Osama bin Laden 'living comfortably in Pakistan'

Telegraph.co.uk

Osama bin Laden is alive and well and living comfortably in a house in the north-west of Pakistan protected by local people and elements of the country's intelligence services, according to a senior Nato official.

"Nobody in al-Qaeda is living in a cave," according to an unnamed Nato official quoted by CNN.

if they know where he is, why don't they go and get him??
did we need any invitation to go to afghanistan and get the taliban?
did we need any permission to go to iraq and get Saddam?

They don't know where he is, just suspect roughly where he is, also you might notice that Pakistan is a nuclear power.

so is the US and many of our Allies.
I think the US has no interest in Osama...never did actually.

It called "actionable intelligence" - information which is detailed and reliable enough to plan assualt

Simple things like

Exact Location (address) of house Bin Laden alleged to be hiding in

Houses in this part of world are often surrounded by high thick walls - how do you get in ?

Number of guards in/around house? How armed? Are "professional" aka well trained and alert or simply thugs ?

What room is Bin Laden in? How mnay other people in house? Are they armed? Need layout of house

Type of neighborhood house is in - odds are Bin Laden has planted lookouts/stooges all over area to alert
on all comings/goings

Assume want to capture Bin Laden rather than simply whacking him

Need detailed intelligence to plan such a takedown - otherwise turns into bloody fiasco with lot of people getting killed in process

Truthers make things sound so simple.....

we didn't need "actionable intelligence" to get Saddam, we got that "actionable intelligence" on the battle ground months later.

The plan is not to go to war with Pakistan, so we do need "actionable intelligence."

It took 9 months to locate Saddam hiding place

This was after firefight with his 2 sons and bodyguards - took hours including firing anti tank missiles and helicopter gunships into compound

On 22 July 2003, Task Force 20, aided by troops of the U.S. Army 101st Airborne Division, had a showdown with Uday, Qusay and Qusay's 14-year-old son Mustapha during a raid on a home in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. He had been the Ace of Hearts on the most-wanted Iraqi playing cards (with Qusay being the Ace of Clubs). Acting on a tip from an unidentified Iraqi, the blocking element from the 101st Airborne Division provided security while the Task Force 20 operators attempted to apprehend the inhabitants of the house. After U.S. troops hotwired Uday's Lamborghini[citation needed], he revealed himself, upon which a gunfight ensued. The assault element withdrew to request backup. As many as 200 American troops, later aided by OH-58 Kiowa helicopters and an A-10 "Warthog", surrounded and fired upon the house. After approximately four hours of battle, soldiers entered the house and found four bodies, including the Hussein brothers' bodyguard.

Location was tipped off by one of Saddam relatives

Later on the American command said that dental records had conclusively identified two of the dead men as Saddam Hussein's sons. They also announced that the informant (possibly the owner of the villa in Mosul in which the brothers were killed) would receive the combined $30 million award previously offered for their apprehension

Soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division and US Special Forces (Task Force 20) watch as a TOW missile strikes the side of a house occupied by Uday and Qusay Hussein in Mosul, on 22 July 2003Furthermore, the owner of the villa, Nawaf az-Zaydan, who is distantly related to Saddam, was granted U.S. citizenship and permitted to depart from Iraq. Locals said Zeidan had tipped off United States forces that Saddam's sons were staying there. In what was likely an act of revenge, on 18 June 2004, Zeidan's brother Salaah al-Zeidan was killed, and three of his male relatives (including an eight-year-old boy) traveling in the same vehicle were wounded by unknown assassins.

Just shows you what it takes .....

we even tried to kill him
www.arabicnews.com...

The sources said that when the US intelligence department made sure through hirelings in the field of the identity of the persons and after several reports confirmed that the meeting was held and Saddam was taking part in it, the US air force was notified and by its turn sent planes that destroyed the site within 45 minutes.

we could do the same...but the reality is that we don't care about Osama any more...we did what we wanted, so the Osama angle is not need it any more.

but you can be sure his name will be used again in the next false flag

You don't think the allegation is designed to legitimise attacks on Pakistan's sovereign territory? You're very quick to believe the MSM here.

again, the false flag

OBL is dead! The article says that Pakistani's have said he's been inside their country for a long time. Inaccurate! The prime minister says he's dead and so did Bhutto.
