either that or the seals came back to destroy the remaining piece of the stealth helo wreckage (helicopter).

the obummer regime is destroying evidence.
donh commented:
They should leave OBL’s compound standing as a kind of Roach motel for terrorists. Anyone who shows up there gets followed home and the entire family put on a terror watch list.
alulu4youyou commented:
More like Pakistan is trying to destroy any additional evidence left behind which would locate members of Al Qaeda.
Rhoda A commented:
Whatever the reason, getting rid of that compound is the smartest thing that either Pakistan or the US could do. Get rid of any and all physical rallying points for bin lauden.

Who gives a crap about that hovel. Let ‘em use it as a shrine. I for one am sick and tired of hearing about how much they hate us, Osama death is a rallying cry…blah, blah blah. When the oil dries up, those folks are in deep sh*t. They produce nothing but violence, hate and oil.

There are few English language papers in Pakistan. One of the leading ones is Dawn which reports the defense of the Pakistan authorities on the question of their knowledge.
So, there you have it: They raided the House in 2003 and found out a major Al Qaeda operative was there, an operative who — oh my — miraculously escaped their reach so a few years later when another mysterious, well-guarded stranger moved in, very near the Pakistan equivalent of West Point, they never bothered to check him out.
Valerie commented:
Like Donald Rumsfeld, I am really, really neutral on this. I can see good reason to destroy the place, as well as to preserve it (preferably, trash intact).
If they preserve it, I hope they keep track of who visits, and it would be a really nice touch to encourage terrorist tourists to visit and get their pictures taken.

I see nothing offensive about #6. He stated what so many of us feel. Please prove him wrong before you say it’s offensive.

Something went “boom.” But I doubt it was Pakistani officials blowing up the new shrine to bin Laden…unless, of course, the hovel is being demolished and replaced by something more befitting Islam’s equivalent of a saint.

Um, beat it.

#6 Right on.
Cleanup? Were there some grammatical errors in that comment? I suppose the first sentence should be terminated with a question mark. And the third sentence should read, “I, for one, am sick and tired of hearing about how much they hate us, that ‘Osama’s death is a rallying cry!’ – blah, blah blah.”
Other than that, I’d say the comment is perfect.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
um, cleanup in aisle 7.

I mean really. Starting a sentence with “um,”. Who but a troll (of questionable education and genetics) would do such a thing?

To cover up people alledged were there but never were there.
Usama bin Laden died in 2001, as Pakistan, Fox News, Egypt reported in their daily newspapers. Obama is a liar, CIA are liiars, the whole thing was stagged, idiots.

Taqiyyotomist,
