Al Jazeera reports:
Al Jazeera has obtained new footage of the compound where Osama bin Laden was killed.
The pictures show the interiors of the house where the al-Qaeda leader is thought to have been hiding for up to six years.
Filmed during daylight hours, there is no doubt that this is the house where bin Laden was shot and killed by US forces, Al Jazeera’s Imtiaz Tyab said, reporting from the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
It was not immediately clear how long after the raid that the footage was taken.
“We can see the exteriors of the house; we see a garden where vegetables were grown. We see an area where animals were being raised – possible clues of how the people who lived within the high walls of this compound managed to sustain themselves with very little interaction with the outside world,” our correspondent said.
“These pictures … give a sense of just how Osama bin Laden – the world’s most wanted fugitive - lived relatively undetected right here in Abbottabad.”

Posted on May 7, 2011 at 12:14pmAnd those blithering newscasters keep calling it a “multi-million dollar compound.” Like it’s in Hyannisport or the Hamptons. It’s a broken down cement block hovel with pig sty interior decorating in the middle of a hot filthy sandpit. If this is how the wealthy live in a muslim country, it is any wonder sensible people are resistant to their “culture?” Frankly, I wish they’d all go back home and shut the hell up. Islamophobic? Moi? Yeah, I am. Not interested in knowing a single thing about them.

Posted on May 7, 2011 at 12:08pmI find myself wondering if this “win” is going to be turned into a loss intentionally by Barry and his marxist buddies. He is not stopping the investigation into the CIA over this. So what if the real “win” for his anti-American agenda is to further erode our ability to defend ourselves by vilifying the work these agencies did to get Bin Laden?
It’s sad when an administration evokes such a sense of distrust. But one can only go on their record. So far all I see is high crimes and misdemeanors!

Are they taxing you now for the steps you take or the miles you drive?
Are they coming up with new regulations that will make you equally miserable with everyone else?

Posted on May 8, 2011 at 9:11pmLaugh if you want, but I have bought the compound and I’m moving in there this summer! Once the redecorators are finished of course. They need to clean the blood and brains and stuff and remove the dead bodies and bury them at sea. Afterward, they’re doing a total home makeover!
All the the walls will be painted in earth tones, with the molding a slightly darker shade. Carpet in every room from now on, except for the kitchen. The exterior walls of the compound will be painted a shade of beige that blends with the surrounding sand. Phone service and the internet will be piped in. The existing TV service is actually quite good and I’m going to continued to pay OBL bill for that until it expires, then renew.
It’s a fixer-upper to be sure. But once done, I’ll be sitting pretty in beautiful Pakistan.
