PAC DID NOT LOSE THE OPPORTUNITY, CALLED SPADE, A SPADE

Note:Apropos "BJP's lost opportunity", Business Standard, instead of appreciating the fact that stark facts were made starker for the benefit of the public, strangely A K Bhattacharya (AKB) is quite blatantly suggesting that veteran opposition MP and Chairman of Public Accounts Committee (PAC) should have diluted its report to provide some face saving space to Congress and DMK (besides SP and BSP).

Present and future generations will always ask the Government of USA and its current leader Barack Obama as to why was Osama not arrested and put on trial to underline the events, ideas and policies that led to the emergence of al-Qaeda, a violent political network. Obama like his predecessors remains an admirer of Mahatma Gandhi. In recent years, the landscape of global politics has been shaped by the conflict between Soviet Communism, Protestant Christian and Jew inspired US Capitalism Arabic Islam and Communist China's capitalist experiments. George W Bush administration had argued there were ties between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda, warning the dictator might supply the terrorists with weapons of mass destruction.
