| The Poster of Osama that Faulkner used for Knife Taret Practice...I'm not making that up. |
Denver Post - Gary Faulkner, Greeley's famed Osama bin Laden hunter, is overjoyed about the death of the terrorist leader and said it means he won't have to return to Pakistan. Last June, Faulkner was arrested in Pakistan, on a quest to hunt down and kill or capture bin Laden. He was armed with a pistol, sword and night-vision equipment when arrested in the mountains near Islamabad. It was in the foothills north of Islamabad where Navy Seals hit bin Laden's million-dollar compound Sunday and killed him..."I was in those mountains when I was arrested," Faulkner said at his Greeley apartment Monday. "I think maybe I flushed him down out of the mountains into the foothills."
You know who's just not getting enough credit for the Osama Bin Laden Kill? This guy. This frigen guy did all the leg work, at least give him a shout on national TV or something. Willingly spending his free time trapesing about the lonely mountains of Pakistan, just miles from Osama's final hideaway, hot on his heels with a pistol and a hunting knife.
The guy flushed bin Laden right out of his mountainous cave and into the warm hospitable palace he was found in. I have to believe Osama caught wind of some American loon tracking his ass through the mountains and headed for safer shelter with the aid of the Pakistani government. With out Gary Faulkner this monster may have never been caught, would have been content to just live out his days up in the safe altitude of the mountains.
