OSAMA BIN LADEN SHOT DEAD BY U.S. FORCES IN PAKISTAN

In a measure that prior Republican President George W. Bush just could not do, President Barack Obama launched a targeted operation against Osama Bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The attack was carried out by a small team of Americans in which no Americans were harmed. This team of special forces showed extraordinary courage and capability when they successfully orchestrated the attack. Osama bin Ladan was reportedly shot in the head. There have been at least two reports as to the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden's body. The first, is that he was buried at sea, as is custom by an Islamic tradition. The second, his body is in U.S. hands and was shot in the head with a bullet.
People from all over the world are jubilant. Al Qaeda, the mother ship for Islamic extremism, has cast a wide net over much of the Middle East. It has launched spectacular attacks throughout the world -- on U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 that killed at least 224 people, the World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001 that killed over 3000 people, the Madrid train bombings in 2004, fighting with U.S. soldiers in Somalia in 1993, and who could ever forget the attack on the USS Cole that killed 17 sailors in October of 2000.
In my mind it would have been exceptional to see Bin Laden's body on display for the whole world to see. The fact that the number #1 most wanted person and foremost terrorist named by the FBI and U.S. Government is now dead makes people from all over to want to rejoice.He has been claimed to be the most evil man in modern time. Now, one can only wonder where the soul of Osama bin Laden rests, but the majority of everyone who has been touched by the evil of Osama bin Laden would agree that he is now burning in hell.
Since the announcement, security around the world has been stepped up, for a posibility Al Queda attacks in light of bin Laden's death. So far, none have been reported.

President G W Bush Had Intelligence Facts that Terrorists May ATTACK !

In a few weeks, the United States will again honor the dead, the U.S. victims who were killed in the twin towers and commercial jets on September 11, 2001. 

The one thing that the 43rd President of the United States wants to be known for is how he fought against terrorism. In an 'awareness poll' taken here on this blog, people have voted in conclusion that President Bush condones torture tactics, something that terrorists would perform.  President Bush actually believes that he did what it takes to protect this country. Now let's review the facts. Actually since he was President, he should be held responsible for the attacks, especially since there is so much information pointing to him for doing 'nothing'. Incidentally, President Barack Obama does not believe that President Bush should be held directly responsible, but that government should be held responsible "for the unacceptable mistakes it made in the run-up to that terrible day." says Barack Obama, then U.S. Senator from Chicago.  But I also believe that Bush should also be held responsible for doing nothing for the victims of  Hurricane Katrina in their greatest time of need.

On his watch while visiting a grade school class in 2001, this country was attacked by terrorists, as the towers of the world trade center fell to the ground, killing approximately 6000 people.

How could such a thing happen with the FBI and CIA Intelligence and U.S. forces to protect U.S. citizens?

Answer: President Bush ignored his own CIA intelligence warnings that such an attack was eminent. Can you believe that??  Yes, President Bush actually was told by the CIA and U.S. Intelligence that such an attack may happen. (proof to follow in reports below Youtube video)


What did our 43 President do after finding out these facts?   Absolutely nothing !!! Instead, on the fateful day of September 11, 2001, he elected to attend class at Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida. The world trade center in New York was then struck by two airplanes, killing hundreds of people on board the planes and thousands of people in the World Trade Center as it crumbled to the ground. Watch the video below to see how President Bush found out that our country was attacked....




Subject: Bush Warned Bin Laden Wanted to Hijack Planes-NY Times
Date: Thu, 16 May 2002 08:19:41 -0400
From: "Robert Lederman" <robert.lederman@worldnet.att.net>

Let's just review a few facts that have recently come out shall we? The FBI knew Bin Laden's people were studying how to fly (but not land) jumbo jets in various US flight schools. The FBI the CIA and even GW knew they planned to hijack jumbo jets. Every security service in the world knew the WTC was the world's #1 target for Islamic terrorists. Yet, they did nothing, ignored all intelligence, issued no warnings, increased no security. Bush announces, "We hit the trifecta!" after hearing of the attacks. No conspiracy, right?

