you cant just fly past 3 main operating bases, a number of active AAC fields, 2 corps and reach within 30 miles of the capital as well as some of the nuclear facilities without someone noticing. you have to wonder why they weren't engaged by the regiments at abbotabad or any on the way in or out if they werent identified as friendlies before hand. or maybe we did shoot that apache down
we knew and the operation was supported by the pakistan armed forces. well executed op though. im not very familiar with say blackhawks or apaches, but i seriously doubt that they have the fuel for a minimum 4 hr round trip with a atleast of 1.5 on station in the hover. either that or they came from the AAC field about 40 miles from abbotabad. either way, couldnt have been done with the pakistan armed forces involved.
admitting to it publicly means more pakistani blood. its only been 12 hrs and we already have had 2 suicide bomb attacks killing around 50. imagine backlash if the army says they were involved.

I saw the towers when they were there. I saw the view from Liberty Island when they were not there. I've been to "Ground Zero". I've been to the memorial in Grosvenor Square. There were tears in my eyes for the last three, and I was strongly reminded why I joined up.
I was running a training course on September 11th 2001, with an American on it. He was beside himself, and marooned in the UK for two weeks.
I now live in the US, married to an American.
I will be sinking a few beers tonight, reflecting warmly on "what goes around, comes around" and "do unto others".

You may as well have said the place as a 4 word search on Google reveals the answer in seconds.
Either way - great news and hope the sharks don't choke
("kate", "middleton". "lived" and" overseas")

Pontius, thank you for your robust support (I think I may still owe you a couple of Attack Logs 11A). I did not hit on the connection myself, but rather it was MS BB, a lady of the American persuasion. We shall of course, "going forward", on the advice of the State Department suggest that taxi drivers take us on an alternative route to the Foreign Correspondents' Club.

Now ready yourselves for the inevitable media frenzy regarding "retaliation". Sorry Sky News, the muslim fundies declared war on all of us a long time ago and will kill, maim and behead anyone in the name of their fairytale any time their murderous little genes have the chance.
This will include trying to stir up AQ "sleepers", ie many of our homegrown inadequate bearded tossers to try their hand/hook with garden fertiliser and peroxide on the local shopping mall, bus or tube to emulate their spiritual Fagin who is now being gang raped by goats and rams in what passes for hell after living in Pakistan all these years.
May his arse look like a baboon's already

The direct flight path is some 18 miles north of Peshwar and well below any local radar cover.
The India Times however supports your contention that Pakistani forces were involved.

already been cleared where they operated from. Pak Army Aviation field Ghazi, aka Terbela Dam Airport if your using google maps, about 30NM south west of abbotabad.
for a straight line flight from say jalalabad to abbotabad, you fly within 10 miles of PAF bases Peshawer, Risalpur and Minhas. radar coverage is actually very good in the area. remember our last engagement with india was along the Line of Control in kashmir.
either way....it was a joint operation

If the Pakistanis can "not notice" OBL for 8 years, I suspect they can "not notice" a few US choppers for 2 hours. I'm guessing the US found out his location despite the elements in the Pakistani security service hiding him. So, realising the game was up, they traded him for a few "concessions". Look for something to do with arms, aid or Kashmir in about 3 months. Especially now that India had decided to go European for its next fighter.
....aah, The Great Game is back on again.

November4, I KNOW that but why make it too easy? It was in the papers a few days back that they wanted to go to the Rose Red City.

"If the Pakistanis can "not notice" OBL for 8 years, I suspect they can "not notice" a few US choppers for 2 hours"
the last place you look for your enemy is the room next door. but everyones got their theories.
dont forget, the west only lost a few thousand over the 10 years, care to look at pakistani lives lost because of this guy? heres a hint. the pakistan army has lost an average of 500 soldiers a year since the war starts. that includes US strikes on marked pakistan army posts. civilian losses happen are in the high 30 thousands.
it was the american the terrorists were mad at, yet all the bombing and killings were happening in pakistan.
and still you think the ISI and army were hiding OBL?. ok if you say so
btw
OBL was in that house only 3 years, not 8. the hosue was made 8 years ago. it only became occupied in the last 3

I said "elements", not all of them, or even most of them.
Anyway, maybe they got the address from OBL's Regrets letter envelope for the Royal Wedding.
Certainly explains how they targetted Ghadaffi's house.
Come on, every one EXCEPT Brown and Blair got an Invite didn't they?

Good riddance to the swivel-eyed loon. Hope the lads who dropped him celebrated with a beer and a bacon sandwich before they crack on to the next ones, and fingers crossed there was a good int haul lifted out in the helis.
