The gall!

Again, the Google Maps links that says more than a thousand words:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Abbottabad+pakistan+military+academy&aq=&sll=34.17084,73.233728&sspn=0.06377,0.072956&doflg=ptk&ie=UTF8&hq=pakistan+military+academy&hnear=Abbott%C4%81bad,+Abbottabad,+Khyber+Pakhtunkhwa,+Pakistan&t=h&ll=34.185039,73.235807&spn=0.017715,0.039268&z=15&iwloc=B

The US has been scammed hard - really hard - by Pakistan.

I noticed from that picture that it was very close to a hospital, within about two blocks.

He was reported to be suffering from kidney problems and needing dialysis so that would be a very good location providing both military and health care.

Unfortunately, the military protection didn't work out too well.

I imagine that Pakistan is extremely embarrassed about the U.S. staging the raid and getting away with it uninjured so close to their ‘West Point’ equivalent? military academy.

That's got to send a very pointed message that even when surrounded by hundreds if not thousands of military troops one still isn’t safe from even a simple ground assault let alone a missile attack.

I really wonder how the helicopters got in so far without being discovered or shot down. It was stated that we did lose one copter due to ‘mechanical problems’ and WE destroyed it for ‘security reasons’.

Those choppers aren't heavily reinforced or protected so it is really amazing that they could travel so far into country and not be shot down.

It's hard to determine how much cooperation we got from Pakistan but this makes them look really incompetent.

The viewers reviews of “Osama bin Laden’s Hideout” are even a scream:

As they say in Bora-bora, payback’s a female infidel canine.

I don't think the U.S. was scammed although I understand what you mean. It seems to me that it's been pretty common knowledge that Pakistan has done everything it can to help out terrorist while pretending to help us just so they could keep the money and equipment coming in. It worked, but I don't know how when what they were doing was so transparent. They would go on the offensive when pressured hard enough and accomplish nothing as expected only to pull back and repeat when needed to keep the money coming in.

We knew they were protecting terrorist. We might not of knew to what extent they were doing it, but we knew it(I would assume that many in the government had more knowledge about it than we did so it's a little perplexing to what we thought we were going to gain after so long of working with these terrorist and terrorist sympathizers). We should cut off all funds and equipment to Pakistan and blow the hell out of the military sites and homes of military connected residents near this mansion Bin Laden was living in. I still can't believe we have helped the Pakistani military. We should have sanctions against them while offering assistance and weapon purchases to India as punishment. And if there is ever another war between India and Pakistan I hope India makes it the last by totally destroying them.
