Pakistan allowed Chinese military engineers to photograph and take samples from the top-secret stealth helicopter that US special forces left behind when they killed Osama bin Laden, the Financial Times has learnt.
The action is the latest incident to underscore the increasingly complicated relationship and lack of trust between Islamabad and Washington following the raid.

“That’s what friends are for......”
Yup. China and Pakistan have been friends/allies for a long, long, time.
Ouch!
So how do we break off ties with a radical islamicist nuclear state? Drop funding for who? The people who keep the crazies away from “the button”?
who “leaves behind” a stealth helicopter. this makes no sense. I was assuming it was the one shot down. But from the sounds of this it is not.
So how the heck do we leave a helicopter behind.
Pakistan has always been our avowed enemy. Alliance with India should have been our first move, a long time ago.
To see the article, I must register. Eff that, baby boy, eff that.
Time to cut these back-stabbing Pakis off at the knees.
We should be closer allies with India anyhow.
I would`nt trust India, either.
Look the deal on the Sizzler missiles, along with their new carrier.
"This recent decision makes sense only when considered in the context of the Obama administration’s operational worldview. Put simply, the world’s great powers—the United States, the European Union, China, and Russia—share a broad set of common interests. As long as we demonstrate to China and Russia that the United States is a friend, the thinking goes, they will join us in pursuing those interests."

Brings the late Daniel Pearl to mind.
No...but they are a potential counterbalance to China.
Agreed. The practical inability to have delusions about a friendly relationship with Pakistan actually makes things easier for Israel in terms of India.
Is that the same candidate that believes 9/11 was our fault?
Agreed. I once heard a preacher say, “In my humble, but accurate, opinion....”
It crashed attempting to land in UBL compound. This isn’t the one shot down the other week when we lost the seals.
Pakistan is being slowly “Iranian-ized” into a terror puppet state. The US technology there is being held by a union of Paki soldiers and US advisors, but the ISI is trying to purport that it is better to rely on Soviet thinking or bare nukes and nothing else.
We could mount a coup against the ISI narcissists and moon bat claimers, but with the kind of leadership we have...
I think we should threaten to give them up to India, period.
I know what you’re saying, and you’re right, but it’s important to remember that God Almighty has always been our strength, our shield, and our high tower. If we get nuked, default, or otherwise fall into misery it’s because God’s anger has reached saturation point. God’s people, doing what God has commanded, is our only hope.
***...the increasingly complicated relationship and lack of trust between Islamabad and Washington...***
Except for the Kenyan. That relationship is doing just fine.
