BEFORE BIN LADEN RAID, PAKISTAN ORDERED 20% OF USA'S SPECIAL FORCES TO LEAVE

Pakistan has ordered the departure of up to 20 percent of the roughly 150 U.S. Special Operations forces trainers in that country in the wake of a series of clashes between the two governments, a U.S. military official said.

Between 25 and 30 trainers were “told to leave” in the weeks before the U.S. commando raid that killed Osama bin Laden this month, apparently in response to an earlier incident involving a CIA employee who shot and killed two Pakistanis in Lahore, the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive relationship. Pakistan had threatened to reduce the U.S. presence there after grudgingly releasing the employee, Raymond Davis, in March.

PAKISTAN'S RULING ELITES - LIKE SAUDI ARABIA'S - IS RIDDLED WITH SUPPORTERS OF THE ENEMY.

DESPITE THEIR AID TO THE WEST DURING THE COLD WAR - WW3 - NEITHER NATION SHOULD BE TREATED AS AN ALLY IN WW4.
