News - Osama Bin Laden - killed In Pakistan

If Pakis knew the location and if indeed they helped in the operation don't you think they would have made sure that OBL would not be killed outside Isloo? I think this is a US intelligence only operation. Let's wait for more news.

I dont think American does not knew that he was living happily in protection of TSP. What do you guys think, Is it going to change anything for us?

People in the know-how in Unkil will surely know if Pakistan helped them or not. So all this attempt to share glory is futile PR exercise. If they did not help, Unkil would be simmering with anger.

^ It's not about what happened on ground; it's all about what the White House will tell the press.

Outside of Islamabad means Rawalpindi. No clear location specified yet. TSP military involved.

We'll see what role the Pakjabis played; but they will claim all they can regardless.

So, who owned the friggin Mansion?

Americans would have always known that Pakis are sheltering OBL... It is the act of giving away the choice card will garner them sympathy/admiration/baksheesh from the US.

It's certainly been an eventful decade!

as per wiki:

In April 2011, it was reported that bin Laden was killed during a US military action.[166] DNA from bin Laden's body, compared with DNA samples on record from his dead sister, confirmed bin Laden's identity. The body was recovered by the US military and is currently in its custody.[citation needed] On May 1st, 2011, US officials confirmed that Osama bin Laden had been killed in a covert operation in Islamabad, Pakistan.[

Moving the body to Afg is good. Otherwise, Pakis may have obfuscated the issue.

Bade · Post by **Bade** » 02 May 2011 08:26

Looks like end of usefulness of TSP/ISI for GOTUS with withdrawal from Afpak in the cards, so no need to keep Osama alive anymore.

No joint operation. It is only CIA operation. Suspect Raymond Davis was part of the story.

They know since 2000. Pure BS after that.

Mort Walker · Post by **Mort Walker** » 02 May 2011 08:27

The question is if OBL was in the heart of TSP, why wasn't he caught alive if there was Pak assistance?

AnantD · Post by **AnantD** » 02 May 2011 08:28

Obama is waiting to make an announcement. Why the long delay of over 1/2 hr. Trying to figure out what role TSP played and how to put a spin on it? I used to kid around that he was in Mushy's guest bedroom, this is as close as it gets.

Found this on another forum.

The delay is to make sure that there is max TV viewership

Sorry guys... right now looks like the president is going to announce the great help provided by the Paks in capturing him and that they have to give Paks F18, F35, neutron bums etc to fight terrorists.

Mort Walker · Post by **Mort Walker** » 02 May 2011 08:31

Political spin is being extracted for maximum benefit.

IfI were GOI, I would be putting the IAF and IA on red alert as we speak.

Americans are known to rally around the country at key moments. This is one such; there will be lots of coming together and united spirit. The next week are so is key in the course of short term history of World.
