The Pentagon has released a Power Point presentation showing some of the background pictures and graphics it used in planning its raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound. We’ve included the five slides below.
The first one shows exactly where the compound was located in Pakistan:
A side-by-side comparison of the compound in 204 and 2011:
The compound in 2011:
And finally, an illustration of the compound:

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 2:02pmReports state that the Osama’s location intel came from “interrogations” in “secret prisons” from “4 years ago”… Techniques that Obamy does not support, from installations Obamy does not support, from a time when Obamy wasn’t in office… hmmm. & he got to tell the Seals to pull the trigger… how gratifying for Obamy…

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 1:57pmThere are many examples to support Obamie is a commie besides the appointment of known communist to administration( Van Jones, Anita Dunn, Carol Browner). Maybe his hero Sal Alinsky is a tip off he might be a “commie.” ( Also a hero of Sal Alinsky) Another clue is all his efforts towards socialism in health care, Unending unemployment, various welfare programs, or his connection to ACORN, Demacratic Socialists of America ( Attended their meetings in 80′s) Spread the wealth around, if not a full blown “commie” definetly has strong marxist leanings ( also wrote he was drawn to marxist thinking and proffessors in college) Many more examples but do I really have to waste more time making the case

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 1:41pmAnyone have exact geo-coordinates for the compound yet? I’ve located some areas just N.E. of the city & towards Kakul which roughly fit the terrain patterns but I’m having trouble identifying the exact compound on Google Earth etc.

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 2:24pmGot it! Geo-coordinates: 34° 10’ 09 66” N 73° 14’33 15” E … doesn’t look much better in color … imagery date of Google Earth is 14 JUN 2005 so a little older than the Pentagon pic but definitely the same compound

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 8:14pmWell I do not know what happened to my post but it bears repeating. The landmass is intentionally shaped to immitate a map of Israel. The internal compound building and wall formations match Solomon’s Temple which now houses the Dome of the Rock Mosque. Anyone with an eye for math and numbers will recognize the the pattern of rectangular structures are laid out in a fibonacci sequence according to the proportions of the golden ration. The grounds of Solomon’s Temple are carefully measured out in sacred God numbers and proportional ratios … http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/emt669/student.folders/frietag.mark/homepage/goldenratio/image19.gif

In late January, a senior Indonesian al-Qaida operative, Umar Patek, was arrested at another location in Abbottabad.
News of his arrest only broke in late March. A Pakistani intelligence official said its officers were led to the house where Patek was staying after they arrested an al-Qaida facilitator, Tahir Shahzad, who worked at the post office there.

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 1:07pmAnd this is Erick Erickson’s response to the death of Osama:
The United States military and intelligence community are owed a huge round of applause for a job well done killing Osama Bin Laden.
From what we know, elements of Pakistan’s government cooperated with the United States in a military operation into a mansion outside Islamabad where we shot and killed Osama Bin Laden. Military installations around the world have raised their alert level. Al Qaeda is not the same as it was back in 2001, but we should not be surprised if some group tries to do something.
As the sun rises this morning, the speculation and spin that the media will readily push out is that this now makes Barack Obama invulnerable to defeat in 2012.
It is an extraordinary accomplishment — one that defies partisanship. Because Barack Obama is President, like with upturns in the economy, he will get the credit.
But the lack of an upturn in the economy will, by 2012, be more relevant. People have short memories. Voters have short memories. The good will toward Mr. Obama will not last past one or two fill ups.
If the economy does not improve, if gas prices do not go down significantly, and if jobs are not created, Barack Obama will lose. The death of Osama Bin Laden is a good thing. But it has no staying power into 2012.

Sounds like he’s viewed in a similar way to the way we view Westboro Baptists… only… for as vile as they are, thy don’t go around killing people. Anyway, sounds like whether or not the Pakistani government approved or helped, the Pakistani people would have.

We have respect & confidence for our military. Very much so. However, very few of us have respect or confidence in Obama. He has been a very big liar for 2 years and we know that the military is trained to obey orders. If obama orders the military to say Usama is dead and to get rid of the body, then that is what the military will do. We all hope that what we have been told is true and I, for one, will believe it until proven different.

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 5:06pmTHIS IS MERELY A DISTRACTION. OSAMA HAS BEEN DEAD FOR YEARS.
Overseas, even others continue to dispute the claims. Syed Munawar Hasan, a member of parliament for Ameer Jamat-e-Islami, is telling the media that the US’ false claim nothing other than propaganda directed against Pakistan
Furthermore, Infowars goes on to cite several other leading officials that have alleged Bin Laden has been long deceased, conjuring recollections of Former CIA official Robert Baer confirming his death in 2008, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf’s assumption that he had passed in 2002 and even Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s 2003 announcement that she believed President George W Bush was waiting for a politically expedient moment to speak about the capture of Bin Laden.
As US officials announced today that photos of Bin Laden’s corpse exist — yet may or may not be released to the media—and that the body has already been disposed of before public consumption, many are demanding proof before they play ball with the word of the government.
