It is ironic that Mr. Obama visits the raid team to thank them, but seems not care much of possibility to expose them. Secretary Gates tells: “– frankly, a week ago Sunday, in the Situation Room, we all agreed that we would not release any operational details from the effort to take out bin Laden. […]
I ‘d rather move on. But strange information keeps coming out. According to NY times below, Navy Seals were authorized to fight against Pakistani military and police if necessary. 2 backup helicopters were planned to wait in Afghanistan, but Mr. Obama changed them to go with the raid group. Posters there are praising Mr. Obama’s […]
I heard that 5 videos released by CIA are fake. So I watched the video of bin Laden watching himself again closely, expanding to full screen. I do not know the old person in the blanket is him, but the hand with remote control pointing ceiling throughout the video does look like younger person’s. Too full for the […]
“This compound in Abbottabad was an active command and control center for al Qaeda” according to CIA. Bin Laden had been marginalized for long time. Then now as he was killed, he was active commander, plotting attack against the US. Really? This is getting pathetic. The Obama administration looks like propping up bin Laden and […]

Japanese proverb “Todai (lighthouse) moto (base) kurashi (is dark)” comes to my mind: Translation: We are apt to overlook important things that lie near at hand. (from J-E dictionary) Maybe Pakistani authorities REALLY did not know that Osama Bin Laden had been hiding for 6 years in the house several hundreds yards from their military […]
It’s been nearly l0 years and apparently he had been alive and well until yesterday. I was inclined to believe that he had been dead for long time due to absence of credible video or tape of his for almost 10 years after 911. Every time something came out, government said, almost automatically, that it […]
Apparently, White House thinks that they can get away with releasing “anybody-can-see” poorly doctored copy of long form birth certificate. I think they are arrogant and smarter rather than stupid. And they have suceeded as far as mainstream media and politicians are concerned. Mr. Obama’s long form birth certificate was released a couple days ago. […]
