Your comments align with my suspicions.
I’ve always thought the killing of Bin Laden fit the same scenario of Obama’s political expediency.
The official story, that our Pakistani allies might have known for years that he was in Abottobad, but Obama & co only found out from a Paki doctor (who found out from children during a CIA-run bogus vaccination program) just didn’t pass the smell test.
Obama knew where OBL was for as long as the Pakis did.
SEVEN years too LATE!!!
