excursion into Pakistan (her homeland) to get bin Laden, a feeling
shared by about 64 percent of the Pakistani population.

I think that may be a distinction without a difference. It may blunt
the excuses being used to start a larger war in Syria but considering
the way we have justified waging these wars, I doubt it.

I hear that the Pakistani's consider her a Saudi as she lived and studied
there a long time.

I am sure Pakistan considers her a Saudi now (given the recent events),
but she was born, raised and lived in Pakistan until she was an adult.

I imagine it all depends on who you ask in Pakistan. This is the
country that harbored OBL for a decade while they helped us look for
him in Afghanistan.
