Osama bin Laden's hiding place for the last five years was pinned down Monday, June 7 by Middle East sources as the mountainous town of Savzevar in the northeastern Iranian province of Khorasan. He is said to enjoy Iran's sanctuary along with Ayman Al-Zawahiri and five other high-ranking al Qaeda leaders...

Enviro-trash!
We know that his family, wives and kids, and his inner circle were given refuge in Iran. So its not a stretch to imagine he also is there. And we have seen press reports of his sons coming and going from there, and a daughter who supposedly was trying to get out.
So that has been one of my two guesses right along, that he was either in Iran, or in a family villa in Saudi Arabia, maybe on the Red Sea near the Yemen border. I doubt seriously (assuming he is alive) that he is in the war zone where the predators can get at him.
The former assumes he is under Iranian government protection. The latter assumes he is under Saudi protection. Not impossible, considering that the Sauds are not necessarily a monolith united against muslim terror. I suspect he has royal support still.
Thats my story.
Obama and Osama I think must be of the same sect for I don’t believe I’ve heard one criticized the other.
Ah Comm’on!
Can’t we all keep our mouths shut, and let the snipers and drones take out the trash?
Why do we have to fight against ourselves at every turn in the road?
War was never like this in the past, and our forces surprised the Germans at Normandy, surprised The Japanese at Hiroshoima- but everyone kept thier pie-hole shut.
Today the NYT, and all the other scum media lets the scum know that we think they know where they’re at, so they can just move-on.
At some point, the media should be called out as traitors, allowing our forces to be killed, because they couldn’t keep their traps shut long enough for us to take out the trash.
Totally despicable!
Agreed, I can’t recall one quote from our current Present where he actually mentions OBL by name...
If OBL is in Yemen, he is Saudi protected by default. Iran would be far too fantastic, it is a trap...
Remember, this is the Turks revealing this ‘new’ info to Kuwait somehow, for our consumption, in light of the recent Israeli raids on those blockade runners... Ramping it up...
send a few small quiet drones overhead to take a look-see; keep the pilots in the readyroom until we know something.
What we call little things are merely the causes of great things; they are the beginning, the embryo, and it is the point of departure which, generally speaking, decides the whole future of an existence. One single black speck may be the beginning of a gangrene, of a storm, of a revolution." - Amiel, Henri Frederic
Guess I am a retro-kinda guy and not “with-it” in regards to all these new fangled devices.... So drones it is.. and then the B 52’s, both the group and the planes
Several big problems with the story. First, no chance bin Laden and Zawahiri are even in the same area. Bin Laden's last two audio tapes were sent by courier to India and then to Al Jazeera, no need to do that if he was in Iran. Zawahiri would not go to Iran and the Iranians would not let him in and Zawahiri doesn't have the money to pay them off.
Zawahiri is in Pakistan, lots of family there, likely Quetta. Bin Laden could be in Quetta too, but my bet is on Karachi.
Seems as though the vultures are getting along well with the buzzards.
Somebody call “Whore-Aldo” and let him investigate it...
Well now we know he was in Pakistan. Emphasis on was. Now reposed in the sea.
Maybe he also had a place in Iran... and Saudi Arabia...
