CIA Lived Next Door to Bin Laden FOR MONTHS Before Attack

The Obama Administration knew the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden for months.
The grounds of the compound are seen after U.S. Navy SEAL commandos killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad May 2, 2011. Bin Laden was killed in the U.S. special forces assault on the Pakistani compound, then quickly buried at sea, in a dramatic end to the long manhunt for the al Qaeda leader who had been the guiding star of global terrorism.

The CIA was living next door to Osama Bin Laden’s compound for MONTHS before the attack.
The Daily Mail reported:
The CIA spied on Osama bin Laden for months from its own top-secret safehouse in Abbottabad, it has been revealed.
In one of the most intricate intelligence operations in CIA history, spies moved in to a property next door to Bin Laden’s fortified compound to establish his ‘pattern of life’.
The surveillance operation was so extensive that the CIA was forced to go cap in hand to Congress in December to ask for tens of millions of dollars more funding, which was met by creaming money from a variety of other agency budgets.
U.S officials refused to reveal how many agents were part of the close-quarters surveillance team but were at pains to stress the remarkable levels of care required because Bin Laden would flee the moment suspicions were aroused.
They used every possible means to gather information, including Pakistani informants, satellite images, telephoto lenses and listening devices in an attempt to record Bin Laden and his cohorts.
However, Bin Laden was so adept at hiding that the CIA admit to admiring his commitment, having rejected the suspicious-looking trappings of bodyguards and vehicles.
According to Pakistan security officials, the al Qaeda leader spent the last five years living in the same room of his mansion where he was shot and killed by U.S. forces.
The claims were made by the terrorist leader’s wife, who apparently told interrogators that she and her husband had not left the same room for the past half a decade.

Now time to bring all troops home station them at 100 yard intervals along the mexican border and start paying them to bag illegals crossing over

Osama was on death row. Too bad he had ten years of conjugal visits to father more children. Our 3000 dead have been denied their children.

Most repulsive, unconscionable President in our country’s history.

If you really want to see how Obama feels about the CIA watch the video or listen to the interview from Hannity’s radio program regarding the ongoing CIA interrogations.

I don’t have me one of them Harvvvvvvard deeeeeegrees….but it seems to me that maybe capture’n the most valued intel target in the world might of been da smart thing to do….. Oh yeah we did capture him… then we shot him in the head……….the most tell’n thing the president said was on day one…. where he REVEALED …they discussed use’n a drone to bomb the house but they was worried about collateral damage and not being able to have proof that OBL was dead…… Hummmmmm….. nut’n about want to capture him and take him alive…….WONDER WHY?????? YOU WOULD THINK THEY WANT TO WIN AND END THE WAR ON TERROR. That fishy smell ain’t come’n from where OBL sleeps.
ROFLMAO

That explains the 16 hours it took Barry to decide to assassinate, without Miranda Rights being read, without offering an attorney, without the offer to remain silent, not offering a trial in San Francisco or Berkeley.

oBama is ‘getting the credit’ for taking down OBL having known for 10 months of the planning out of the mission to take him down. All this time he has refused more protection at our borders. Will he also be ‘getting the credit’ when they retaliate?

Obama, et al, have been all over the map on this one.
Now they say there was a 25 min. video blackout. Why? So the troops can be blamed for killing when the order was “capture.”
Holder said killing was perfectly legal. Then he says it was kill or capture. Which is it?
pamlinson commented:
This so called “president” merely hitched his wagon to our military and George Bush’s groundwork. He gave the final decision – FINALLY, and wants to wallow in the glory of it.

well that accounts for pig-sty conditions.. /s/
i can say one thing for sure, if he wasn’t physically ill (which i believe
he was), he was assuredly mentally ill (which i also believe he was)..

albeit he’s claimed and owns it (and all of

If this is true (that they knee about his whereabouts for months), then the order to terminate him was made to co-incide with the launch of Barry’s campaign for re-election (barry just launched a few weeks ago).

Can anyone imagine Bush waiting 10 months for confirmation? Can anyone imagine Bush waiting 16 hours? Can anyone imagine Bush not trying to capture for a little one-on-one time? How about immediately telling the world we have his treasure cove of info?
Obama probably made one of the most courageous decisions of any president in history. Swear to God that Brenan said something similar. What do the GOP do? Echo….echo…and would someone please tape McCain and Rodger’s mouths (just to name a couple).
Almost a year to decide to vote present. Give me a break.

re: [How about immediately telling the

mission was top secret, very few people knew..
btw, there is still a treassure trove of info via
Saddam’s Iraq that still hasn’t been revealed..
aah, even if we don’t live long enough to know all there is to know..
future generations will.. for now, the less revealed the better, loose
lips sink ships :aka: Obama’s transparency policy.. gah!!

silent_rage commented:
I’m sorry but it simply isn’t true that they knew for a fact that bin Laden was there.
They traced the courier to that location 9 to 10 months ago, and that is all.

Save the big events for the campaign, don’t ya know? We’re fortunate this puissant worm didn’t try to wait until 10-31-2012 for the attempt.

While I don’t particularly like Obama, dislike his programs, and really don’t like a lot of his staff, I do like how they kept this thing a secret and how the CIA acted like the CIA of old. I do wonder if the secret could have been kept if it had been Bush in the White House or would the whistle have been blown and the CIA been rolled by the democrats. mpw
owl commented:
bg, I don’t need to know real secrets but I hate like hell that Obama insists on telling our enemies all.
Iconoclast, the photo is coming 10/2012. Leaked, dontchaknow.
Capn Angus commented:
Of course none of this was political, but we aren’t talking about Obama’s daddy (No racism intended) getting booted out of Harvard & the Country, or that a Boston Glob(e) reporter sat on the story for 2 years..
We’re not talking about what a weak looking document Obama released last week.
&
It surely won’t be political when Obama releases the photo’s 2 days after Jerome Corsi’s book hits the shelves.
Freddy commented:
I wonder how many of the 40 people that Pakistan arrested today were part of this operation?

Seriously Granny @#14.
If baracky can use them to play to his base, he’ll stick it to our military quicker than you can say ‘gutsy call.”

Closer to probability: The next day, Monday May 2, 2011, Wiley/Keyes vs. Obama appeal request was being heard in the 9th Circuit on his eligibility. It’s the first time anyone has gotten to arguments on the issue. All other cases were dismissed out of the gate. Eligibility is Barry’s achilles heal. He HAD to have the media and everyone else deeply distracted onto something else. It worked.

Does anyone believe this sub-human would have spent 5 years living in fear, in one room if Barack Hussein Obama had been President on 9/11???

All I can say is I hope the last five years of OBL’s life were hell on earth.