Bush Was Warned Bin Laden Wanted to Hijack Planes
By DAVID E. SANGER

WASHINGTON, May 15 - The White House said tonight that President Bush had been warned by American intelligence agencies in early August that Osama bin Laden was seeking to hijack aircraft but that the warnings did not contemplate the possibility that the hijackers would turn the planes into guided missiles for a terrorist attack.

"It is widely known that we had information that bin Laden wanted to attack the United States or United States interests abroad," Ari Fleischer, the president's press secretary, said this evening. "The president was also provided information about bin Laden wanting to engage in hijacking in the traditional pre-9/11 sense, not for the use of suicide bombing, not for the use of an airplane as a missile."

Nonetheless the revelation by the White House, made in response to a report about the intelligence warning this evening on CBS News, is bound to fuel Congressional demands for a deeper investigation into why American intelligence agencies and the Federal Bureau of Investigation had failed to put together individual pieces of evidence that, in retrospect, now seem to suggest what was coming.

In the past few days, government officials have acknowledged for the first time that an F.B.I. agent in Phoenix had urged the F.B.I. headquarters to investigate Middle Eastern men enrolled in American flight schools. That
memorandum also cited Mr. bin Laden by name and suggested that his followers could use the schools to train for terror operations, officials who have seen the memorandum said.

Administration officials reached this evening said the warning given to Mr. Bush did not come from the F.B.I. or from the information developed by the Phoenix agent. Instead, it was provided as part of the C.I.A. briefing he is given each morning, suggesting that it was probably based on evidence gathered abroad.

The C.I.A. had been listening intently over the July 4 holiday last year, after what one investigator called "a lot of static in the system suggesting something was coming." But then the evidence disappeared as quickly as it
had arisen, and by August, officials have said, little was heard from Al Qaeda.

The warning of the hijacking was given to the president at his ranch in Crawford, Tex., where he was on vacation.

Taken together, the news of the C.I.A. warning and the information developed separately by the F.B.I. explains Mr. Bush's anger after Sept. 11 that intelligence gathered on American soil and abroad was not being centrally analyzed and that the agencies were not working well together.

Several times he has told audiences that he is working on solving that problem, and these days he is briefed jointly by the F.B.I and the C.I.A., ensuring that each hears information from the other agency.

It was not clear this evening why the White House waited eight months after the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington to reveal what Mr. Bush had been told.

But Mr. Fleischer noted that in the daily flow of intelligence information the president receives, the warning of what appeared to be the threat of a conventional hijacking was not as serious as it appears in retrospect. "We
were a peacetime society, and the F.B.I. had a different mission," he said.

Mr. Fleischer said the information given to the president in Texas had prompted the administration to put law enforcement agencies on alert. But there was no public announcement.

Nonetheless, a senior administration official said tonight that there was speculation within the government that heightened security - if it truly existed in August and September - might have prompted the hijackers to use
box cutters and plastic knives to avoid detection.

The C.I.A. warning might also explain why Mr. Bush's aides were so certain that Mr. bin Laden was behind the attacks almost as soon as they happened. "We never had any real doubt," one senior official involved in the crucial decisions at the White House on Sept. 11 said several months ago.

Until recently, Mr. Bush has deflected demands for a lengthy and detailed investigation into the intelligence failures surrounding the Sept. 11 attacks. White House officials were concerned that the investigation would
feed into demands by Senator Richard C. Shelby, the Alabama Republican who is the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, for the replacement of George J. Tenet as director of central intelligence.

But the news that the hijacking warning was in the president's brief, which Mr. Tenet sees and approves, and that it was linked to Mr. bin Laden is almost certain to widen the scope of the investigation.

Already, several lawmakers who have read the Phoenix memorandum written by the F.B.I. agent have described it as the most significant document to emerge in Congressional inquiries into whether the government might have been warned about possible hijackings.

Now those investigators are almost certain to demand the details of the president's August briefing by the C.I.A. and may ask to hear about how that evidence was developed.

