With all these theories, a good one might be that this is an obama RE-ELECTION ploy. Imagine this:
Everyone knew where OBL was, but they left him alone as it was easy to monitor him there and see who came and went, etc. That explains why Pakistan didn’t out him.

Obama knew all this, but saw a bigger personal advantage in killing OBL and taking full credit for the decision himself, which HE DID!

The Paks knew that we knew and that we knew that they knew etc., so ergo, the HUGE SURPRISE when OBL is snuffed.

The Paks don’t know whether they are afoot or on horseback. Neither do we...

Which makes them particularly dangerous.

If the Assange wiki-leaks was set to release this, then Obama had to act. It wouldn’t surprise me at all that the CIA has been watching and listening for some time.

I think this was a re-election ploy, but it went awry.

0bama said he sent SEALs in so we could get a body. Supposedly if we did an airstrike, the story was we would never know. Yet we have done plenty of airstrikes, and always sent teams in to scour for pieces afterward. It doesn’t make ID of the targets impossible, and there is always chatter afterward, anyway.

I think the SEALs were sent in to try and capture OBL alive. If they did, then you have a year and a half of the media talking about OBL’s trial, his punishment, etc. The media could talk about OBL 24/7 right through the election, and discuss over and over how 0bama caught him. Plus, that is much more in tune with 0bama’s Liberal psychology, which would have wanted to see “the rule of law” applied. No way 0bama authorizes a kill mission, even for OBL.

The SEALs had a different idea. They see leftists prosecuting their buddies because a terrorist got a fat lip. They see leftists trying to free terrorists in trials left and right. They take OBL alive, and maybe one day OBL is walking free in America on a taxpayer funded government stipend, with a big cash settlement for all the pain and suffering America inflicted on him.

Hell, we’re paying for a cliff-side house overlooking a beach in Bermuda, as well as clothes and food, for some Al Qaida terrorists from Guantanamo right now. They probably have a stipend too. We couldn’t send them home because their home country might not be nice to them, on account they were terrorists.

So right as the SEALs are about to go in, they have a malfunction of their video system, and next thing you know OBL is dead. Seems kind of convenient for America, and inconvenient for 0bama

Now, by the next election, OBL will be old news. Somehow, I tend to think Liberals would have preferred things go differently.

Wiki-leaks may have rushed things, but I think 0bama’s plan for this whole thing was a little different, and more political than one would think. That might even have explained the angry expression as he watched the operation unfold. The SEALs did what they felt was best for America, and 0bama was helpless to stop them.

Be funny if that SEAL who offed Bin Ladin actually did fire a shot which changed the course of history.
