Oh really?
The house was built by the ISI as a safe house – you aren’t going to find Bin Laden’s name on the deed. From the pictures I’ve seen, the furniture looks like it came from 1970s retreads from Goodwill.
What exactly is the point of the U.S. Government and media characterizing this as a luxurious mansion? He needed to die for what he has done over the last 25 years, but not because he living a “rich” lifestyle. Beware being sucked into class envy.
Yeah, his housekeeping skills were much to be desired, even after taking into account a SEAL team raid. I think it made a fool out of a lot of people, since they were sure he was somewhere in the tribal regions. In that place, a cardboard box would be upwardly mobile from the cave and tunnel complexes that he was assumed to be living in. But million dollar mansion? I didn’t realize the value of the U.S. dollar had devalued that much!
I’ve been to nicer looking dives for a cold beer.
