why oh why would they not parade his head on a spike after pursuing him for 10 years?
er, cos that would be slightly inflamatory, offensive and insensitive? (and sick)
why did it take so long to find someone living in a house in a city?
i imagine a lot of the time he wasn’t living there? perhaps in the caves he used? plus i imagine intelligence gathering takes a long time – you’d not want to screw it up, would you?
how can USA swoop into a foreign country and publicly assassinate someone?
he died in a firefight, not an assassination – asassinations are internationally illegal for such people. the mision was to capture him, not asassinate – however i imagine (as someone else pointed out), that capturing someone who was probably being guarded by armed men, none of whom are going to be scared of death, isn’t going to be too easy.
in the sea. for a range of reasons that have already been covered on here and in the media.
Why did OBL attack the US in the first place?
for a whole range of reasons – some delusional, some ‘religious’, probably some to do with economic reasons etc.
of course, i’m sure the tinfoil hat wearers will find some other answers.
