(Reuters) - A senior Pakistani security official said U.S. troops killed Osama bin Laden in "cold blood", fuelling a global controversy and straining a vital relationship Washington was trying to repair on Thursday.
And Pakistan's army, in its first comment since Monday's raid, threatened to halt cooperation with its military sponsor if it repeated what it called a violation of sovereignty.
But Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Washington was still anxious to maintain its alliance with Islamabad.
"It is not always an easy relationship. You know that," she said.
"But, on the other hand, it is a productive one for both our countries and we are going to continue to cooperate between our governments, our militaries, our law-enforcement agencies, but most importantly between the American and Pakistani people."

Awww.... boo-freakin’-hoo!
How about the 9/11 victims.. warm blood??
Why are we giving the Pakis $billions ?
Yeah. So?
WTC, Pentagon, USS Cole, Khobar Towers.....
How the heck did he bungle the death of OBL? Even my super lefty literature professor is referring to the event as the assasination of OBL.
He deserved it.
Bite me, Pakistan.
“You have the right to an all expenses paid extended stay at the bottom of the Arabian Sea.”
Explain that to the 3,000+ people killed on 9/11 and to their 10's of thousands of family and friends devastated by their deaths. And then get back with us...
"Would it make you feel better, little girl, if he was pushed outta window?"

Yeah, we shot him in a million dollar 'former' ISI safe house, where he'd been living rent free for years. Be glad he wasn't brought out alive and interrogated, or you and the rest of our loyal Pakistani allies would playing 'catch the JDAM' by the end of the week.
I could not bring myself to read the accompanying story.
So, the WH is having having trouble spinning this, and, IMHO, it’s going to backfire on Zero.
Cry me a river - and then go look at 9/11 video and stills.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa...........
Do any of these people in the middle east know what a bath/shower is?
Pakistan was hosting UBL.
Does that make Pakistan a terrorist state ?
“How the heck did he bungle the death of OBL?”
By letting too many people say way too much, too early.
I hope that when I go it is as quickly and painlessly as he did. He got off far too easy.
So what?
