Even shameless idiots like me can post here...
Even though I know nothing about what I post, r how it is even relevant to anything at all... I can post too.
Even when I have no say in anything or the outcomes of any action (whether political, economic, social, etc., etc., locally, or world wide) I too can post here....
So.... So can fattrad

This thread is hilarious. Bush lost OBL, pulled out of Afghanistan to and basically stopped looking for him. Obama then went all in in Afghanistan, pushed in Pakistan hard and found him and now the only way the Repubs in here can claim any kind of part in this is to pretend that the intel came from torturing people at Gitmo. That assertion, like the idea that Obama wasn't an American, appears to be based on nothing. Pretty sad.

"You are the most clueless ST poster of all time."
 yeah, but I got you pegged, that's fa'show!!!!
And, just like you, no matter how out of I am, I can post here too.
bwahahaa
"You are the most clueless ST poster of all time."
You'd probably have a few takers on that one, but all I'd have to do is bring up your alter-ego and the conversation would be over, chubs.
Just like my climbing career, you're done.
Oh, hey, good call by the way.. you really set me in my place, pulling the "clueless" card.. but if you just take another look at my previous post, you will see... I beat you to that too!
AC - Thanks. Dealing with the lessors of society remind me of a brilliant statement uttered in my direction "There's no way to reverse decline like this Jingy...."
True, so true... there is no way to reverse decline like this..... like fatty-mcballchinian
Coz - "I'm trying to get these talking heads to step down, so guys like you can post."
Not bloody likely Coz. They just like the look of their words on the screen... Its a false sense of empowerment.....

Wow, I know a guy with seal team six. I met him while camping in San Diego with his very beautiful wife. This is very interesting...

The only interesting aspect of this is exactly what parade of Pakistani pols and ISI personnel were in contact with the residence or the courier, ditto for Saudis, Egyptians, and others in the region over the past year or so of surveillance. Probably a few nervous souls out there now.

Sorry but I'm skeptical. First rule of Seal Team Six is you don't talk about Seal Team Six and all that. Apparently it's not even an official designation. I think maybe got got scammed by a rescue diver or someone.

Joseph has a good point - there definitely will be follow up, as they look at whatever evidence they seized, and trace the threads. Probably a few senior people in the Pakistani military and ISI are wondering what's next.

It's not difficult to find Seal members in San Diego if you know where to look.

the commandos moved inside, and finally reached bin Laden’s upstairs living quarters after nearly 40 minutes on the ground. What words if any were exchanged between the Americans and the Saudi-born terrorist are not publicly known, but the SEALs used the code word “Geronimo” to inform their commanders that they had found the target.
“The woman presumed to be his wife . . . was shielding bin Laden,” Brennan said, adding that it was not clear that anyone had forced her to take the action. The White House later said that a woman who died in the assault was not one of bin Laden’s wives.
The al-Qaeda leader was shot at at least once in the head and died instantly, U.S. officials said.

Keep an eye out for upcoming drone-zaps in the next week or two.
As for SEALs in San Diego, yeah, they're there, granite. But they keep a low profile usually.
And SEAL team 6 is not only super badass, but very hush-hush. As they should be...
EDIT: Apparently 'Team 6' is made up of the best of the SEALs. The elite of the elite, if you will.
They operate out of the bounds of military and Int'l law. No paperwork, no accountability. Just do the job.
I like that.

Maybe it's time to remember that the Times of India reported in 2001 that the Pakistani ISI chief was responsble for wiring Mohammed Atta $100,000 before 9-11.
Now there is a lot of Speculation about our Pakistani Allies, since Bin Laden was discovered living in a military area with ISI there too. Did they know or help Bin Laden?
Now, Pakistan has got a huge population, significant military and possesses nukes too. We're already up to our neck in war so you might imagine that even if we find the Pakistani's have been stabbing us in the back, those facts will be suppressed or minimized. That's just the way practical politics work. We only fight weak foes, and even those take a lot of money to dominate.
The role of Pakistan in US terrorism and the Taliban in Afghanistan as well has already been relatively unexamined publicly. Afghanistan would have a hard time making trouble for the US outside of it's borders, Pakistan is another story. They probably would never make it here but we'd never have them pacified either and they have no oil.

Turn it all to glass
That's what my marine family member says.
It always strikes me as strange that someone would advocate killing millions of innocent people, surpassing Hitler's numbers of victims and then some. They claim any attacks on the US were unjustified but are ready to attack huge masses with less cause.
really?

Removing nukes from Pakistan and India would be optimal, bummer that cat's out of the bag. Pakistan is a complex, faceted, layered affair and not one amenable to glassing over.

One thing's for sure, Obama is lucky!
Carter got totally dissed when his rescue mission went bad, and Obama's mission lost one of their helicopters so it came close.
I mean, seems like they would have had to tell Pakistan they were coming (to be denied of course) or risk being shot out of the sky (cause this isn't Waziristan, but a military place) but then what if Bin Laden were in Bed with the Pakistani's? They'd lose their man.
So what if Obama had tried the mission but they got shot down and it became an international incident?
Ironically, if the Pakistan Government denies knowing Americans were coming, they'll look stupid for not having any defenses, and folks will claim, conspiracy theory style, "the Government knew" and they probably did!
Again, helps to be lucky or way smarter in ways we don't see all the details of.
Peace
