a real president , (one who is not intent on the destruction of the USA) would have stood back and said to Pakistan : “we know you have Osama under your wing, now surrender him to us or the bombing begins on the count of ten, ....one,...two,....three.........

If I was able to find the location marked “Bin Laden’s Hideout” in just a minute or so using your link...why in the heck didn’t the military use Google Maps years ago? Couldn’t they have typed in the same thing and found it just as quickly???

Both Educators and Students of the Pakistani Military Academy got an education of the highest order on how to properly plan and execute a military operation by the world’s utmost Subject Matter Experts, SEAL Team Six. You’re welcome. I hope you took good notes because there will be a quiz at 0600.

Walls around a home are not uncommon there, the richer the person the higher the walls.
He undoubtedly had followers within the Pak government but I wouldn’t go as far as to blame the Pak government for them. It looks like a case of “hiding in plain sight”, where better to hide? He thought we – and the Paks – were still searching the border caves. The high walls, opaque windows, burning their garbage and other security measures show that he was hardly comfortable.

There is a reason we didn’t tell them about the operation. If we had, the compound would have been deserted by the time Seal Team 6 got there.

Say, you really are an idiot, aren't you. If you're that good, here's a test for you. I've hidden a trunk of gold somewhere on the planet. If you can find it, it's yours. Tell me your strategy to find it?

[Imnidiot]

Of course I’d try the normal search route...just type in “Hidden Trunk of Gold” on the internets and see what happens...Hey, you aren’t tryin’ to trick me now, are you? Oh dang, now you’re going to use my advice and get all the gold. Mom was right... I AM an idiot for telling you the way. Dagnab it.

that’s the picture from the arrested development t.v. series - the model home the family lived in or the one built in Iraq that got him arrested, isn’t it?

The real mystery is why they call it “U.S. INTELLIGENCE”?!?

How naive and dumb do you have to be, to be handing over BILLIONS of our hard-earned dollars, year after year, to people who HATE US and want to see us all DEAD? And no doubt we will CONTINUE TO DO SO, under the false concept that U.S. can “BUY” friends and loyalty... WHEN will we ever learn?

[Memoria]

More and more, it feels like we’re all living in some kind of surreal, collective nightmare.

Why do we Americans (or Westerners in general) “trust” LIARS, THUGS & KILLERS, whether they hail from Middle East, Africa, Russia, China (you name it)...or Chicago?

P.S. What is it about “Multiculturalism is a failure” do we still not get??

[Reily]

What “Cultured Westerner's” (particularly American liberals!) don't want to admit to, once you get outside of Western Europe & Japan “....LIARS, THUGS & KILLERS, ....” pretty much sums up the rest of the world !
Liberalism is a massive projection of how I would like the world to be, rather then acknowledge the reality of how it is! Also of course an utter unwillingness to understand that the civilized cultured world that liberals live didn't just pop into existence in their lifetime, it came about through time, trial-and-error, hard work & sacrifice by thousands if not millions of nameless souls. They just can't understand there was a huge cost getting to the state of the “pampered cocoon” the liberal lives in. And that cost must be paid there is NO shortcut, when they try to short circuit it dystopian nightmares are produced, like Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, Maoist China, and others.

Unfortunately we do have to deal with the “....LIARS, THUGS & KILLERS, ....” of the world, we just can't fool ourselves into thinking that they are any more then that and plan accordingly.

Agree totally with your well-stated reply. Thanks.

By the way, on a seemingly unrelated topic, but it came to mind, so there must be some relevance... We used to say, decades ago, that most of those bleeding-heart liberals (think Kennedys) would never be espousing their wondrous views IF they had to live among some of the TRASH they put up on pedestals, instead of living in a sheltered compound at Hyannisport.

And equally seemingly unrelated, but somehow it too comes to mind:
How much of the KENNEDYS’ espousing of POLITICALLY CORRECT CR*P was responsible for somebody like Ann Dunham getting involved in all her Save-the-World efforts and liaisons with Black/minority men? Sort of makes you wonder... How much of the present-world’s catastrophes, unrest, and dim future can be attributed to those starry-eyed Libtards of the 1950s-1960s-1970s-etc., with all their “radical” Liberal theories and policies?

—And if my question sounds racist, well, then, so be it.

To be sure, virtually all the catastrophes and unrest in the USA can be safely attributed to liberals. The vast majority of whom had Ivy League degrees.

Maybe it's time to try something else...

I remember a quote from Bobby Kennedy, “..There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not? ...” I had a social studies teacher in junior high that was always throwing out that quote. In fact she seemed to think it applied to everything. I used to ask her whenever she said that, “Mrs ABC (not using her name though I am sure she is dead now!) imply I could spend me time making a square circle if I had a dream about it!” I remember having to sing the Coca-Cola commercial song, “I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing!”. I'd make a loud comment about why can't the world just teach themselves and leave me out of it!
Later my mother would get a phone call about my showing disrespect in class again. I'd get a ‘talking to’ by my Dad about my “attitude”. Of course it would happen time & time again, I couldn't help myself that teacher was such a freaking moron! And of course loved the Kennedys!

Sorry a typo, just caught it!

“...I could spend me time making a square circle if I had a dream about it!” ...”

I could spend my time making a square circle if I had a dream about it
