Osama Bin Ladin Loses Popularity and 30cc of Brain and Skull But Mostly 30cc of Brain and Skull

Ah. I've wanted to write something like that for a long time.

Osama's Compound on Google Maps: Showing the proximity to the military academy.

Special bonus: People have begun "rating" Osama's compound as if it were a business. I just rated it myself -- give it a whirl!


Already Buried At Sea: They already dumped him. I hope it's the Sea of Spoiled Porkmeat.

Four targets were killed, the two brothers who lived at the estate rent free in return for courier work, Osama, and his son. Their bodies were left behind.

Plus, the woman these heroes killed when they used her as a human shield.

Update: Fourth helicopter crashed upon the compound; the SEALs set it afire to destroy it. This is the fire you're seeing at the compound.

Ahem: This was a "well-known military town." Many top generals lived here. A "military garrison town."

Should have blown the whole fucking town up.

If you haven't read this yet, here's how it happened.

First of all, it all was about finding Bin Ladin's courier. Ultimately they traced the courier to this palatial estate which Pakistan surely knew about. They've been waiting to go in there for a while.

U.S. officials did not share with foreign governments any details about the operation before it took place, a senior administration official said, including with Pakistan, whose leaders were informed after the raid. Only a “very small number” of people within the U.S. government knew about it, the senior official said.

The operation, according to senior officials who briefed reporters early Monday morning, hinged almost entirely on the hunt for a single man: a courier operating out of Pakistan who had been trusted by bin Laden for years.

Using information from detainees in U.S. custody, U.S. analysts and operatives spent years figuring out the courier’s identity, concluding that he was a former protege of Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-declared mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks who is being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The courier “in particular had our constant attention,” the official said.

Detainees “identified this man as one of the few al-Qaeda couriers trusted by bin Laden, indicated he might be living with or protecting bin Laden,” the official said. But for years, the United States was unable to track him down or uncover his real name, which did not happen until four years ago. Two years ago, U.S. officials narrowed down the region in Pakistan where the courier was working, senior administration officials said.

So, the Guantanamo suspects that some people wanted to release and some people didn't want to interrogate harshly actually gave up the courier. Four years ago. Ahem.

And then more recently they narrowed down where he was.

But let's not forget that first part, huh?

I guess maybe there is some point in interrogating terrorists? Maybe there's some value in their answers? Maybe they don't "always just tell you what you want to hear"?

Then, in August, U.S. officials found the compound that turned out to be bin Laden’s hiding spot. It was described as an extraordinary place, custom-made for him, with 12- to 18-foot security walls, multiple interior walls dividing the property and massive privacy walls blocking even a third-story balcony. Despite being valued at $1 million, the property had no Internet or phone service, the official said.

“When we saw the compound . . . we were shocked by what we saw,” the official told reporters, describing it as “an extraordinarily unique compound,” built perhaps in 2005 and expressly for bin Laden. “Everything we saw . . . was perfectly consistent with what our experts expected bin Laden’s hideout to look like.”

Given... That a Guantanamo detainee began giving up details on the courier in 2006-2007, I googled "Al Qaeda high ranking captured" and looked for that time range.

Here's the first one that popped up. A high ranking Al Qaeda who was in Saddam Hussein's regime.

The al-Qaeda leader who is thought to have devised the plan for the July 7 suicide bombings in London and an array of terrorist plots against Britain has been captured by the Americans.

Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi, a former major in Saddam Hussein’s army, was apprehended as he tried to enter Iraq from Iran and was transferred this week to the “high-value detainee programme” at Guantanamo Bay.

The date of that post is April 27th, 2007, almost exactly four years ago.

Is this the guy? No idea. But someone in a position to know started talking then.


Gateway Pundit: Osama's Very Secret Covert Mansion Which Pakistan Couldn't Have Known About Was Across The Street From a Police Station: And also, some kind of government graduate school.

Oh, and also, the town of Abbottabad...

... is the headquarters of a brigade of the Pakistan Army’s 2nd Division

So, yeah.

That last quote is from the Washington Post article.

Yeah, we're really getting our money's worth out of the billions we're giving them every year, huh?

Pull the plug, sabotage their economy.

