After taking down the world’s most wanted man, U.S. Navy SEALs had to leave behind a downed modified Black Hawk helicopter while quickly exiting the Abottabad compound of Osama bin Laden. Livid that the U.S. carried out the raid without first notifying Islamabad, Pakistani officials quickly secured the bin Laden compound and all evidence left behind following the top-secret U.S. mission. The Financial Times is now reporting that Pakistan has allowed Chinese military engineers to photograph and take samples from the remains of the top-secret stealth helicopter that the Americans left behind:
“‘The US now has information that Pakistan, particularly the ISI, gave access to the Chinese military to the downed helicopter in Abbottabad,’ said one person in intelligence circles, referring to the Pakistani spy agency. The Chinese engineers were allowed to survey the wreckage and take photographs of it, as well as take samples of the special ‘stealth’ skin that allowed the American team to enter Pakistan undetected by radar, he said.
President Barack Obama’s national security council had been discussing this incident and trying to decide how to respond, said the situation ‘doesn’t make us happy’, but the administration had little recourse.”
The helicopter crashed into a compound wall at onset of the Navy SEALs’ May raid. After determining that the aircraft was not capable of leaving Abottabad, SEALs smashed the instruments and rigged the helicopter with explosives to eliminate any chance of leaving behind classified military technology. The Financial Times reports that the aircraft tail landed outside the compound wall intact.
Another U.S. official speaking to Reuters on the condition of anonymity, supported that there was reason to believe that Pakistan had allowed the Chinese to inspect the aircraft remains.
China, the CIA, and White House have all declined to comment on the matter. Reuters reports that Pakistan’s spy agency, the Inter Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI), denied the accusation. The Financial Times reports that Pakistan’s top general, chief of army staff Ashfaq Kayani, also denied that China was given access to view the wreckage.

Posted on August 14, 2011 at 6:53pmI’m hoping that they left behind a false tail. If it took two choppers to get all of them there how did they get everyone out (plus the extra body) with only one chopper? I hope the tail section, the most important part of the chopper, contained a bunch of junk science that will keep the Chicom fruitlessly busy for years. I mean, how is it that the most advanced military team in the US blew up their own chopper and left the best part behind? Maybe this was done on purpose? It also might have been a test to see if we could trust the Paki’s? Two birds with one tail, so to speak.

Posted on August 14, 2011 at 7:12pmYeah, like China is terrified of us. The geniuses in Washington had our military use Chinese made computer chips, in fact the majority of chips were made in China. Well, they have a “back door” where they can shut down the chips they made. Perhaps I should mention that they are everywhere including, buy certainly not limited to, our power grid.
Only Amerika is stupid enough to treat our enemies as if they were friends. Don’t worry, Mandarin is easier to learn than English and Rosetta Stone has an excellent way to teach it to you.

Posted on August 14, 2011 at 7:19pmThis report has to BS, We all know that the Chinese know they only have to ask Obama for information destroying our stealth advantage, if they haven’t already.
The real story is, somebody probably found out Obama traded China our top secret stealth technology for China’s solar and windmill technology, and they had to make up a story to cover their arse.

While China is probably almost certainly preparing for war with the United States of America, we are also, and have been since the beginning of our nation, preparing for war with China…and any other conceivable military threat. You see, the think about departments of defense, is that they prepare for every conceivable scenario and war-game for it, just in case, no matter how unlikely or outlandish it may seem. We once had a plan in case Mexico, Canada, or both invaded–how ridiculous does that sound? But we probably still do, and it’s a good thing to plan. We shouldn’t be surprised that China is doing the same thing.
Now, WOULD they actually start a war with us (or us with them)? No. For a lot of different reasons, but two really big ones, China will NEVER start a war with the U.S., at least not at any point in the conceivable future, because:
Number 1–Economic Interdependence
War with America not only means losing their biggest market and most important trading partner, it also means losing the entire investment in U.S. treasury bonds. Chinese private investors, and the Chinese government, have a lot of stake in U.S. debt.
Number 2–Nuclear Holocaust
Report Post »A real war between the U.S. and China, one with substantial stakes for winning and losing, would end life on Earth because both are armed with a large stockpile of nuclear weapons. It’s hard to imagine a way to profit from such a scenario.

Posted on August 15, 2011 at 3:55amHobbs57, You stole my thunder man!
I am of the same opinion. Elements in Our government are SELLING our technological advantage to the highest bidders and we have these WIDELY PUBLICIZED events that act as “cover” for when China begins to use this technology.
And why would they care? Some of them sold their souls to be re-elected. It is a small step down to sell out the country as well.
Makes me think that the discredited story of Hillary giving powers of imminent domain to china might prove to be true after all. Time will tell. Hope it’s not true!

Posted on August 15, 2011 at 9:59amOf course, this is no surprise, except, perhaps, to Ron Paul and his followers. This is not good, but it‘s just one more thing in a long line of things that have happened and that have permitted China to increase it’s military capabilities. Remember that Bill Clinton permitted the sale of missile guidance technology to China by his business buddies. Remember, also, that the American people elected Clinton to be president TWICE and then almost elected ALGORE to succeed him.

I agree with you 100%. China is preparing to edge out the US as #1 Super Power without having to wage war with us. China is working very hard to upgrade its military technology and military intelligence (ELINT). Just look at the cyber attacks it has launched against the US. They don’t need to fight us all they have to do is displace us. China is sending envoys to Isreal. They are very active in the rest of the mideast.

Posted on August 15, 2011 at 7:15amThere’s a story going around the internet that Osama was killed or died years ago and they kept his body frozen until it was needed that he was killed by Obama. There’s also the rumor going around that all the seals were already dead and placed on the helicopter to cover up the fact that SEALS are being targeted (not that I believe either of these rumors). Knowing what I do about Obama’s background, I almost believe it. He went to Indonesia in 1966 (at the age of 5) when the Indonesian Killings of 1965-66 were still going on. There was strong belief at the time that our CIA was involved in these killings of Communists. see: http://www.massviolence.org/The-Indonesian-Killings-of-1965-1966
It’s a long article, but worth the read.
