    Interesting. By the way, have any good pictures of the down helicopter been released?

    I assume/hope they were able to destroy most of the sensitive electronics. The helicopter had a unique tail. I wonder if Pakistan will sell the tail to China or someone.

      Here I go, unable to cite my reference but my memory is still digging deep for it. It might've been the Today Show last week, someone "in the know" was interviewed and talked about how high tech the choppers were, including being rigged for silence. That amazed me. Whodathunk...silent choppers.

        Wouldn't be funny if the highest bidder wasn't a foreign government agency, but some obscenely wealthy individual who wanted a piece of history?

          What really matters is the Paki nukes. While many Paki's are fans of the US, there are so many risk factors concerning their arsenal that they'll probably be our biggest problem, if not already, and once public opinion turns against us, as is the current trend in the area, it's pau. And the chopper tail is the next shoe to drop.

            This is the only picture(s) I've seen on the Internet. Helicopter experts say it is like something they've never seen before. A silent, stealth helicopter. In the early 2000's I worked for a company that was buiding stealth rigid inflatable assault boats for the Navy. No, you may not ask me questions about it.

            I wonder if Pakistan will sell the tail to China or someone.
            The technology is well known to all the world's superpowers.

            In my opinion, Pakistani intelligence has already been compromised by the US. Remember, the Pakistani are the Keystone Kops. I bigger threat, in my opinion, are N. Korea nukes. The "Great Leader" likes to get in his cups with expensive French Brandy. Nothing is worse than a drunk, megalomaniac, narcissistic leader with a nuclear arsenal! Muslims don't drink alcohol.

              True but the biggest issue is would it fit in the freight elevator at my condo building?!!!

                OBL is dead. I'm loving it. For the first time in his life, B.O. did something right.

                    In his life? Really? He was a smoker. I would've thought that fact would be high on the approval list for you.

                        Then obviously it won't fit inside your condo either!

                        The operative word is in the past tense. Good for you.

                            My condo IS larger than the freight elevator...but not by much!

                                CBS 60 Minutes tonight has Steve Kroft's interview with President Obama concerning the Osama bin Laden mission. It is an enlightening interview, conducted by a professional journalist. It is as much a treat to see the adult mind of President Obama at work as it is to see a professional journalist at work, not some disrespectful idiot child attack dog for Fox abusing the medium for political and personal harassment. It is such a change from the childish brat bush years. An intelligent adult mind guiding the nation, what a treat!