Enemy state.

A Gory Dramatization: The picture I'm going to link is graphically violent. It's also, I'm assured, graphically fake. Apparently this faked picture of a dead bin Ladin has been circulated for months.

But I'm going to link it anyway, because I'm sure he looks something like this. I just heard, he officially has the bullseye bullethole in the center of his forehead just above his eyeline. So, imagine the bullet wound here a little up and little to the left.

So here's a fake, but close enough so who cares, picture of a dead bin Ladin, Graphic content and graphic fakery warning appended.

Tick-Tock: A timeline of the day's events.

In case it's gotten lost, we plugged one of his demonspawn whore-sons too.

16 I believe the compound was built in 2005 so it's possible that he may have been living there for years. But I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't have several compounds scattered around Pakistan that he's been bouncing between Saddam-style.

How much the Pakistanis knew is still a mystery - but I'm not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. I think it's telling that no Pakistanis were involved with the raid.

Ace, that's interesting detective work.

And I'm feeling better about the whole "who this helps politically" angle, which God help me bothers me. Republican candidates can well say in 2012 that between gurgles, KSM gave us vital intel. (Not that they will, being Republicans.)

131 From The Australian:


Pakistani intelligence officials said the attack was launched from a
Pakistani air base by four helicopters. Americans forces reportedly lost
a helicopter in the operation due to "mechanical failure" and it was
destroyed by the Americans.
The US said no Americans were hurt,
but officials said the raid left three men and a woman dead. Two of the
men worked as couriers for bin Laden and the third was believed to be an
adult son of the terrorist leader, a US official said.

At one point he says "I determined that the intelligence was sufficient..." Now, granted, he has to make the call, but he's just passing himself off as some sort of intelligence analyst when he puts it that way.
He called this the most important development since 9/11, or some such thing. Apparently wiping out all of Al Qaida's operations in Afghanistan, and wiping out tens of thousands of them in Iraqdon't count so much. As Bush explained a long time ago, Osama - for all his evil notoriety - was still just one guy. The focus was never on just getting him.

The idea that torture doesn't work is a bullshit lie that the media has gotten through as fact. They've twisted that torture is worthless for obtaining confession to a crime to torture is worthless for everything. So the "torture" that we did on Gitmo prisoners was successful and since it was not to get them to confess to crimes you could actually check on each of their claims to see if it is worthwhile intelligence.

The lucky bastard that pulled the trigger has our eternal thanks, and if it weren't for the threat to his life, he deserves a parade through Manhattan.
Now, watch the news Monday to see the miserable Pakistanis pour into the streets, killing each other in their rage. About that time Obama needs to make another announcement: "By the way, we're not giving you goat-fuckers any more money! So long, suckers!"

"Beginning in September, the CIA began to work with Obama on a set of intelligence assessments, which led him to believe that it was possible that bin Laden might be located at the compound in Pakistan.
By mid-February, Obama determined that there was a sound intelligence basis for pursuing this and developing courses of action in case it proved correct. A month later, he began holding National Security Council meetings, which totaled five by the end of March."

During an operation in which troops were on the ground for just 40 minutes, they stormed the terror chief's hideaway.
In a dramatic finale, it is said that bin Laden was offered the chance to surrender. But the leader, who had always said he would not be captured alive, refused and was blasted in the head by troops.
Three of the terror leader's men, including his own son, were also killed along with a woman they tried to act as a human shield in a furious firefight.

The easiest call ever was that Obama, a Zbig and Kissenger protege, would be the one to bag Osama. Tim Osman (Osama's CIA code name, which is code for 'The Ottoman') was put into play by Zbig under Carter when the Mujahideen was established as a proxy war force to at first battle the Russians, and then to use as an antagonist. Osman was the left hand of his father, who owns the Carlyle Group along with the Bushes and Sarkozys.

Osman has been dead for years. He was hospitalized and was barely alive the months before the September 11th bombing. It was Obama's trump card, and Zbig had this one stashed for right when the dollar was about to fail, which it is. Now when the dollar fails, which it will in a matter of weeks if not days, the US Empire, or what is left of it, will say to the world, 'But you all need us! Look at the good we do! Who will apprehend the criminals if not us?'

