I always thought it was odd that Bush stopped worrying about OBL b/c he was "hiding in a cave." Wow that is really a successful operation, the criminal is hiding! Yay! And making all sorts of media & propaganda in the "cave." Anyway -- I think lots of Americans wish they had a "cave" that size!

2. Maybe he meant hiding in his "Man Cave"?

living by himself on the top floor. So I was just as wrong I guess. He built his own hotel.

10. I was trying to think of what that place reminded me of
and it is the "prison" Colombia kept Pablo Escobar in under "house arrest".

If that is how Pakistan thought they could keep OBL from us they really don't think much of US intelligence capabilities. That thing looks like a fortified embassy or a small prison.

11. Yea, well how do you expect a man who needs dialysis to make
it in a cave? Of course he lived in a mansion. As to why he was able to live there for so many years when so many were looking for him-sure beats me.
