Can google see Osama's hideout?

[Abaddon]

Sooooo, who's going to post a screen grab of it, and the distance to the Pakistani Military base first?

"near Islamabad"

Gogoogo!

 

[PeteAtoms]

There's a pic on the BBC website?

This seems to be it based on the reviews at least. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=osama&hl=en&ie=UTF8&view=map&cid=11196890339658103699&t=h&z=16&iwloc=A

It is actually near a police station in the military town of Abbottabad. Kewl name of the town btw. Seems sinister.

 

[PeteAtoms]

Yeah, I heard reports saying it was in a compound/home roughly 12 times larger than any of the surrounding homes.

 

[JtheJackal]

Can't 100% say my link is accurate, but people seem to think that's the house.

 

[JtheJackal]

The BBC is reporting a different location, more outside the urban area which I bet is more accurate.

...or "the site formerly known as Osama's hideout"? From what I've read the SEALs torched it on their way out, I'm surprised they didn't drop a bomb or two on it just to add the exclamation point on the op.

They should make it 3d

Doubtful considering ABC has been reporting from inside the building afterwards....

Google sees all except for Cheny. Duh.

I'll be there in 4 days, 12 hours.

Well put the beers on ice, it will take me 5 hours longer!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Beer and ice ....

Hmmm ...

Better bring some, I think they're in short supply.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

You can get cheap AK-47's for self defense in Bosnia, just drop by

Who needs defence? Osama's dead! Rejoice!

Nah, you can buy alcohol in Pakistan. Anyone can, though if you're white it's a lot easier.

It's pretty cool that you could, in theory, drive to Pakistan from Europe (though the visa requirements might be a tad bit tedious).

Trying to imagine Iran's customs reaction. "Hi, I'm a white guy with an AK47 in my trunk. I want to drive to Pakistan. Thanks!"

Just lie you're muslim and you're going on Jihad, I bet they will give you a few hand grenades free

Nice scenery along the way as well.
