We wouldn't worry about Pakistani territorial sovereignty if we had a shot at him right? It really frustrates me he is alive and 4000 more Americans are dead since 911
The attack on Zawahiri demonstrated that we're willing to violate Pakistani sovereignty for the very big fish, in this case, it would be literal. However, I doubt that our satellites can tell the difference between someone that's 6'0 and 6'5 given the dress and the precautions taken by OBL and his entourage. Given that the Pakistani government doesn't even have control of the area, the ability to penetrate the area with HUMINT is also probably very difficult.
