You can run but you can't hide...well, you can hide, but only for about ten years or so.
Then we'll getcha!
But he was found only about 30 miles from Pakistan's capital of Islamabad. Meaning he got a considerable amount of assistance from Pakistani nationals.
Let's hope they get their house in order. I don't want to see a fourth war started!

Yeah! I agree! I'm so relieved UBL wasn't allowed a natural death.
Dear Connecticut Bob,
My name is Barbara O’Brien and I am a political blogger. Just had a question about your blog and couldn’t find an email—please get back to me as soon as you can (barbaraobrien(at)maacenter.org)
Thanks,
Barbara
Way to go, Vigilante!
Hi Barbara, I'm always surprised at people who say they can't find an email address for me. It's on the right side-bar, just a little way down, immediately under the DONATE button, in BOLD RED letters.
I mean, it's not like it's hidden or anything. Go ahead and email me.
It's a monumental hoax. The fact that it's just a Pronouncement of fact with nothing tangible to back it up (no photos or video, etc.) proves that nicely. Remember the media around "Saddam's sons"?
I know. I was hoping someone would knit an afghan out of bin Laden's beard. Ha! An "Afghan"! Get it?
UBL is (make that 'was') not an Afghan.
I know, but he operated out of Afghanistan and hid there quite a bit, so I made a joke about "making" an Afghan out of him.
Jeez, everyone is so literal on this blog! ;)
This is a recent user Diary from "Firedog Lake"-

After you read that, then go dig up your old copy of "Wag The Dog." (Click On My Name Above for the Trailer)
I can't decide which tale I found more hilarious. But with Robert DeNiro and Dustin Hoffman, "Wag" was a more satisfying entertainment experience.
I believe that the Easter Bunny killed OBL and then he buried him in a giant, ornately decorated egg. Then the CIA shot the Easter Bunny to keep him from talking and fed his furry body to Australian crocodiles near Mullenbimby in the Outback.
Prove me wrong. ;)
"Prove me wrong."...
That's brilliant, Bob, and points out the larger issue going on here. The Bin Laden affair is just the vehicle for it. The problem I have is that we (and by "we" I mean the whole world) are supposed to just accept unquestioningly a Pronouncement put out by the US Military as if it's a fact. You and I both know that Psychological Warfare is an essential part of any Campaign today, and one that huge sums are spent on. This one's a real whopper! A media juggernaut!
The fact is that we have a situation here where no attempt was made (and quite deliberately, I might add) to show any proof for what is being claimed. Something that could be dreamed up by some guys sitting around a table somewhere in an afternoon. For that fact alone, I cannot accept the story as the truth. Sorry.
Just a suggestion to lakezoarian: It's up to Osama himself to prove he's still alive. I don't need proof of his death - it's not like Obama climbed on a ship with a huge sign that said, "Mission Accomplished!"
Hi "Vagabond." I see your point, but I don't think it'll ever happen that way for an important reason, and it's one that's central to this controversy- the idea that OBL has been dead for many years, now. He had kidney failure, and already was very sick by 2001. A person who needed to have his entire bloodstream circulated through a machine the size of a motorcycle several times a week would find it impossible to hide. Also search the name "Tim Osman" and see what comes up...
I grew up thinking that America was number 1 in the world. And I still feel we can be great, even greater without resorting to lies and deceptions...
