Great news for the United States and freedom-loving people all over the world today. Mass-murderer Osama bin Laden is dead!! He was killed yesterday in a US military special operations team attack on his compound in Pakistan.
To President Obama's credit, once in office, he continued to direct the US military to keep looking for the world's greatest scaredy-cat and probably all-time champion at hide-and-seek.
Even Liz stopped what she was doing last night on the internet and watched Obama's announcement. Usually, she has a few choice words and watches something else when the president speaks.
He was killed in Pakistan in a high security compound in a large town about 70 miles north of the capital. Even more surprising, the compound was within a mile of a military post. That either that country's government or people in it were in on the harboring of the man is definite. The president mentioned that Pakistan was in on the strike, but I'm sure they weren't as he would have been tipped off and escaped.
The compound has been there five years and is huge. There is no way that Pakistani authorities couldn't have figured out that he was there.
I see that his body was buried at sea, no doubt because of possible problems with those who would have wanted it back.
I would also expect his organization to launch some terrorist attacks in revenge.
Personally, I thought he was dead a long time ago.
Justice Done, But There Are Still Others Out There.
