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.

AMEN!!!!!
The ISI has no power of its own other than that given by the army. All its senior officers are from the military.
I would if it were me.
But first, how do you say “F*** You and the Camel you rode in on” in Urdu? Because that’s what I’d say before I cut off diplomatic relations with Pakistan.
F**k Pakistan.
President RockinRight’s Response would be:
1. Cut off all aid, funding, and diplomatic relations with Pakistan immediately.
2. All Pakistani Nationals are banned from traveling to the US, that includes permanent Pakistani national US residents if they leave and try to come back.
3. Publicly declare an alliance with India, just to piss them off.
Well, if he actually does what he says. That is the problem with all politicians in our “representive” form of government.
Basically I feel like my vote this time around is a vote for total self destruction or a vote to barely hold our way of life together.
Obviously,if that is the choice I vote to barely hold our way of life together.
Unlesss and until someone gets in there who can truely change this path we have been on for the last 100 years.
especially the last 50.
Anyhow, I am not going to get all worked up unless “we” declare Romney/Perry our choice.
Every time a DUmocrat sits in the Oval Office, the ChiComs get kickbacks in the form of US technology in exchange for campaign cash.
Of course they won't - I know; it was a rhetorical question. But the Pubs need to be prepared to counter-attack. No doubt the movie will paint the UBL operation as a brave decision on Obama's part. We will need to put out ads showing that it was a stupid decision (for a human rather than missile attack) that unnecessarily put special forces troops at risk and resulted in China obtaining valuable intelligence about out stealth capability just so Obama could have pictures to use for political purposes.

“So how the heck do we leave a helicopter behind.”
The helicopter was damaged and the only section that wasn’t destroyed was the tail section. Unfortunately, the tail section contained ultra state-of-the-art equipment.
EODGUY
I agree with the India angle. The US should cut off Pakistan completely and transfer some of that money to India, with the suggestion they may want to make a serious play for Kashmir.

This is why you only uses top secrete technology in situation in which you can either recover it or the risk is worth the reward.
Our Stealth aircraft need self-destruct systems on them. We need to maintain AT LEAST a 6 to 1 advantage over China technologically.
Sadly we can’t do that with a socialist economy anymore then china can develop her own technology under socialism.

You make a good point about self-destruct mechanisms.
When I enlisted in 1974 (I am older than dirt:) the Top Secret Crypto equipment we used was fitted with thermite devices that could melt a 6 foot tall crypto equipment bank in a matter of minutes.
I was amazed that an automatic self-destruct device was not incorporated within the tail section of the helicopter based on the extremely sensitive it housed.
EODGUY
Well, there are a number of folks in Pakistan weeping over the islamic terrorist bin Laden - so this kind of duplicity comes as no surprise.
Aww, but hey...come on now...they’re our FRIENDS, remember?
Why, Obiwandouchebag in the White House SAID so...
I guess it just goes to show we're mushrooms.
What took them so long? I thought China had their engineers on the way before Osama’s body was dumped in the ocean.
Did you know Pakistan is our ally?
This is what happens when we try to buy friends with aid and weapons. We should bring all of service people home and stop this nonsense of nation building and selling weapons to both sides.
