No. CNN is reporting that US intelligence used information gained from detainees, apparently the pakistanis got involved in this at the last minute.Again as mentioned numerous times, this smell every bit like the Pakistan ISI finally sold him out with a right price.
Bin Laden Dead about effin time
- Thread starter alwayslooking
- Start date
Yep not all Muslims are that devoted to their religion. Too many times I hear people speaking Farsi when picking wine at LCBO. Go figure.
That being said, when the economy of that particular region is in poor shape and young Muslim men get desperate, that would be the fertile ground for the Islamists to recruit new blood.
Sounds like I am being too nice not to bash the ISI or something, like having hope they would cooperate.
Like someone said earlier it's symbollic. Hitler's death was symbollic as Germany was already defeated. Sometimes symbollism can mean a lot. Now the States has to go get that prick in Yemen then kill anyone who comes forward as a terrorist leader. The smart ones are not known for a long time though. OBL had put jihads on the U.S. for a long time before America started paying any attention to him
The U.S. is going to have to pull off covert operations like this to preserve their safety
Yet it was the United States, bin Laden insisted, that was guilty of a double standard.
“It wants to occupy our countries, steal our resources, impose agents on us to rule us and then wants us to agree to all this,” he told CNN in the 1997 interview. “If we refuse to do so, it says we are terrorists.
kinda makes sense though

I'd bet serious money the seals killed him and told the Pakistani's afterwards.The conversation probably went something along these lines"You can look like a stellar U.S ally or you can look like you have been harbouring a mass murderer for 10 years.Your call......just remember.alot of people don't like you already.
Unfortunately it was a clear head shot by a snyper.Yes,it would have been better to know he suffered a slow agonizing death,and someone had pissed on his dying face.
Back in 1998, the last time that there was any solid info on OBL's whereabouts, the US notified Pakistan that they had launched Tomahawk missiles towards his Tarnak Farm compound, since the missiles had to cross Pakistani airspace enroute to Jalalabad. The US gave Pakistan about 15mins notice, but reports at that time show that OBL received a phonecall and was rapidly removed from the area before the missiles hit. After that, there was about zero actionable info on his whereabouts - that includes the "sightings" at Tora Bora...........until this recent job.
Given what happened in August '98, can you imagine what the conversation between the US & Pakistani generals would have been like this time?? "Hey, Azif, yeah, it's Dave. Guess what we're doin' right now?"

I've spent alot of time in the sandbox since this thing started, and I'm sure my family understands and forgives me for saying this, but I wish I was in Kandahar again right now for this occasion.
Do you mean Nargis Danish Clinic? :biggrin1:
I am sure they do not have Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten available.
Obama gave the order.
He did not create the opportunity for the order to be given.
This opportunity was presented by the same intelligence agencies under the same Secretary of Defense.
Nice dodge attempt!
But in the grand scheme of things Obama gets the mega Kudos here!...
Boss, can I ask a favour? If anyone makes any stupid quip about the info being "tainted" becuause the detainees were tortured, or anything that to naturer, could you please ban that person? Much love!
Well, I'm now strating to feel drunk, so its light sdout for mew now.
BZ to the tema & good noght everone,
Holy shit you guys just can't help yourselves. Happy day for America and you can't stop arguing about who deserves the credit. Bunch of fuckin children
You are the idiot who is dodging reality.
You tried to turn this into Obama did what Bush should have done.
