World's Most Reviled Terrorist, Osama Bin Laden, Is Dead. Shot And Killed By U.S. Military Operation.
By Lonce LaMon - May 1, 2011

The most wanted and reviled terrorist in the world is now dead. Tonight, it was announced by numerous media reporters, and by the President of the United States, Barack Obama, that Osama Bin Laden has been killed by U.S. military operatives in Pakistan, and that his body has been retrieved and is in the possession of the U.S. military.

President Obama stated in his speech of tonight, Sunday, May 1st, that his operatives to capture or kill Bin Laden were mobilized as a result of a tip he received last August 2010.  As a result of that tip, a special military operation was deployed to a compound in Adilabad, Pakistan, where Obama was informed Bin Laden was hiding. 

Osama Bin Laden was the mastermind of the greatest terrorist attack against the United States in its history.  On September 11th, 2001, nearly three thousand people were killed, collectively, when four hijacked planes flew into both twin towers of the World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York; the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.; and into the ground in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, respectively.  

Two wars were waged by the United States because of Osama Bin Laden as their catalyst--one in Iraq and the other in Afghanistan-- to the tune of one trillion US dollars spent.  Yes, you read that correctly: ONE TRILLION US DOLLARS spent.

 This historic event, the killing of Osama Bin Laden, inspires an emotional “I can’t believe it” reaction in most of us while it marks the end of an era.  It has been an era that defined a presidency—the presidency of George G. W. Bush, as it defined the United State’s entire approach to national security. 

September 11th2001, changed not only the United States of America, but the entire western world.   There is hardly a person alive today who was conscious on September 11th2001 who cannot remember the harrowing images of both World Trade Center towers transforming into dust and pulverizing their way almost harmoniously as they cascaded to the ground.  This writer cannot forget seeing the couple who held hands as they jumped from one of the highest floors of one of the World Trade Center Towers to their inevitable deaths.

For those readers who did not get the chance to hear President Barack Obama’s speech on television tonight at around 9:00 pm, here is a transcription I recorded and typed out:

By President Barack Obama, on the night of May 1st2011.

Tonight I can report to the American people, and to the world, the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama Bin Laden, the leader of Al-Queda—a terrorist who is responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children.

It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history.  The images of 9-11 are seared into our national memory.  Hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky.   The twin towers collapsing to the ground. Black smoke billowing up from the pentagon.  The wreckage of flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.  

The actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.  And yet we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world.  The empty seat at the dinner table.  The children that were forced to grow up without their mother.  Or their father.  Parents who would never know the feeling of their child’s embrace.   Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us.  Leaving a gaping hole in our hearts. 

On September 11th2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together.  We offered our neighbors a hand.  And we offered the wounded our blood.  We reaffirmed our ties to eachother.  And our love of community and country.  On that day, no matter where we came from, what god we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family. 

We were also united in our resolve: to protect our nation, and to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice.  We quickly learned that the 9-11 attacks were carried out by Al-Qaeda, an organization headed by Osama Bin Laden which had openly declared war against the United States and committed to killing innocents in our country and around the globe.  So, we went to war against Al Qaeda--to protect our citizens, our friends and our allies. 

For the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military, and our anti-terrorist professionals, we have made great strides in that effort.  We’ve disrupted terrorist attacks with our homeland defense.  In Afganistan we removed the Taliban government which had given Bin Laden and Al Qaeda safe haven and support.  And around the globe, we have worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of Al Qaeda terrorists including several who were a part of the 9-11 plot.  Yet Osama Bin Laden avoided capture, and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan.  Meanwhile Al-Qaeda continued to operate along that border and with its affiliates across the world. 

And so shortly after taking office, I directed the operator of the CIA to make the killing or capture of Bin Laden the top priority of our war against Al-Queda--even as we continued our broader efforts, to drop, dismantle, and defeat his network. 

Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to Bin Laden.  It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground.  I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located Bin Laden hiding within a compound deep within Pakistan.  And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama Bin Laden and bring him to justice. 

Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Adilabad, Pakistan.  A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability.  No Americans were harmed.  They took care to avoid civilian casualties.  After a firefight, they killed Osama Bin Laden and took custody of his body. 

For over 2 decades, Bin Laden has been Al-Qaeda’s leader and symbol, has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies.   The death of Bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat Al-Queda. 

His death does not mark the end of our effort.  There is no doubt that Al-Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us.  We must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad.  As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not and will never be at war with Islam.  I have made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9-11, that our war is not against Islam.  Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader.  He was a mass murderer of Muslims.  Indeed, Al-Qaeda slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own.  So, his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity. 

Over the years, I have repeatedly made clear, we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where Bin Laden was.  That is what we’ve done.  But it’s important to note that our counter-terrorism and cooperation with Pakistan did lead us to Bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding.  Indeed, Bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well, and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.  

Tonight I called President Zardari, and our team has spoken with our Pakistani counterparts.  They agree, that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations. And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against Al-Queda and its affiliates. 

The American people did not choose this fight.  It came to our shores.  It started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens.  After nearly 10 years of service, struggle, and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war.  These efforts weigh on me every time I, as commander in chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one.  Or a look into the eyes of a service member, who has been gravely wounded.  So, Americans understand the costs of war. 

Yet, as a country we will never tolerate our security being threatened.  Nor stand idly by when our people have been killed.  We will be relentless in defense of our citizens.  And our friends and allies.  We will be true to the values that make us who we are.  And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to Al-Qaeda’s terror, that justice has been done. 

Tonight we give thanks to the countless individuals and intelligence professionals who have worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome.  The American people do not see their work or know their names.  But tonight, they feel the satisfaction of their work, and the result of their pursuit of justice. 

We give thanks to the men who carried out this operation.  For they exemplify the professionalism, the patriotism, and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country.  And they are part of the generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day. 

Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9-11, that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores.  And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9-11.  I know that it has at times frayed.  Yet today’s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country, and the determination of the American people.  The cause of securing our country is not complete, but tonight we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to. 

That is the story of our history: whether it’s the pursuit of prosperity for our people, or the struggle for equality for all our citizens, or commitment to stand up for our values abroad, or our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.  Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 

Thank you.  May God bless you.  And may God bless the United States of America.
