"............. Whats more, the relationships I forged with members of Obamas campaign team also led to closer cooperation between Pakistan and the United States in fighting terrorism over the 3[SUP]1[/SUP]/[SUB]2[/SUB] years I served as ambassador.
These connections eventually enabled the United States to discover and eliminate bin Laden without depending on Pakistans intelligence service or military, which were suspected of sympathy toward Islamist militants.
Friends I made from the Obama campaign were able to ask, three years later, as National Security Council officials, for help in stationing U.S. Special Operations and intelligence personnel on the ground in Pakistan.
I brought the request directly to Pakistans civilian leaders, who approved. Although the United States kept us officially out of the loop about the operation, these locally stationed Americans proved invaluable when Obama decided to send in Navy SEAL Team 6 without notifying Pakistan."
