#1 No mention of the fact OBL had to be aware the USA was spending millions & employing thousands to track him down & kill him every since 2001. No mention that this might have weakened his grip just a wee little bit.

#2 Doubt it - IMO its more likely Osama's Pakistani protectors had demanded he + family, etal. live that way to minimize or dispel suspicions + detection from a mix of threats, as besides the US-NATO Osama was also at risk from THIRD-PARTY MUSLIM, OTHER ANTAGONISTS. ISLAMABAD MAY HAD REFRAINED FROM GIVING OSAMA ANY SORT OF COVERT = DISGUISED MIL PROTECTION UNTIL HE AGREED TO DO IT THEIR WAY, TO PROTECT PAKISTAN'S DIPLOMATIC, MEDIA BUTT.

As for Osama possibly quarreling wid AYMAN ZAWAHIRI, I'LL HAVE TO HEAR IT FROM AYMAN ZAWAHIRI HIMSELF OR OTHER SELECT CLOSE SOURCES- I won't believe Osama + Ayman were quarreling until I do.

#3 PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM >PAKISTAN REUFESE TO TURN OVER BIN LADEN'S YOUNG BRIDE [Amal al-Sadah = Yemeni] TO THE US.

* TOPIX > BIN LADEN"S YOUNG BRIDE COST US$5000.0.

ARTIC = Amal's marriage to OBL when she was 18 years-old meant to expound Osama's ties to YEMEN.

* TOPIX > [Afghan] TALIBAN SAY BIN LADEN DEATH WILL ONLY ENCOURAGE [more] WAR.

No likely changes to the waging of Jihad.

#5 This will still not save you Zawahri, or you you bastard Mullah Omar. You all shall reap what you have sowed you filthy swine.

#6 Looking at all of the OBL protests the majority were in Pakistan.

Afghanistan/Iraq is not the problem PAKISTAN IS!

#7 Apparently the AQ executive retirement plan is not so hot-so.

Love the photos of OBL's crumbling $1million "mansion" -- which was built just a few years ago. Just so hard to get good help in Pakistan.

And how SEALs dropped right into Paki's ring of steel military. Just so hard to get good help in Pakistan.

And it took the US to ensure a proper funeral. Hope they flushed twice.

#8 Nobody mentioned about how when they caught OBL, he was cross dressed as Barbra Steisand, with as much makeup as Tammy Fae Bakker, and doing karaoke of "Mad About The Boy", surrounded by Michael Jackson posters, while drinking gin from a bottle and sobbing, in his home fern bar/discotheque.

Nor that several SEALs had to be treated for severe homophobia PTSD.

#9 Eichmann wasn't exactly a mover & shaker when captured either.

#10 Osama Bin Laden writing the words of a fatwa that no one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working. Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care ?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
