I can’t help but wonder if Bin Laden weren’t being held there for our tactical advantage and Obammy double crossed the Pakis to stroke his own ego.
One likely result is the most radical paki faction will gain control and we can add that to a list of Obammy’s failures.
This is most likely an October surprise that had to be
launched early due to the pressure on Barry to release the
birth certificate.
IMHO, of course.

I like the way you are thinking. There is no way U.S. was not aware of this intel for a long time. Ubama has talked trash vs. Pakistan ever since he “won.”
I’m thinking the previous admin may have known OBL was there, but thought twice about raiding into a country that possesses nuclear weapons. Duh. They may have considered how to get OBL out of there alive.
But this administration doesn’t think about such things. Because of the Won’s ego, he had to crow about the operation, which would normally be kept a secret, being CIA and SEALS, doncha know.
He has an animus vs. Pak that we haven’t thoroughly explored.
Anyway, his blabbering puts our troops in Afghan in more danger also. But points need to be made for Ubama’s campaign, which is the overriding concern. Foreign policy failures be damned.
“I can’t help but wonder if Bin Laden weren’t being held there for our tactical advantage..”
I think it is becoming very clear that we have known about Osama’s whereabouts for some time. People whined about Bush not capturing him. Well, if people are really paying attention, they will see that is not exactly accurate.
My guess is that they have been able to monitor a lot of activity out of the compound for several years and a lot of Jihadis have been connected to each other in ways we don’t know about.
I hope Obama’s ego didn’t alter the game plan here. I will assume that it hasn’t and if I were a terrorist leader, I would be very careful as to my movements. We did send a drone attack after the American/Yemeni freak very recently. We shall see.
It would explain the lack of security, and him being "completely confused".
On another note. Fridays Factor had Col. David Hunt and Jennifer Griffin, they gave differing accounts.
Col. David Hunt "....it took about 30 seconds from the time they entered the building until they killed bin Laden."
Jennifer Griffin then stated her sources confirm bin Laden killed at the 20 minute mark.
Not failure. *The point*.

...but are they really failures ! !
