So

OBL goes into Pakistan for protection. Chilled out in a compound right next to a Pakistan military base around 03-04.

My take is some type of quasi prison set up cuz they can't cut him loose cuz he'll cause all types of hell in their backyard and he's to valuable an asset to just off.

He's also something of a folk hero so there are political implications. They do the only thing they can think of and stay quiet.

BO wants him gone for a few different reasons. One is OBL despises BOs Saudi masters, and is a threat to saud sovereignty.

Think Lenin in Russia type of trouble if OBL ever found his way back into SA.

BO cuts aid to pakistan, starts to starve them for Intel of whereabouts. Gets answer but has to pay for it.

Uses awan to send payment. Awan knows where bodies are. Begins to blackmail DNC select. Mad man but untouchable.

Until….
