The news today showed some tweets from a man who lived near the compound. I wish I could post them here...but can't begin to find them. He begins by mentioning he hears helicopters at 1:00 am, and this is unheard of at that hour. A little while later he comments "maybe it's just an exercise, like the government told us it was".

What? The Pakistani government told them it was an exercise? It wasn't an exercise, and they knew it wasn't an exercise, so why did they lie? Because they knew it was Bin Laden's compound? Of course they knew.

This is a fragile situation. ETA: nevermind. This is not to be a "fragile situation". The white house is pretending like Pakistan had a hand in it, and Pakistan is pretending like they didn't know he was there, and they are glad he's dead. Put your blinders on. Let's pretend like everything's on the up and up to keep the "peace". Appalling, but afterall, maybe it's for the best. Who knows what's best anymore anyway?

As far as a mansion....? Pleeze. I guess the mil was invested in the 15 ft. walls. He certainly didn't put it in beautification, or spend it on the swimming pool. lol. It's nothing I would consider a "mansion", but of course I don't live in Pakistan. Not that it matters......but the word "compound" seems to be a better description.

Anyway. Now he lives in Davy Jones locker, so it seems to be an appropriate move.

Weak reasoning.

Why waste such a publicity coup on such a minor player as Canada?

See www.abovetopsecret.com... - there would have been much better times to use it.

It wouldnt be a "nuclear war" Pakistan would be wiped off the map. But this wont happen regardless so moot point.

Maybe he (Osama Bin Laden aka Tim Osman) made that compound with millions of Dollars (US Dollars) he made from working with the CIA. Also I really doubt he was even there or even a live. It's no coincidence that the supposed body of Osama was given some cement shoes and put in the Ocean. As much ego as the American govt has, you would think they would want to Parade that all around the world!!! Personally I think he was already dead, long ago. I think we really need to watch out for what is going to happen here in the near future. I think the NWO has got something pretty big planned for the near future.

they say they were first informed that bin laden had been at that compound since august of last year. that's 9 months ago.

then president barry said that it took that long to strike because that's how long the intelligence process, planning and actual confirmed assualt takes.

if osama was holed up in there for 9 months, then he was pretty comfortable and it didn't seem he was running for his life.

if he just changed locations every 3 months, the united states would still be 6 months behind.

and if he really felt the heat and moved every month, osama would be 3/4 of year ahead. basically uncatchable.

so he was definitely being tipped of by the military and the intelligence community. that's scary, because that will mean he has high level contacts in a nuclear armed military force.

after the c.i.a goes thru all the intelligence and recover proof of this, don't hold your breath that they will warn any americans in danger.

so theoretically, any one of you could be sitting on a ticking time bomb without even knowing about it.

If he wanted to do this to boost his election chances he should have done it in October, 2012.



Not necessarily true. Bush Sr., road the coat tails of the Kuwait war that he won in hopes to win re-election. Course he lost, but it occurred far off from the election.

Obama simply needed something to boost his low approval numbers. Of course there are enough retards out there that will re-elect him on just that alone. His expansion of Bush policies be damned.


Ahh, but this is only the first act; the curtain is about to rise on act 2. Here's what will happen:

In the coming months, there will be a "terrorist" attack inside the US in retaliation for the killing of Bin Laden. Like Bush before him, our Nobel Peace Prize winning President will use that to do two things:

1. Patriot Act II, III, and IV. TSA molestation checkpoints will be expanded to include bus terminals, subways, and train stations. "Random" checkpoints will appear on the roads where our vehicles, persons, and cell phones will be searched for possible ties to known terrorists. Our homes will be scanned from roving infrared equipped vans and aerial drones (which will probably be be checking out your WiFi signal at the same time.) Document-free interstate travel may become a thing of the past as our government does its damnedest to keep us safe.


2. President Obama, in retaliation for the retaliation, will start yet another war - just in time for the election. History has shown that no matter how big a buffoon the President may be (yes I'm talking about baby Bush,) the American people are loath to change horses in mid-stream; his re-election will be assured.

Anybody wanna take bets?

Everyone knows that Pakistans ISI both funded and supported those allgedly responsable for the 9/11 attacks. So the fact he was hidden by them aswell does'nt come as a shock. If the ISI can send Mohammed Attta 150.000$ a week prior to 9/11, them lending Osama a holiday home is completely plausable.

do you all honestly think that the mastermind of 911 would have stopped on 911. if he had the resources to pull that off ,he would have had a full blown GEEHWAWD and completely crippled the US...its ALL a lie and ole binladen was just what he was...THE PATSY


ask yourself why just stop at 911? no other thing happened except in the middle east, which does nothing to terrorize your victims....shoe bombers..hahahaha..underwear bombers...hahahaha......COME ON

Luxury???? It was a dump!

Do you guys live in hovels or tents or something. It had it's own compound but if thats luxury to you guys you're living in cardboard boxes on a highway in mid Iowa.

luxurious when compared to his counterparts holed up in the mountains...
you have to remember, he was a pious man. the whole world would be surprised if they found his home be the likes of arabian sheikhs or saddams palaces.

but youre right, when compared to hollywoods mansions, his place is a doghouse

rofl - there speaks someone who has no idea what it takes to cripple a whole country - Japan takes 15,000 dead in a population only 1/3rd that of the USA - it's not crippled - what do you think it would actually take to "cripple" the USA??


its ALL a lie and ole binladen was just what he was...THE PATSY


I don't suppose it ever occurred to you that 9/11 was an all out effort by a relatively small nubmer of people (compared to, say hte uS armed forces!) with limited capabilities trying to operate "under the radar"??

Or that subsequent counter-terrorist efforts by the USA & the rest of the West might have had any effect?

No - that would require you to consider the real owrld instead of your little fantasy game scenario!



ask yourself why just stop at 911? no other thing happened except in the middle east, which does nothing to terrorize your victims....shoe bombers..hahahaha..underwear bombers...hahahaha......COME ON


You answered your own question idiot -- "they" didn't stop at 9/11....how about the London and Spanish bombings? Were they in the Middle East?

So you are quite ignorant of geography as well as the complexities of terrorism and counter terrorism.

There's a patsy here all right - and it's you dude - not OBL!

I find it extremely strange that he was supposedly killed a week ago - how the hell day they keep that under wraps for so long?

Just can't see how that kind of news would not have got out - but not a squeak from anywhere - in this day and age of the internet.

Strange!

He was not killed a week ago. He was killed Sunday.

Misinformation I see is still quite prevalent.

I remember the claim that he was in Pakistan like what?, 6 years ago. Maybe longer. Trust me, though I can't prove it, only takes a thought process, outside the box, to see the dotted lines.


If you don't have evidence for a claim then I WON"T believe you.
Second line.

What I find the best part about this news is?
We spent some time looking for saddam, a guy who should have been found hiding in a mansion somewhere,
Instead they found that guy in a hole- at an old farm.
Yet, the guy who was supposedly hiding in in caves was hiding in a mansion in another country.
Im sorry but- if this doesn't prove to everyone that these wars are not what they are portrayed as they are than a little another drop of hope has faded

Bin Laden lived in Pakistan compound five-six years: US


“Well I think the latest information is that he was in this compound for the past five or six years and he had virtually no interaction with others outside that compound. But yet he seemed to be very active inside the compound,” White House counterterrorism chief John Brennan said on the CBS Early Show program.

I am expecting the information we gain from the computers and other notes taken from the hideout to lead to contacts loyal to OBL that have been passing for government officials working for the US and our allies.
