What’s the price of a slightly damaged tail rotor assembly from a stealth helicopter? How about $ 3 billion, give or take.

We’ve all seen the pictures of the tail rotor assembly outside Bin Laden’s compound. It’s from a secret, stealth, special ops chopper that made a hard landing during the raid. The helo was blown up, but unfortunately the tail assembly survived intact.  The Pakistanis  picked it up, carted it off, and supposedly the US is now in “negotiations” with Pakistan for its return.

Pakistan is now expressing its “displeasure” with the US for daring to take out OBL, including demands that we reduce our military footprint inside the country, and oh yeah, promise never to do it again. All this as it seems more and more obvious that higher levels of the government and military were complicit in allowing Bin Laden sanctuary for several years.

If they are indeed, our ally, our friend, as they profess, then it’s time to return the coptor parts now, immediately.  It’s time for resolutions to be introduced in both the House and Senate stating that unless this happens within a few days, Pakistan can basically forget about any more aid from the US. Period.

    Let India negotiate the terms regarding the return of our tail rotor and redirect the foreign aid money that had been earmarked for Pakistan to offshore drilling and natural gas exploration throughout the US continental shelf.

    It’s a threebie… Which is fifty-percent better than a twofer.

    Just go back in with a Black Hawk and the same team, commandeer the tail rotor, extract it as a sling load, and kill anyone who tries to get in the way. O! and yes, keep the money.

    is not conducive to the successful conclusion of a black op and would require a much larger footprint.

    Besides… Such action would deprive India of the opportunity to strengthen her position as a regional power.

    Note: Life, Liberty and Pursuit. Fiscal is included within the third leg of the stool, and it’s irrelevant without first securing Life and Liberty.
