Crap...he was killed in Pakistan according to CNN

[MrBig]

They're saying he was killed in a mansion near Islamabad. "He was hiding in open site" and not in the caves near the Afghanistan border. This is not going to be good for US/Pakistan relations and I have a scary feeling things aren't going to be getting better any time soon.

1. it may also be the .... we are out of here buddies

that said, pakistan, near a major city... don't surprise me at all. OBL has been an ISI asset for decades

[MichiganVote]

2. ridiculous

[dkf]

3. What would you rather happened?

[MrBig]

11. I would rather have been killed in the caves

I just have a fear that this will open the door for neo cons and/or war hungry people to demand retaliation against Pakistan. After all, they've spent the past 10 years saying they were looking for him and getting order.

4. This is why we have such big problems with Pakistan. They let him hide there and we were

going to go after him wherever he was.

[QED]

6. I agree - he was rumored to have been there for years.

[EFerrari]

16. Our government has known for years that Omar and his crew

were all there. This probably wasn't much of a secret, either. And there were years when BushCo was not looking for OBL at all.

5. Bah Humbug.

He's DEAD!!!!!!!!! I don't care how; I don't care where. :patriot:

[MrBig]

14. Trust me, I agree

I'm glad he is dead. Now I'm just praying it doesn't lead to more war.

7. People knew he was living in a mansion. Christian Amanpour had reported this rumor more than 1 yr ag

I guess they finally pinpointed the location.

8. It should end most of the mission if Pakistan.

In theory.

[Poll_Blind]

9. Yeah, indeed- "A mansion outside of Islamabad". That alone is worth pondering.

I mean, thinking about how that politically works, especially when Pakistan is upset about our drone attacks.

12. :eyeroll:

[Odin2005]

13. I bet he was being protected by the Pakistani security forces, the ISI.

15. India: our new best friends. n/t

[seabeyond]

18. Osama has been in Pakistan the whole time and bush's bestest

buddy Musharreh was protecting him.