So yes, Obama is going to get a big smack on the lips from Nobel, the long forgotten Rotheschilde liasion.

254 Wow, I was glad to read this news account. Because what I was really worried about was accordance with Islamic practice. I feel so much better now.


The United States is treating Osama bin Laden's body in "accordance with Islamic practice," a White House official says.

President Obama announced Sunday night that American forces killed bin
Laden in Pakistan and that they took his body afterward. He said no
Americans were harmed in the fight.

Asked how bin Laden's body will be treated, a senior administration
official told reporters on a conference call that "we are ensuring that
is handled in accordance with Islamic practice and tradition."

The official, who refused to be identified, said the matter is
"something that we take very seriously, and so, therefore, this is being
handled in an appropriate manner."

Yes, it's very interesting. But stuff like this has been happening almost daily since the Skinny Freak took office(Ready to Rule!), it's staring you right in the face, but if you connect the dots, a la Beck, you just get pounded.

Of course this is the way it will be portrayed by the ball-licking media like AP. I'm surprised "The Warrior Preznit" didn't show up in camo gear.
From AP:
On April 29, Obama approved an operation to kill bin Laden. It was a mission that required surgical accuracy, even more precision than could be delivered by the government's sophisticated Predator drones. To execute it, Obama tapped a small contingent of the Navy's elite SEAL Team Six and put them under the command of CIA Director Leon Panetta, whose analysts monitored the compound from afar.
Panetta was directly in charge of the team, a U.S. official said, and his conference room was transformed into a command center.

274 Ok, look again at the Google map. They hide the name of the capital, Islamabad in the default view -- it's just north of Rawalpindi (which shows up). But if you look about 30 miles south from Casa bin Laden, that's it. Honestly, bin Laden was about 30 miles away from Pakistan's capital, in broad sight, in a million dollar mansion. He was closer to Islamabad than Baltimore Washington International airport is to Washington. But I'm supposed to believe that Pakistan had no idea he was there.



Riiiiiiight.

They can suck his wank all they want, but the facts will come out. He gave the go ahead, but he didn't actually have a choice. The CIA and our military could have did have the means to take him out without deWon being involved at all. He had no choice but to kill the bastard, because once his location was known, if he hadn't given the order to take him out it would have eventually leaked. Plus, the bastard believes that this will help him get re-elected. It won't, but I'm sure he's got that stupid ass grin on his face thinking it will.

278 PoconoJoe- I'm now hearing that Panetta and Barack were actually part of the team that dropped into the compound. Under heavy fire during the initial assault, the two of them broke off from the main group and cornered a heavily armed contingent of bandits including Bin Laden and his wives and eunochs in the pantry. Panetta, due to sincere heroism found himself out of ammo whereupon Barack brilliantly executed a running dive and tossed a fresh clip to Panetta- enabling him to terminate with extreme prejudice. Reggie Love brought up the rear. Powers Boothe was impressed.

This was just off the wire.

It will eventually come out that SEAL team six was hand picked by Obama because he had been advising them behind the scenes for the last 10 years. And despite Panetta being a lifelong phony beaureaucrat he was perfectly suited to the job of being in command of the operation due to the fact that in reality he is a Shaolin Warrior.

Method other:

Let the jihadiscum have the bod. Let them build a shrine. Then have it regularly visited by "suicide bombers" ... or drones... to thin the jihadiscum numbers in an other than tactical environment.

The guys that had to deal with Mogadishu were in the level 11 shit storm where every best alternative was bad.It's a good thing Obama's lazy enough that he had almost zero input into this to where he would have screwed the pooch, which is what Johnson or Carter would have done.

344 40 minutes on the ground is an eternity for a "lightning raid". If we did not have Pakistani approval/assistance, the attack on bin Laden's compound would have brought the Pakistani police and military. Something our operators would not want to have to deal with.

I read a news story that a Pakistani military helicopter was shot down in this area at the time of the raid. A witness described "heavy firing" before the chopper crashed. Did we shoot it down? I don't have a link. Just Google "Pakistani Helicopter Crash" and you will find it.

346 Also, operations of this kind are usually accompanied by perimeter security to protect the operators as they perform the mission.
