#1 Good luck with that.

Besides proving a negative (Joe oughta know better), they hate derisive laughter.

#2 Lets look at the evidence-Built 5 years ago in a Garrison Town surrounded by Retired Generals and near their requivalent of Sandhurst/Westpoint.

You dont need to be Sherlock Homes to work out that a new house built bigger and higher than the rest of the houses at the expense of a million dollars would not raise suspicion on who lives there!

Ps Reading UK papers 'Waziristan House' was reported to Police many times by neighbours re army drills,jihad chanting but the police didnt want to know saying it comes under military jurisdiction!

#3 The million dollar house was really sad looking. Who would have though the housing bubble in Pakistan had inflated prices so bad that such a dump cost so much. Without a view even.

#6 It looked like a pretty big property in an area where most houses had pocket handkerchief gardens. No doubt the ladies of the house did their sunbathing at night, when the satellites couldn't see them.

#7 The million dollar house was really sad looking.

I was thinking that myself. All you need is the graffitti and you'd have a replica of a Detroit crack house.

#8 Well, ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, jeez...if we knew he was there, don't ya think we would've done something about it?

#9 Huh? The CIA and DI had both 8 months to gather Intel, and the satellite and ground technology and resources to do it. They know everything. BHO's 'I-did-it' self-aggrandizement, could be a ploy to pose the incident as settled. What do you say, GOP?

#10 CNN this Guam AM > LEON PANETTA = repor said that EITEHR THE PAK GOVT "IS INVOLVED" IN HIDING OSAMA, OR "THEY ARE INCOMPETENT".

* ION PANETTA, WAFF > WHITE HOUSE INSIDER: OBAMA HESITATED, PANETTA ISSUED ORDER TO KILL OSAMA BIN LADEN.

ARTIC = also indics that, acting on INTEL rceived, A TIRED-OF-WAITING GEN. PETRAEUS WAS REPOR PREPPING TO ORDER AN AIRSTIKE AGZ OSAMA AT ABBOTTOBAD INDEPENDENT? FROM ORDERS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE???

Whoa.

VERSUS

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > OSAMA DEATH PRE-PLANNED BY US CIA + PAK ISI?, in order to give the USA = POTUS BAMMER + ADMIN a cover to end the GWOT + "gracefully" exit from AFPAK on a high note

POTUS BAMMER gets re-elected for 2012 despite Radical Islam = Insurgency not only NOT MIL DEFEATED BUT ALLOWED TO ENGAGE IN POTENT GOVT. POWER-SHARING [e.g. Hezbollah in Lebanon] WHILE ALSO RECEIVING POST-WITHDRAWAL US $$$ AID IN SUPPORT OF AFPAK "DEMOCRACY".

* SAME > DECLARE PAKISTAN A TERRORIST STATE: SALMAN RUSHDIE.

* SAME > CHINA SWINGS TO DEFENSE OF PAKISTAN | CHINA BACKS PAKISTAN GOVT. AFTER OBL DEATH.

Islamabad's motives + explanations, etc. as per its actions before + during Abbottobad raid by US due to fear by Beijing of PAK national instability/destabilz iff Pak Govt. is not supported.

IIUC, CHINA > PAKISTAN = UNCLE MUAMMAR IN LIBYUH = CHINA'S + US, WORLD'S "FRENEMY" IN WEST ASIA. THE WORLD WID A PRE-ABBOTTOBAD, OSAMA-HIDING ISLAMABAD IS PREFERRED TO THE POST-ABBOTTOBAD, POST-OSAMA ALTERNATIVE IFF ISLAMABAD = PAK STATE [Nuclear = Nukulaar] COLLAPSES???

Oh yeah - "2012" BAMMER-style.
