Bin Laden could've disappeared for the rest of his days if he wished. He would never have been found. And where does he eventually end up being discovered ten years later? In a mansion in Pakistan watching TV. Nope I just don't buy it. Why not Iran? Plenty of sympathisers there who would've made sure he would've permanently disappeared.

I am sure he had people in Pakistan helping him. He probably thought we've never send troops into Pakistan and so he thought he was safe.

That's a very nonchalant thought from the worlds most wanted man. Iran was, and still is, a no go country for America. Your telling me after 10 years he became mildly blasé about the hunt for him and thought,'nah. Ill be alright here.' . ?

Well remember for a portion of that time, Bush concentrated on Iraq and Bin Laden wasn't priority. I would think Pakistan would be more no go than Iran. There are alot of people who hate us in both countries, but only Pakistan has nukes(yet). Sending troops into Pakistan is much more risky than sending troops into Iran. For years in this very forum I asked why we couldn't send troops into mountain areas in Pakistan, where we thought he was, the response I got was

"no it would be too risky, we would be risking nuclear war with Pakistan. The people that don't like the US, would be up in arms and perhaps cause chaos and perhaps extreme US hating hardliners would take over Pakistan and then who knows what."

maybe Bin Laden thought the same thing and therefor thought he was safe in Pakistan.
