Rare photos reveal Osama bin Laden's Afghan hideout
cnn ^

The house is primitive, constructed of baked mud and stone. The landscape is sparse and mountainous, with snow cover in the winter. The terrain is rugged and challenging for the long walks the owner liked to take with his sons.

Unfortunately, one cannot. The only sure thing being if it is revealed by a politician, or other official person or governmental entity then it is probably a lie or fraud of some sort.

Remember when our foolish lamestream media had us believing Osama bin Laden was hiding in luxury in Tora Bora. -Tom

Thank you. I thought I was the last one.

There's a difference between paranoia and healthy skepticism. There is zero skepticism anymore. I never thought I'd miss the days of Woodward/Bernstein and the vicious lefty MSM. But, we could sure use that now.

This bullshit story was so widely spread even Donald Rumsfeld went for it.

Here is how it ended.
(http://edjayepstein.blogspot.com/2011/05/myth-of-bin-laden-lair.html)
US special forces and their Afghan allies occupied Tora Bora. They painstakingly searched Gree Khil mountain and the surrounding area. They found no underground fortress, no hydro-electric power plant, no 2000-room hotel, no ant farm, no iron doors, no ventilating shafts. The troglodyte Lair of Bin Laden turned out to be mythic.

remember when the leftist mocked Bush for not being able to capture or kill Bin Ladin? (I still suspect he died in Tora Bora - I don’t know who died in the Pakistan Raid)

Remember how silent they were over Clinton not being able to capture the Atlanta Olympic Park Bomber - Eric Rudolph? ... even though he spent years in the North Georgia/Tennessee Mountains.

“GM is alive and Bin Laden is dead.”

Sadly it was an election winning strategy...
