Bin Laden was being hidden in Pakistan by their top military brass. That's why he was harder to capture. U.S. intelligence still had a good idea about his whereabouts.
we would have been captured him, if the Pakistanis allowed us to move larger units within their country same thing happened with Laos and other neighboring countries during the Vietnam war. we weren't allowed to move units/conduct cross border ops, but small groups routinely did when it was necessary, since it was a haven for north Vietnamese forces

Second bomber is surrounded as it is being reported. Dayum this is like a movie being played out. Hollywood will definately make a movie on this one. We can be assured that all the "dark skinned" men in Boston can now breath a sigh of relief.
Alive, but apparently police have called for medical...so maybe not alive for long? http://www.ksl.com/?nid=157&sid=24851310
PJ says ole georgie was following the wrong boys :smt012 on the real tho...i wonder how this is going to turn out if the boy was KILLED, it woulda been much easier..less paperwork now he's in custody, there's going to be protesting, people outraged...full-on media circus involving life/death i mean shit..look at HOW MUCH MONEY is being WASTED trialing that batman theater killer get real america! hang those bishes out in public square for the price of rope
they want to find out if there is a bigger group training these guys. it would be fuck wild if it wasnt...
ah shit i COMPLETELY forgot about that you can't get intel from a corpse lol i see why people are saying 'ya tis GOOD they got him alive' those guys were pretty hardcore...probably is best to waterboard his ass to see if there's more
escape and evasion was lacking too maybe this was like their virgin mission..see if these newbs could be trusted with going through with a bombing, before they got deeper/more trained to be honest tho..our technology is so sophisticated that no matter how well these guys are trained, they come up short in 100% counter measure there's always a gap somewhere and no one is untouchable
No one is untouchable, but it really seemed like amateur hour. There is certainly a reason that the more sophisticated terrorists have a strong scientific or technical background. They have enough sense to at least respect the capability of technology. With that said, I am glad they caught the fool alive even though it is unlikley that he has a very sophisticated mentor.
yup some of these guys are really bright students who study here or in Britain shit really makes you wonder who you're really going to school with
Completely different, though you are right to question any of the narrative associated with bin laden.
comparing bin laden to these fools is like comparing Ray Lewis to Brian Bosworth it's one thing to be digging for someone a CIA/US trained militant in potentially hostile territory, where anyone could put a bullet in your head and an entirely different situation when looking for some facebook noobs, where every block has a camera and cooperative civilians
