This whole spectacle is a political stunt. We have known his location for months if not years. His compound most certainly has been under surveylance in every imaginable way for intelligence gathering. Obama made the decision to cash in his political chips now probably because of sagging poll numbers.

For the next couple of weeks or so. I agree with some others on this thread that we've known about this compound for quite some time. I'm sure the president would have liked to put this attack off for the next 17 months or so, but something changed to force his hand at this particular moment. Otherwise, I just can't see him releasing the birth certificate the same week as this mission.
