Is Trump going to start demanding Osama's death certificate?
 
Why should we be friendly with Pakistan? They're a stones throw from becoming the next Mid-east despot.

If we told Pakistan sooner, they'd probably have warned Osama.

The risk gets higher as more people are in the know. It doesn't suggest much, in my opinion.
 
I believe that many of the grievances of OBL and AQ are legit, but I don't see much dignity or value in the life of OBL.

Sorry once you kill innocent people just going about their day you lose all legitimacy. OBL killed 3000 people just going to work as administrative assistants as janitors as firefighters as Stock brokers as cops etc..just people doing service... ding their job..someone like that needs to go.
 
The team that went in and got Bin Laden would have built a mockup of the compound based on satellite data, floorplans, human intel, etc. For something like this, they literally would have reconstructed the compound 1:1, as much as time allows. Then, they practice taking the compound according to plan until they know the place blindfolded.

Probably Delta Force and CIA with many other departments involved as well.
 
Pakistan LOL! You worry about those backwards fucks? we give them 3 Billion a year to STFU if they don't we do what do we do regardless.

No no they did do what US wanted. US media and pols wanted 'democracy" and forced out Pervez - which made everything worse.
 
Wonder what we are going to do with his body? Illegal to photograph it but legality never stopped Obama... Burying it with pigs would be good. Gets right into those superstitious fucks minds.
 
Why would it be illegal to photograph it?

We showed photos of the AQ leader of Iraq after we toasted him. I would expect to see the same of Osama and very soon in order to prove that we killed him.

I am betting we have video too, will be interesting to see if that ever sees light of day.

I'm sure there's some sort of protocol for this.

They probably didn't do any of that. Considering how frequently Osama was supposed to be moving around, the intel they got was probably something they acted on within hours, probably the result of a single source or intercepted communication.
 
News is reporting CIA built the intel based on courier movements over time. Also the house was built in 2005, custom built to house Bin Laden.
 
Economy recovering, Osama Bin fuckin Laden: dead, charming and articulate Obama means right wing is pretty much fooked. Although I should say right right wing doesnt hav a chance cuz Obama is already bought and sold.
