Pakistani officials said today they're interested in studying the remains of the U.S.'s secret stealth-modified helicopter abandoned during the Navy SEAL raid of Osama bin Laden's compound, and suggest the Chinese are as well.
The U.S. has already asked the Pakistanis for the helicopter wreckage back, but one Pakistani official told ABC News the Chinese were also "very interested" in seeing the remains. Another official said, "We might let them [the Chinese] take a look."
A U.S. official said he did not know if the Pakistanis had offered a peak to the Chinese, but said he would be "shocked" if the Chinese hadn't already been given access to the damaged aircraft.
The chopper, which aviation experts believe to be a highly classified modified version of a Blackhawk helicopter, clipped a wall during the operation that took down the al Qaeda leader, the White House said. The U.S. Navy SEALs that rode in on the bird attempted to destroy it after abandoning it on the ground, but a significant portion of the tail section survived the explosion. In the days after the raid, the tail section and other pieces of debris -- including a mysterious cloth-like covering that the local children found entertaining to play with -- were photographed being hauled away from the crash site by tractor.

Really? Four writers for a major news outlet and none of them caught this?
I'll bet they'd be even more interested in a peek.

And China would do what with it?? Like they need a stealth helicopter fleet.
It would have made a lot of sense to lob a cruise missile in there to obliterate the high-tech debris.
Makes you want to start blowing stuff up until the Paki’s start to feel the love and understand that we will keep blowing stuff up until they give us access to EVERYTHING we want!
They need to be “bitch slapped” so hard their collective heads will spin for a month!
“It would have made a lot of sense to lob a cruise missile in there to obliterate the high-tech debris.”
You can’t expect our fearless leader to think of every detail can you?
I’m sure we could give them a close-up look at lots of military hardware. I’d recommend starting with several Tomahawks.
I also posted this article about 15 minutes ago, but the mods used yours.
Anyway, my take is that actions have consequences, and that is not something a rank amateur like Ubama would think of.
He got his propaganda victory to use in his campaign ads, but his ‘gutsy’ call will be answered in a ‘gutsy’ way by Pakistan, jeopardizing not only U.S. security but also increasing tension with our ally, India.
Nevertheless, getting to spike the football was worth it all for ubama.
Bombing begins in 10 minutes! (oh, wait, that won’t help obama in the polls)
The Pakis need to be reminded that the remains of the helicopter are still U.S. property.
Lordy, the man-child has all the finesse of a monkey masturbating with mittens.
How could Obama leave so much of it behind?
Well, uh, go right ahead and see what the response is, considering how much we have pissed them off already. Come to think of it, just push them firmly into the China camp. This will really help both the U.S. and our ally, India. All thanks to the colossally inept, er uh I mean 'gutsy', Ubama.
this was predictable
Yes they do. The invasion of Taiwan would be easy if they get behind defenses. The Taiwanese would be pinned between them and an amphibious assault.
