#1 This is the kind of disinformation campaign I expect Rantburg to generate - nice to see somebody with influence reads us.

#2 Looks like the Saudis are trying to split the Arabs apart from the Egyptians!

#3 The conspiracy theorists are working over time.

I fully expect a serious piece of journalism in a well respected Pakistani newspaper to claim that OBL/UBL(who cares he's dead) was abducted by aliens and the wounds on his body were part of some gruesome experiment. The DEVGRU was sent into recover his mutating and radioactive body to dispose of it. When members of the DEVGRU developed sores, tenacles and antenna, it was thought best to dispose of his body at sea. Of course, there has been a huge fish die off in the area and strange green glowing lights seen underwater.

How's that for an OBL conspiracy story???

Pretty good huh?

#5 Because it's always a good idea to get your military training from a guy whose country hasn't ever won a war...

Now, now - they smacked Uncle Mo but good in that little four-day border cotillion in '77, so they're not completely winless. Of course, even the Chadians have kicked Gaddafi around the laundry room, so maybe that isn't all that impressive.

#6 I thought Ayman Al Zawahiri turned in Bin Laden in return for

a promise not to prosecute CAIR, or

agreeing to leave Janet Neapolitano at DHS,or

free TV coverage of the div I NCAA basketball tournament

(1) Assad betrayed Bin Laden---that's why Americans let that Alawite dog butcher Sirian Sunnis.
(2) Saudis have betrayed Bin Laden---that's why Americans let these Sunni dogs butcher Bahraini Shiites.

#8 The article seems to suppose that the courier who actually betrayed Osama would do so at the risk of his own life in the raid, since Osama was living in his own house.

It also repeats that misinformation that Osama was somehow ill. His autopsy showed that he was in good health and had no health issues, chronic or acute. That baloney about his having a kidney ailment was bogus. Rumsfeld was correct several years ago when he stated that the only information he had of any ailment was speculation in the media and he assumed Osama was in good health.

#9 Nope. Sadr dropped the dime. Its where Dinnerjacket has been the last couple days, oversight. Iran discovered Pakistan knowingly supplied a virus (they blamed it on the US/Israel hegemony, but in fact) bought/given from the Chinese so that both countries would have a nuclear ally in the region yet have hands on a leash. Sadr's contacts with AQ etc. during the fight with the Americans allowed Iranian/Sadr agents to leak small yet important pieces of information.