Osama vs. Obama - One Letter in a Name - The difference between a Terrorist and a Hero

Written by the Editor... James

On Thursday, President Obama will address 1.5 billion Muslims from Cairo University. President Obama landed in Egypt today. He arrives as the hero of the free world. Many Muslims are extremely happy that Obama will be coming to visit and give the speech. All except one. Guess who?!?!?!?
Osama Bin Laden surfaced about the time that President Obama landed in Cairo. He is the number one most haunted terrorist living in his own world, hated by everyone except his followers, and they are diminishing. Osama says that the President is "antagonizing Muslims" and claims because of President Obama's policy with Pakistan, he has generated "new seeds of hatred and revenge against America." Of course he would say that. Is he ever going to say anything nice about ANY U.S. President? He claims that Obama is following Bush on his policy of antagonizing Muslims. So how do you think he knows that? He must not be watching any TV in the hole he lives in. He may be the only person on the face of this earth that compares Obama to Bush. Is he absolutely crazy? Bin Laden claims "He has followed the steps of his predecessor," speaking of Obama. He claims that Obama is also laying the foundation of long wars. Again, where has Osama been since the election? Maybe in his hole, hiding from everyone, without a TV or radio. Obama already knows that the Pakistan war will not end overnight. Again, does he think that the military offensive against Taliban and Al Qaeda militants in Pakistan is going to end soon?! Only in Bin Laden's dreams that it would.
Osama knows that, but he is not going to tell the world that his existence is threatened with Obama as President. He is not going to tell you that someday he believes he will be routed out of his hole and brought to justice. He already knows what will happen to him if caught. He is nothing but a smart-alic coward at that. You will never see Osama Bin Laden on any live TV news show. You will only see him on reruns and only on his infamous tapes.
Maybe Bin Laden is jealous that he cannot be there to meet the American President. After all, the rest of the Muslim world will be meeting Obama, but not Osama. Most of the terrorists responsible for 9/11 lived in and around Egypt, and President Obama is extending his hand to a country that contains his own roots.
This is definitely bad news for Osama Bin Laden, and he now must realize that President Obama is not just going to go away.
If he thinks that President Obama plans to run, then he must be the dumbest person under the face of the earth.

Bin Laden's Message in the Era of Obama

 Following report by Tim Roemer, published in 'The Huffington Post' January 16, 2009

The release of yet another tape from Osama Bin Laden Wednesday serves as a reminder of the many leftover issues Barack Obama will inherit from the Bush administration.
In the 22-minute audio tape, the al-Qaeda leader boasts of "new fronts" against the United States and places the blame for the fighting in the Gaza on the United States and moderate Arab states.
His comments on Gaza are a reflection of al-Qaeda's desire for relevance to its target audience. On the issue that has most transfixed the Islamic world, al-Qaeda, the self-appointed spokesmen and "defenders" of the Islamic world, are totally absent from the storyline. The fighting in Gaza is the direct result of Hamas's continued rain of rockets on the heads of Israeli civilians. But Bin Laden, vying to compete with the attention Hamas is receiving, turns the Gaza conflict into a parable about the need to follow al-Qaeda's prescription of violence against America and support for an ultra extremist Caliphate. In the absence of an operational capability in Gaza, Bin Laden is trying to frame his past efforts against America and its moderate Arab allies as a greater threat to Israel than the rockets currently being fired by Hamas.
Still, Al-Qaeda may reclaim its place in the headlines sooner rather than later. As al-Qaeda's safe haven in Pakistan allows it to thrive and the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan gains momentum, the next president will be forced to confront a terrorist group that has gained strength since 9/11, not lost it, and remains a serious threat to the stability of South Asia and the security of the American homeland.
Fortunately, Bin Laden's latest promise of "new fronts" against the United States will not go unmatched. President-elect Obama has already signaled that he will open up his own "new front" against al-Qaeda on the as-yet untouched ideological battlefield. Obama's moves to close Guantanamo and strong anti-torture stance will help deny Bin Laden the political oxygen he needs to incite potential recruits to violence.
Fortunately, Barack Obama has already delivered a blow to al-Qaeda in the "war of ideas." His election, by signaling to the world that America is a country of limitless opportunity whose democracy can correct its own mistakes, has turned Bin Laden's narrative of a corrupt and belligerent America on its head.
