You also have to wonder why we started broadcasting to the world that we had captured computers and DVD and reams of intelligence information.
The mere fact that Al Queda knew that we got a bunch of stuff would make them melt away. Makes you wonder if we didn’t actually get anything, or, if we got bin Laden alive and are running a scam on him.
Occam’s razor says Obama and Leon Panetta are far too stupid to pull off something like this, and in actuallity they are blundering about making mistake after mistake in how they handle the intelligence gained in the raid.
“The mere fact that Al Queda knew that we got a bunch of stuff would make them melt away. Makes you wonder if we didn’t actually get anything, or, if we got bin Laden alive and are running a scam on him.”
Or maybe we got him weeks ago and have only publicized this now that all the leads in the captured intelligence have already been exploited to their full potential. It seems stupendously stupid to blow this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to seriously damage al Qaeda by making maximum use of this intelligence all in favor of scoring a few quick PR points. But given the trade-off, it’s not that surprising these clowns opted for the latter over the former.
“It’s bullshit,” said a senior Pakistani security official, when quizzed on a U.S. intelligence official’s assertion that bin Laden had been “active in operational planning and in driving tactical decisions” of the Islamist militant group from his secret home in the town of Abbottabad.
