COMPLETE TITLE:

Former top Afghan spy on Pakistan, bin Laden

Amrullah Saleh tells "60 Minutes" he traced bin Laden in 2007 to within 12 miles of where U.S. forces eventually killed him

###

The news that Osama bin Laden had been hiding in plain sight in a Pakistani military town surprised many Americans, but it came as no surprise to the man you'll hear from. His name is Amrullah Saleh and four years ago he told Pakistan's president that bin Laden was living in that very area.

At the time, Saleh was at the height of his power as Afghanistan's top spy, their chief of intelligence. No one worked more closely with the U.S. in the fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban. He is also one of Pakistan's fiercest critics and long before bin Laden's death, behind closed doors, he was urging the U.S. to pay attention to the intelligence he was gathering on Pakistan's covert support for America's enemies

Saleh related the twisted and sickening 'deal' tonight on 60 Minutes .

60 Minutes Video

He also relates Karzai's obvious move closer to the Pakis. He says there are numerous death threats against him, but they don't bother him as he's responsible for killing so many of these beasts (my word).

Video tonight - why he quit.

Video - The extra value of Amrullah Saleh's intel

Another statement by Saleh

Extensive list of Amrullah Saleh speeches. God bless him.

~~~~~

I've always had the sickest feeling in my gut there was such a deal with this America-hating, radical potus.

The Pakis take our billions, hold back high value info, protect the senior Taliban and al Queda (in Quetts), and dribble out grudging cooperation with small potatoes efforts elsewhere.

OUR GOVT OFFICIALS KNOW WHERE THE TALIBAN/AL QUEDA SENIOR LEADERSHIP ARE IN QUETTA .. and these savage beasts are being protected .. by the Pakis and by this miserable, duplicitous CIC!!!

Dear God .. this is beyond outrageous. They all made a reprehensible deal ..a tradeoff. These wars are like a depraved play .. a game to them: you get some/we get some.

How can our decent, patriotic government/congressional officials stand for this ???

Meanwhile, our precious troops come home in body bags or horribly mutilated .. with the full knowledge and agreement of this depraved WH Admin!

Our precious troops are merely pawns in this horrendous game of theirs. BRING THEM HOME!

God bless and protect them and comfort the families of those brave souls who've been sacrificed for a 'deal.'

Everyone and his brother knew where OBL was except our intel agencies! It’s one of the biggest open secrets this side of the 21st century!

You say: “Our precious troops are merely pawns in this horrendous game of theirs. BRING THEM HOME!

God bless and protect them and comfort the families of those brave souls who've been sacrificed for a ‘deal”
************************
You have no idea. Since our traitorous CIC’s new ROE, out troops are being killed in record numbers - in 2009, our KIA DOUBLED from the previous high year. In 2010, it TRIPLED. Already in 1211, it's on track to QUADRUPLE!
And NOT word!

look at the chart.
http://icasualties.org/oef/

The new ROE prevents them from shooting at the enemy coming at him. He must let the Taliban have the first shot! They are often denied air cover when ambushed and being killed:

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2009/09/08/75036/were-pinned-down-4-us-marines.html

Strategic territories that out troops fought in - and died in - were GIFTED to the Taliban without a fight. they just pulled our boys out and LEFT THE ORDINANCE; caches of ammo, rocket propelled grenades, missiles,etc,that the Taliban gloated they would use - and DID - on our troops. Instead of having to hump weapons over and through the mountains from Pakistan - we LEFT THEM WEAPONS! When, in he annals of war, have you ever heard of such a thing. None dare call it treason.(You remember when that was all on the news. NO? OH, right.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WamBeYQeRvE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uj6sRlzgik&feature=fvwrel

the above is just a splinter of what I could tell you. Do you have any idea what a slap in the face this is to our soldiers who went through hell there?

The song and dance going on in Pakistan has been going on for years. Nothing but a dog and pony show - with our soldiers staked out as Judas goats. their new CIC doesn't give a damn about them - he dithered for months before giving them the troops they needed to win - until the momentum was lost...and the Taliban had gained lots of ground, thanks to his Rules of Engagement that he DID put in right away. (Do you remember that he even wanted our troops, not only to let the enemy have the first shot, but to practice "Couragageous Restraint" and not shoot back at all! He even wanted a new medal made for it!)

His ROE favors the Taliban - and they know how to take full advantage.

I cry, maine .. I’ve just known it in my gut and instinct
about our wh monster all along. It makes me sick .. breaks my heart, chokes me with fury. I’ve always known he would give THEM body count from us .. may he rot in hell.

How can the Joint Chiefs, generals, command officers, NCOs stand it .. how can they put up with this criminal treason and outright murder? How can our senate and house?

HOW? How can they NOT resign and have a massive
press conference to reveal to the nation the godless
devil and destroyer amongst us?

God help us .. Merciful God, St. Michael, our Angels .. defend and protect our precious military.

Wolfie .. I agree with you. Gates should’ve resigned (what’s the difference with his term ending so soon) immediately when these wh monsters went back on their word
of secrecy about the raid’s operational details.

He must not have known about the reward. Too bad. Good thing Obama was able to find and kill UBL without any help. .

“Our precious troops are merely pawns in this horrendous game of theirs.”

I want healthcare.....so I’ll hold our guys hostage and change the ROE to kill them more quickly until I get it.

I want the Stimulus....so I’ll hold up DoD funds until I get it.

I want _____________......, So I’ll make sure I have enough troops overseas, and even treble special forces, to make sure they’re overseas when I pull civil unrest go-aheads for my ‘crew’ and to get whatever I want by costing you their blood, disabilities, and lives. The more, the better.

Yes. AfgPak has been especially deadly.

Ubama must be pleased.

Gates should’ve resigned

There's no honor left in our political class anymore, it seems.

Did not Osama die of kidney failure some 7 years ago? If so, this whole Obama staged production is nothing more than lies compounding lies, as a stunt to gain in the polls.

Unless he was under house arrest and under surveillance and Obama chose to take him out to raise his polls and ‘bona fides’.

Obama is ambitious to surpass Osama in every way. He has already caused far more damage to our country's economy and infrastructure than Osama. He is determined to surpass Osama's body count (of dead Americans) through:

•Obamacare
•the new ROE
•billions in aid to AQ
•assisting AQ and other islamist groups in taking control of the ME
•preventing states from defending our borders
