So, what is the US going to do now that it is clear that Pakistan was hiding Osama all along?

To top it off, the Blackhawk that crashed, reported crash landing in the drill square for the Pakistan Military Academy according to a local tweeter.

Also , I found a photo of the area from 2005, The Bin Laden hideout compound is on the right side of the photo:

How right you are. Jennifer Griffin of Fox reported some hours ago that this area is a retirement haven for Pakistani officials (I guess the Pakistan version of “The Villages”). Her sources tell her that everyone knows everyone here; it’s a tight community.

The CIA is a little slow on the uptake.

Bin laden was not deep within Pah-kistan, he was living it up downtown and going to the drive through at the local Mickey D’s.

That commie son of a whore Barry Hussein is still saying that OBL, the muzzie Pope, was not a muslim leader, and that the Pah-kistanis were cooperative.

This is all about the natural born citizen question.

The usurper in chief is no more qualified to be POTUS than the offspring of an al queda mole illegal alien couple living in the USA that has a baby born here

...the US has been scammed by Pakistan...

The US public has been scammed by the US political class. The US govt agencies and military forces (spec ops, seals, cia, etc.) have known about this location for years.

Since we’ve heard nothing from OBL in years and years...hiding aged bacon is not deception. Digging it up and making it walk for a few seconds then burring it at sea an hour latter seems pretty prone to giggles though.

It’s not like Osama was strolling through the markets. He was hiding behind 18’ walls.

Praise them for their cooperation.

As a local radio host commented this morning about Palistan: “You mean you believed the hooker when she said she loved you?”

The same thing we've done for the last several years that we've known Bin Laden was hiding in Pakistan - nothing. He's been in and out of Pakistan since 2002 and all that will happen is that the US will thank Pakistan for their cooperation, and some in the Pakistani government will take credit while others will pretend to be outraged. It's such a two-faced country, but they have nukes, and so we treat them with kid gloves.

The place gets mixed reviews on Google, I see.

What is more concerning is the likelihood that there are people in American intelligence services who also knew.

I see they have a nice little 9 hole golf course in Abbottabad, also. Very few bunkers from what I can see, though.

Perhaps that was bin Laden's undoing. He could have stayed holed up in the mountains but noooooo............he had to buy a mansion near a golf course.

He's not the first man to be undone in this manner.

Actually, the Military college looks to be about 800 meters away, not 100 as some have reported.

Google Earth puts the two at 1125 yards apart as the crow flies.

[ctdonath2]

Wow. We just embarrassed the hell out of Pakastan.

I’ve got a good depiction of the proximity, just having some trouble linking to it.

[BwanaNdege]

Bin Laden got cocky.

If the idiot had been thinking, he would not have built a compound with a great big LZ inside it! At the very least he should have placed telephone poles strung with steel cables in that open field.

Of course, we would have been forced to use standoff weapons. It is great that they got the body, photos & DNA, plus it looks like they picked up some intel items while there.

BZ to the Seals and other personnel who pulled this off!

Semper Fi!

The British have been telling us about the problems with “pakis” for years. We didn’t listen.

Both Educators and Students of the Pakistani Military Academy got an education of the highest order on how to properly plan and execute a military operation by the world’s utmost Subject Matter Experts, SEAL Team Six. You’re welcome. I hope you took good notes because there will be a quiz at 0600.
