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!
No indication bin Laden moved much, if at all, from Abbottabad compound in 6 year since it was built - NBC News
6 years!!!!!!!!! You mean he’s been living for 6 years within spitting distance of the Pakistani West Point in an affluent neighborhood full of retired Pakistani army officers. Pakistan should be worrying more than just about the Indians at this point. If we had a real president we would be DEMANDING answers from Islamabad.
It isn’t just the ISI that is bad news, its the entire Pakistani security establishment. We can stop worrying about whether the Pakistani nuclear stockpile will ever fall into the wrong hands . . . it’s already in the wrong hands.
