#1 I wouldn't be completely surprised if it was a UBL double, and, Obama knew it when he authorized the mission. Those people in the White House.....

#2 NOTHING about Pakistan's role in and knowledge of UBL's long residence in Pak and the raid adds up - then or now, regardless of what Hersh wrote.

#3 Was there not a quote from one of Osama's wives when ISI showed up after the raid where she said "now you get here"?

#4 I find Hersh's claim that UBL was being kept as a bargaining chip totally believable. That is how things are done in that part of the world.

#7 FYI I was hearing stories about ISI involvement with keeping OBL as a leverage against the U.S. For years. And by keeping, i mean supporting his operations at least partially to keep OBL from trying too hard to bolt.

#8 So... Why aren't the ISI having a spate of workplace accidents?

#9 Personally I do have strong doubts that OBL was "officially" killed at Abbottabad, given both of our links to the CIA during the 1980's anti-Soviet Afghan war + other, + the detected physical presence of certain top USG Personages during his so-called "burial at sea".

Iff it is true that Osama was secretly buried in Pakistan after Abbottabad, then POTUS Bammer + Admin have been "officially" + publicly lying to mainstream America all this time, + continues to do so by insisting that Osama was buried at sea.

WELCOME TO "BLACK/COVERT OPS", AMERIKA, PERHAPS YOU'VE HEARD OF IT???
