I’m going to ask you what I asked another person. Do you know every person that lives within a quarter of a mile from you? Better yet, do you know everyone that lives within a quarter of a mile form your place of work?
The guy who sold Laden his land, didn’t know who he was. His neighbors didn’t know who he was. The children who supposedly entered his compound didn’t know who he was.
It is said that he seldom left his compound over the last six years.
Look, you may be right. I’m not convinced of that. I’m not convinced they didn’t know either. There are some things that are impossible to know for sure.
What I do know is that we were there for forty minutes. There was no opposition from the Pakistani military. Every one of our men made it out with their lives.
If the ISI was as good a friend to Laden as you seem to think, I don’t see that being the outcome.
Hey, that’s my take on it.
This guy is living in the center of a bustling city (not inside caves) in a big real estate close to what is West Point of Pakistan, with military and police head quarters not to far away. Osama lived there for a good amount of time with his entire family and possibly with his AQ support network/operatives, and here you are saying that its conceivable that ISI had no idea? The US was able to get accurate ground intel from thousands of miles away and ISI had absolutely no idea?? Are you crazy?!
