed his re-election papers but his chances of being re-elected until this unparalled feat of Osama killing were bleak.

2. As soon as he took the reins of White House, he drew up the troop withdrawal programme for calling back US troops from Afghanistan. It is to be executed from July 2011. Leaving Osama alive would have rendered the US offensive against Al-Qaida as failed and fingers would have been raised on Obama’s policy. He would have been severely criticized for any terror strike that might have followed troop withdrawal.

3. He was constantly been targeted as a soft, moderate and an ineffective US President.

Pakistan’s Silence

1. I dont expect Pakistan coming out in open and falsifying US’s claim of Osama’s encounter. Obviously, Pak cant say that Osama is alive, because if they say that then firstly, they would be jeopardizing the claim of the mighty USA and secondly they would be asked the basis of their statement which includes the whereabouts of Osama.

2. It subjects Pak to momentary worldwide criticism of holing-up Osama on its soil and lying all the time but going by the larger perspective it frees Pakistan out of any future responsibility of Osama, the dreaded terrorist whose death has been confirmed by US President.

Finally, it could also be a deliberate move to enrage Osama and Al Qaida which might incite them to take a wrong move which in turn would help tracking and catching hold of him by US Navy Seals, CIA or other Intelligence forces of USA.

Note: I hereby affirm and declare that whatever I have stated regarding the US President Barack Obama and the State of Pakistan in the abovementioned lines is strictly my own opinion deduced on the basis of information available on the US’s Osama killing in the Worldwide Press and over the Internet. There is no intention of defamation and this might not be taken as an attempt to cause harm to their image.
