America takes the death of Osama Bin Laden as an important milestone in the war against terror. May 2, 2011 was the day when the sole Superpower found and killed the “Most Wanted Man” in Operation Geronimo, in Abottabad. Many questions remained unanswered which emerged as a result of this operation. The most imperative was, if Osama was found alive, why he had not been arrested? As much has been written about how this operation happened and how America fabricated the whole episode; this paper is an attempt to analyze Pak-US ties in post-Osama period. It will also explore the hard fact that Abottabad Operation is an significant twist of American Global War’s Design which in the times to come, will help US to intervene Pakistan, whenever, wherever and however, it would like. The study will look at the situation whether really the death of Osama has achieved the target of a decade long war or not, whose cost of sending troops in Afghanistan is more than 400 billion dollars. The paper will conclude with the theory that since Osama has been found, the United States should carefully start the withdrawal of its forces from Afghanistan, in order to ensure peace in this region. Though America called the death of Bin Laden a “Great Success” of its “Counter-terrorism” Policy, yet nothing concrete has come out in one year from his death till date, except the souring relations between Pakistan and the United States.
