This is all starting to “stink”. First off it was a million dollar mansion, now it is a stink hole with no internet access or phone service. How is a terrorist leader running an op out of a place like that? Who is really telling the truth?
It’s a stink hole because first it was shot up, had a helicopter crash inside and blow up and burn, then the Seals did a fast run and grab and getaway. Then the Pakistan military came in and took custody of 23 chidren and perhaps 9 women, including Bin Laden’s wounded and bleeding wife. ALso several other people were also killed and bled all over. Presumably, the woman and children took their possessions that they could carry. Meanwhile the neighbers, adults and kids have been touring the place and who knows what furniture and stuff they carried off, if the military didn’t already grab the best stuff?
Bin Laden deliberately avoided having internet access and phone service to avoid being traced. In fact it was an indiscrete phone call by a friend to his trusted courier that enabled our intelligence to find this place. They had gardens, fruit trees, a cow and chickens, as well as other food delivery, so they were set up for the long war. It probably did cost a million to build with all the walls and fortifications. There just was not a lot of luxury, which was not his style, nor that of the bride that was given to him (the one shot) probably in the tribal territories where luxury for women is unlikely.
