They are so full of kindness and consideration, yet he uses a racial slur? I don't think he meant it in a negative way (I don't think he realised), but still...

Either way, that guy is scarey!

(and this is only half way through . . .)



Edit - He uses it a few times, is the P word acceptable in the US? Over here it's on a par with the n-bomb.

I honestly don't know. I don't know anyone from there or never really had the occasion to talk about them. I thought it was just short for Pakistani I don't think he meant any offense.

I love how his brother insists that the guy isn't crazy, but it's obvious that he's just as far off his rocker.

Well.........

You would't expect a perfectly sane private citizen to go into the mountains of Pakistan looking to kill Osama would you???

Balls of steel. A real American. I don't care how crazy it may seem, the very sentiment behind it speaks volumes.

Crazy or not, I respect the guy. I wish he was my neighbor protecting my hood. I don't think any of us here, not in the armed forces, have the intestinal fortitude to try it.

If he tells where Osama is, he would put people's lives in danger. Kinda the point, isn't it? Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet

Osama's been dead for years. To suggest otherwise is an insult to American Intelligence and military capability.

Why is that we can find the specific cow, of the millions slaughtered, that produced bad meat in a matter of days, yet 10 years on, we just can't find Bin Laden. Makes perfect sense to me. If you're sitting in your backyard reading a newspaper, drones and satellites can read the headlines.

Yet, we quickly see his videos, hear his recordings, know of the whereabouts of top Al Qaida leaders, but we just can't find him. Isn't that just amazing? If the CIA and military intelligence is that weak, the security of the USA is at serious risk. As I write this, Bin Laden may just be riding a John Deere tractor in Round Fart, Idaho making a good wholesome living.

If you really believe that the US military and intelligence machine truly can't find this guy after a decade, step aside and let France have a go. I'd be willing to bet it won't take them a decade. And if it did, would they be any less effective?

We all know and accept that the government never lies, so I guess he's still out there.

It's in the governments best interest to have him alive. It justifies just about anything they want to do. To Al Qaida supporters, their leader will rise up again and do something stupid, so why look for a replacement to the great great leader.

I wish tinfoil hat street hobo vigilante every success. We need more just like him. He'll show the US military and CIA how to get things done.

Guy is a joke. "Hey, look at my smiling face, here I am on TV!" And he was going to go up into mountains, villages "looking", huh? His major firepower, I believe, was only a pistol per the report. Hmm, wonder if he speaks any of the languages there?
Balls of steel? More like thoughtless idiot. No lack of those in the world.
Not impressed.

actually, having a look on wiki, seems to only be used as a racial slur in the UK (and sometimes canada).

Just seems wierd hearing it on a news video like that

Ya, well they casually use words in the UK that make us cringe here. Next time I run into someone from Pakistan, I will ask them

He's simply lucky that he wasn't shipped home in multiple pieces.

Which leads me to believe he didn't get anywhere near his objective.
