Update: said Spec Op guy says that they lacked precise enough info to go in (they could bomb, but couldn’t get US permission), and on this op likely went in without Paki permission. He is extremely credible, although I’m still skeptical that we would do that without Paki’s permission. But just my opinion.
Someone posted previously that 0bama passed on three previous opportunities to get bin Laden. One was a missile strike and the other two were ops like this.
We have to know 0bama is careless about relations with both allies and enemies. When he was a candidate he recklessly said he might invade Pakistan. Since then we have seen so much more flat-footed and ham-handed words and actions with numerous other nations. I'm waiting to hear how things are going on the street in Pakistan following this news.
