No one asked Salty for details, just an idea. Dowd has a great idea,
drop
in a team of Rangers or SEALs. That sounds cool. Is that what you'd do?

OBL worked out of that exact region while he was involved with fighting
the
Russians. So, you're right. Musharraf did NOT create the comfy retreat.
It
already existed. This is a fact. The situation remains the same to this
day.

As far as how to capture him, if he's still there, that's not my job. I
would be guessing and you would pick apart my ideas if I designated the
wrong kind of boots for the soldiers, even though you would also be
guessing.

But, our military knew how. Unfortunately, a mission was cancelled in
2005
due to concerns about annoying Musharraf. It was aimed at one of OBL's
big
shots, but also have nabbed him.

Cancelled because the SecDef had enough sense not to invade the country of
an ally, especially given how wrong intelligence had been in the past.

You're the same guy that says we should have paid no attention to the
intelligence from Iraq.

Jeees, wake up.

If Pakistan was truly an ally, then they would have invited us to go
in and get Bin Laden. They might have even provided additional troops
and equipment for the missio. That's what friends are for.

If they wouldn't let us in, then they are not an ally, but a nation
harboring terrorists. BIG difference.



They did let us in at one point, and where I saw this was sort of
interesting: Discovery Channel's "Planet Earth" show. Their team had to
temporarily postpone their search for snow leopards because they crossed
paths with our troops, who ordered them out of the area for a while.
