#1 Perv and Hamid Gul seem in particular put out about this attack.

How much input did they have re housing OBL?

President Zia has alot to answer for in Modern Pakistan!

#3 Pakistan is walk-in heaven for CIA "assets"; that compound was likely bugged by August 2010. If not, the CIA could pick up all internal communication, by use of sensitive receivers. Then there is the matter of traffic - foot and auto - to the compound. (Locals report numerous visits by persons with luxury vehicles). Micro cameras would have been placed all over the compound. Given that BHO omitted to thank Pakistan in his address, we can take that as a signal that Pakistan harborage can be proven.

I suspect White House delay of justice in this matter. The timing of the commando operation, fits nicely with Legislator recess. Then there is the incessant political-capitalization of the issue by BHO. The truth isn't out there, yet.

#4 Thor Spomorong3332: Good points re: CIA listening in on the compound since August when it was in an area of retired generals, and 100 yds away from a military base and near AQ Khan's house. With the location history (al-Libi), + Khan, Gul, and other ISI ties have been noted before, as well as concerns over Pak nuke insecurity, 9 mos. should have yielded lots of data. Neighbors also noted lots of luxury vehicles coming and going. What do they know and when???? What about tunnels connecting afore-mentioned locales? Does AQ have nukes to carry out their threats??? They also announced the kill shortly after the event but before the hard drives, etc. reached Langley and any key info acted upon....I'm just glad Seal Team 6 operates under the radar and even outside international laws. Actually, I'm surprised they didn't inform O after the fact, to ensure operational surprise--they may have insisted we get a UN mandate first!

If this is true, you have come closer to the truth than you may realize.

A reluctant American president who was ultimately overridden by senior military and intelligence officials to finally take out terrorist Osama Bin Laden
