Osama bin Laden is dead! President Obama stated that U.S. forces killed the founder of Al-Qaeda during a firefight - apparently Mr. bin Laden was hiding in a mansion near the capital of Pakistan.

Wait. Say that again? Hiding in a mansion? Near the capital?

I guess we know why Pakistan was so adamant about CIA operatives and American drones leaving their country. It's because they aren't doing what we have paid them millions of dollars to do! After all, the most wanted man in the world was chilling out in a grand estate right under their noses - their efforts to counteract terrorism and locate Osama were clearly less than vigorous.

But, I suppose it was a good political move by Obama to mention their help. The last thing we need now is increased tension.
