Kayani fighting to keep his job?

@ehsan

Please list the words and deeds of the PM and president in the immediate aftermath or even weeks after the incident. isn’t it shameful that while the whole world knew what had happened it was total silence from these two. They are the head of the govt and the nation elected them not the military. yes kiyani is to be condemned on this incident but you can hardly say they are innocents because they simply did not pretend to be “outraged”. Probably they were not because they were more concerned about their bountiful booties being cut off by America than the hurt of the nation.

You can’t expect the civilian leadership to “do” anything when the military leadership failed to act in protecting Pakistani sovereignty. Let us not forget that it was Kiyani who was contacted by the Americans AFTER the raid. What did that beygahirat do? Cry like a little girl and blame the politicians for not “doing enough.”
I was in Pakistan when the raid happened. Pakistan’s political class was STUNNED that this raid took place – from the MNA level all the way up to the Presidency. With the military leadership, looking like eunuchs that they are…all of a sudden you expect the President and Prime Minister to “make things up” and salvage Pakistan’s reputation – the same PM who was FORCED to give Kiyani and Pasha another extension? That is ludicrous!
Up until now, Pakistani military has called the shots – so what do you expect the politicians to do?
By the way, you did not answer the massive intelligence/security failures:

• Why was ISI unable to track Bin Laden?
• Why was there NO military response when the raid was occurring?
• What corrective actions have been taken to protect national sovereignty? PNS Mehran happened not too long after.

The three areas above fall under the control of the military NOT the politicians. Are Zardari/Gilani corrupt and self serving? Sure, but our reputation is in tatters because of Kiyani/Pasha – two of the weakest men in Pakistan.
