Probably. And this is why this entire OBL story doesn't add up.
10 years to find a single cave-dweller only to find him on the grid in Islamabad. Give me a break.
As I said before, I'm sure that we've been watching him closely and waiting for a day when his death would be useful as a distraction/morale booster for the general public.
We have satellites that can find a penny on the ground, I bet that they could have killed him at anytime really.
Honestly I don't know. The Pakistani govt is extremely corrupt. I don't think it'd be in their interest to stand between OBL and the US but they're capable of doing it because the mullahs run Pakistan. Nothing is done without their approval; they're choking the country literally.
I'm just saying that it hasn't really been US policy recently to deal with Middle Eastern governments that get in the way of our goals. The government seems to do just whatever they want.
