When bin Laden was killed in May, the Pakistani government was kept in the dark about the operation. For good reasons too. The Pakistani government is not trustworthy and has never been worthy of any respect as an ally.

Now, in mid June, the Pakistani government tipped off militants working at two bomb making factories established by the “Haqqani network”, an arm of the Taliban, and closely allied with Al Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The United States shared secret information about the impending raid with Pakistani officials and was betrayed in return.

To make this whole relationship even worse is that Pakistan has been whining about intruding into their airspace when we killed bin Laden and has arrested 5 of their citizens who helped America in its effort to kill bin Laden. Further, Pakistan has been dragging its feet by withholding VISAs for our operatives to enter their country to develop a joint intelligence team to ferret out militants. This agreed to do but have reneged.

It is clear Pakistan is in collaboration with terrorists and shows, they are not an ally in any way. Because of their terrorist associations and support for our enemies, we must end our relationship with Pakistan and declare it a terrorist state. This way we can take appropriate action to defeat them along with the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
