What would you have them do? Dress up in girl scout uniforms and knock on
his door pretending to sell cookies?

Kim, I'm going to presume you've never been to Abbottabad.  I've only been
there enough to drive through, but I have spent some time in nearby towns.
These are towns where it's not uncommon to see people standing in the
streets with rifles hung over their shoulders.  In not-to-far-away Peshawar
I could have easily counted 20 or more armed people standing in the street
at any one time.

Even if this had just been an ordinary house you would have expected people
inside to be armed.  In a compound with 8 foot high walls with barbed wire
on top, there is absolutely no doubt that there would have been numerous
armed people inside.

The US government has stated that "If he had waved a white flag of
surrender, he would have been taken alive". Now of course you can choose to
believe that or not, but it's largely irrelevant - there's no way that he
would have ever surrendered.

Last night in Melbourne someone was shot dead by police.  Ar you going to
consider the Police an "execution squad" too, or were they just reacting to
the situation of someone coming at them with a knife?


It appears they have known he was in Abbottabad since 2008.

It's also a well known fact that Elvis works in my local 7-11.  Or so I've
been told...

Do _you_ have some evidence to support _that_ ?  Or just the word of people
that weren't there?

  Scott.
