This is why one of my personal theories for consideration is that Bin Laden was being held for us. While some may not like the idea that Bush knew and didn’t have him killed, the fact still remains that he would be the highest value prisoner. Frankly, the compound sounds like a relatively comfortable prison.
If true, Obama may have screwed us and the pakis hard in the process of stroking his ego and propping up his sagging poll numbers. We lose a source of intelligence and pakistan is likely to fall to the most radical faction.
Just a theory for consideration.
One other curious thing is the so called “stealth” helicopters that took bin laden by surprise at the very same moment a local blogger was tweeting about all the noise.
I still have doubts that Obama actually ordered the killing of OBL. All we have is his word for that. Equally plausible that he held back, but field operatives took advantage of the opportunity under existing ROE (enemy combatant).
I just can’t see Obama doing it, but to his credit, it got done on his watch, whether he, Panetta, or the jolly green giant issued the order.
No offense, I am sure our SEALS can pull off miracles but this whole op smells.
But it did get the BC issue off the Headlines.....didn’t it?
I agree, the whole thing just seems suspicious, like 0bama had entirely different motives. One other thing: I've never seen anything out of 0bama that made me think that he believes America is "his country".
