The President of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari, announced last night that the raid to kill the American president, Barack Obama, was successful. In a speech to the nation of Pakistan, Zardari explained that after years of seeking out Barack Obama's location, the Inter-Services Intelligence Agency had been able to track Obama to a large mansion in the middle of the capital of the United States, Washington D.C.. In describing the raid Zardari re-capped the multiple crimes Obama had been accused of: violation of Pakistani sovereignty, the murder of innocent Pakistani civilians and the targeted extra-judicial killing of various Pakistani Islamists. Obama, as the American commander-in-chief was held to be ultimately responsible for these crimes and for creating an undeclared state of war between Pakistan and the U.S..
"Our commandos, operating from a secret base in Canada, were able to fly into the United States and target the large white villa that Obama was hiding out in. Upon gaining entry to the building our forces were able to locate Obama, kill him, obtain large stores of vital intelligence information and escape U.S. airspace with his body. After giving him due burial rights according to accepted Christian custom, Obama's remains were buried at sea, being slid off the deck of a Pakistani Navy frigate operating off the coast of the United States."
Zardari announced to the people of Pakistan that "justice had been done" and thanked his troops and many intelligence operatives for their long hard work in this affair. Administration officials later acknowledged that, despite earlier reports to the contrary, Obama wasn't armed and didn't engage in a firefight that included Pakistani forces. When approached with questions regarding the certainty of their target administration officials explained that they were able to establish 99.9% certainty using various forensic and biometric techniques. As to the legality of the operation, the Ministry of Defence argued that by waging an undeclared war on Pakistan, by regularly violating Pakistani sovereignty and by acting outside the norms of established international law, Barack Obama had indeed made himself a legal subject of targeted killing.
"Here is a man who believed he was above the law and able to order whatever he wanted without consequence," an administration spokesman said, on condition of anonymity. "We only did what was just."
Critics both within and without Pakistan are busily arguing both the legality and morality of the act, especially in light of the revelation that Obama was unarmed.
Stay tuned for further details on this still evolving story......
