Yet for some reason the Paki paper was the pivotal resourse to which you first made reference?
"Good data," you say?
We have most if not all of the material, both the published stuff...
Yeah, and a stack of Paki papers too, no doubt.
-- sorry, I'm just not buying it.
OBL's been cave plaster since 2001. In the last 10 years sinc, we secured an American presense in Afghanistan and in Iraq, which has divided and in effect neutralized radical Islam stretching from Israel to India, and to the North of that chain of countries has allowed us to co-opt Khazakh's in the air superiority power-projection basing sense.
If the word was confirmed that OBL was dead in 2001, that divide and conquer strategy never would have played out as well as it has.
Kudos to Bush for keeping a lid on it long enough to have the Israelis blow away Saddam's WMDs in Syria, and get all the nuke stuff quietly spirited away to Canada for nutralization and de-commissioning.
Obama on the other hand is using the May 1 event as a rationale for America to disengage from the region -- polishing dismal foreign affairs credentials, pulling out in time for the election and declaring symbollic "victory" without producing any credible evidence for what he supposedly did, he loses the check the US has on Iran's eastern flank, and lets the Paki's remain the thorn in India's side -- exactly as the Chinese creditors would want it to be.
FReegards!
