Bin laden dead!

[Swalphin]

i;m going to have to rewind this speach or maybe i misunderstood what he just said.

anyone else hear Obama say he ordered the strike today and bin laden was killed today?

Today yes by special ops. they had a lead they had pursued since last august

 

[AustinTink]

Killed today, not last week.

 

[RitaZ.]

Didn't President Obama just say he was killed today?

Yes. It was ordered today and he was killed today.

 

[Swalphin]

Those special ops. are heroes, I can't even begin to imagine. Proud day for this country.

 

[disneyjunkie]

The President said he was killed to day.

God Bless the troops who did that for our country - and to all those who have fought this war!! This is great day!!

 

["Got Disney"]

yes he did....sure that will all be cleared up either way....it was a firefight on the ground....and I wonder if what he meant was that he gave the order today to announce the news?

 

[Kurby]

it's great they finally got him but now makes me wonder what his followers might do to get even

 

[snarlingcoyote]

God Bless the troops who did that for our country - and to all those who have fought this war!! This is great day!!

Amen!

My mind is replaying the attacks of 9/11. 9 1/2 years later and I can see those planes as clearly as it if were yesterday.

I hope he's burning way way down below.

I've heard the U.S. had some of his DNA on hand to compare it to his body.

if I remember correctly, there are family members that do not agree with his feelings or beliefs toward our country. They surely could have provided DNA.

on his death:

thank you President Obama and to everyone in Intelligence, Special Ops, etc who had anything to do with this!!!!

 

[Kurby]

what are these drones they keep talking about?

According to ABC News, he was living in a mansion.

His death won't deter his followers, but it is a huge blow to them.

I feel bad for those relatives. I have seen TV shows about how hard life was for relatives of Hitler who didn't agree with him.

I posted this on the other thread, but I liked this and figured you all might like it too. It was very respectful of President Obama.

President George W. Bush said:

Earlier this evening, President Obama called to inform me that American forces killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of the al Qaeda network that attacked America on September 11, 2001. I congratulated him and the men and women of our military and intelligence communities who devoted their lives to this mission. They have our everlasting gratitude. This momentous achievement marks a victory for America, for people who seek peace around the world, and for all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001. The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done
