Pakistan Employs New Tactic In Terror War

No, it's NOT surrender!

Osama bin Laden, America's most wanted man, will not face capture in Pakistan if he agrees to lead a "peaceful life," Pakistani officials tell ABC News.

The surprising announcement comes as Pakistani army officials announced they were pulling their troops out of the North Waziristan region as part of a "peace deal" with the Taliban.

If he is in Pakistan, bin Laden "would not be taken into custody," Major General Shaukat Sultan Khan told ABC News in a telephone interview, "as long as one is being like a peaceful citizen."

To insinuate that our staunch ally in the Global War On Terror (GWOT) is in actuality one of our enemies would mean admitting that Pakistan cannot be trusted with their nuclear bomb. Sure, there's lots of evidence showing that the head of the Pakistani Secret Intelligence Services funneled $100,000 to Mohammed Atta, leader of the 9/11 attackers, but that's just hearsay and was fully investigated by the 9/11 commission, right? Oh, sure, it wasn't even mentioned in the 9/11 Report, but who could expect them to rule out everything?

Well, it doesn't matter, anyway, The Pakistani general in charge has recanted and rescinded his earlier statements.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan's top army spokesman on Wednesday vehemently denied saying in a news report that Usama bin Laden would not be taken into custody if he agreed to live peacefully in Pakistan.

"This is absolutely fabricated, absurd. I never said this," Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan told The Associated Press, referring to an ABC News broadcast aired hours earlier.

[...]

Sultan told the AP by phone that "what they are saying on Usama is absolutely fabricated."

"Pakistan is committed to its policy on the war on terror, and Usama, caught anywhere in Pakistan, would be brought to justice," he said.

Asked for a response, Jeffrey Schneider, senior vice president of ABC News, told the AP by phone, "We simply played his comments as we recorded them."
So there, UnAmericans, proof that Pakistan is our staunch ally and everyone in their country is 100% behind America.
