Changes

Two weeks after bin Laden was killed about half of President Obama’s approval rating bounce has disappeared. The [[Gallup poll]] put his job-approval rating at 48 percent, higher than the 43-to-44 percent weekly averages he had before the Abbottobad raid but lower than the 51 percent he scored in the week immediately after. Pollsters Glen Bolger and Jim Hobart noted “bin Laden’s death was not the game-changer some predicted it would be. The killing of bin Laden resulted in a small approval bump for the president but had little (if any) impact on his chances of being reelected." They also noted “There is no telling the impact of the White House messing up the narrative.” Pollster Charlie Cook observed news organizations focused on the actual story, rather than "the administration’s preferred message."<ref>http://www.nationaljournal.com/columns/cook-report/why-no-bounce-for-obama--20110519</ref>

==U.S.-ISI cooperation==

==CIA, Blackwater, and the ISI==

The [[CIA]] has been conducting its covert war in Pakistan through various proxies mainly the [[Balckwater]] or Xe Services. Although initially U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan and the Pakistani officials were adamant in their denial of the presence of Blackwater in the country, in an interview with the Pakistani TV station, Express TV, in January 2010, Defense Secretary [[Robert Gates]] confirmed that the private security firms Blackwater and DynCorp were operating inside Pakistan.<ref>http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x4237282</ref> Blackwater is a particularly emotive issue in Pakistan, where the company's name, along with the drone strikes, have become lightning rods for anti-American sentiment.<ref>http://www.presstv.ir/usdetail/167395.html</ref>
