Remarks by the President on Osama Bin Laden Death

Remarks by the President on Osama Bin Laden

East Room

11:35 P.M. EDT
     THE PRESIDENT:  Good evening.  Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s 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, where 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.  Children who 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 11, 2001, 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 each other, 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 on the United States and was committed to killing innocents in our country and around the globe.  And so we went to war against al Qaeda to protect our citizens, our friends, and our allies.
Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we’ve made great strides in that effort.  We’ve disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense.  In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government, which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven and support.  And around the globe, we 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 from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world.
And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, 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 inside of 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 Abbottabad, 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 two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda’s leader and symbol, and 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 Qaeda.
Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort.  There’s 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 never will be -– at war with Islam.  I’ve 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 has 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’ve repeatedly made clear that 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 counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped 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 my team has also spoken with their 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 Qaeda and its affiliates.
The American people did not choose this fight.  It came to our shores, and 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 look into the eyes of a service member who’s 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:  Justice has been done.
Tonight, we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who’ve worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome.  The American people do not see their work, nor know their names.  But tonight, they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.
We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism, and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country.  And they are part of a 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; our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and 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.

Where on earth is Osama bin laden?

This is very hot topic and very interesting for all those secret agents. Everybody in the world is searching an answer for one question, where on earth is Osama bin laden? I do not know how much the name of this man has made impact in the world. I know you will not listen to me and why should you listen to me? “I know where he is but I will not tell.” Said Mr. A now where you hear such remark from Mr. A then we start to judge the various clouds of elements behind Mr. A, we will ask about his religion, about his culture, country, background, his education and almost everything until and unless we will he will have to come up and say that, “He is near Afghanistan and Pakistan border the place is called Chitral.”

Still, people will doubt him and will not believe him. How can a man be in mountains hidden for more than eight years now? Come on guys, don’t be stupid said one of the friend when we were gossiping about finding Mr. Bin laden. “The mission is not impossible since we are young generation of guys who will do whatever it takes to eradicate extremisms or terrorism from the globe.” Said Mr. B. Now, with so much of talks going on around the world to find out Mr. laden, why the results have been ZERO (0)?

What if we ask ourselves that, there is no person like Mr. laden, it is the fake identity presented to world. The world has seen him through images, news media and listen him through radios but will you believe if we just for a moment will accept on stating that, “Mr. laden is not the real identity.”

Now, again- you will start to doubt and human mind is never satisfied with such a general thinking. Mr. C asked then, “if Mr. laden is fake identity then who is real Mr. Laden”.
“Good question” replied Mr. S.K. and further continued saying,
“See, the world is very small and the people could be made very easily fool and stupid, just deliver your message with fake picture and voice but without revealing your own true identity, Simple.”
Mr. C was more confused and again, asked-
What do you mean by that? Can you elaborate more, please!

“When Jesus said, “I speak the truth and … I am going to take sins of all my people…” Was he really speaking the truth then?” what is the method to validate the “TRUTH”?” replied back Mr. S.K with question to Mr. C

Mr. C did not know the answer and said simply, “I do not know”.

“I predicted your answer before you were going to say, ‘I do not know.’, the world of politics is run by the same approach, where the politicians predict public concerns before they will make any public announcements.” replied Mr. S.K.

“Wow, Sounds very interesting…” said, Mr. C

“Yes, I know.., there are speculations that Mr. Laden is in Chitral, which is border region near Afghanistan and Pakistan. There is also speculation that he is near some place in Pakistan.

How stupid humans have become, and I really feel pity for them….” Was what Mr. S.K answered but he was not clear in his tone of stating the answer. He wanted to reveal and say to the world that he knows the exact location of Mr. laden existence but he stopped. Finally he said,
Come on guys, stop being fooled by our leaders.., stop being fooled by news media and newspaper since their industry and country runs by selling papers. Just use your common sense and see the bigger picture.., you will get an answer suitable to your heart..,
Finally, if you will not be able to find Mr. laden, come to me and I will let you know the “TOP-SECRET FILE”

All the members in the group discussion session clapped Mr. S.K. speech and his story of how he found Mr. Osama bin Laden.

Is Oshama bin laden in Nepal ?

I don't know why I am writing this topic but I think and I always have thought that Oshama bin laden is in Nepal. There are more number of Muslim community in Nepal then in Nepali residing in Nepal alone. I never use to discuss whatever I write with anybody but before writing this My friends do not agree with me. They are saying that Oshama bin laden cannot be in Nepal, No way ! It is impossible and I think I have to agree with them but I don't know I feel as if Oshama bin laden is in Nepal Why any top terrorist is linked with Nepal ? Why is Our country linked as if we are a place to store all the terrorist. I think it has to do with the open border we share with India. It is very easy for any indian to come to Nepal as it is free and open. All the terrorist find them very easy to come to Nepal that is why there is a theme growing in and that theme is that "Do crime in India or in Asia or in World and visit Nepal" I may be wrong about this topic but I think Is their any possibility that Oshama bin laden resides in Nepal ?

Defect in Coffee Vending machine !

Well, This a new discovery- a discovery made when me and some of my friends were yesterday evening doing one assignment. One of my friend asked to have a coffee, so we went to a coffee machine to take coffee. Unfortunately we did not easily found the change or rather coin amount of some 50 Euro Cents. My friend found a Nepali coin of 1Rs. I asked him why not to put that coin instead and see if the value of that coin will give us some coffee. I do not know why I asked that question to him but I did. My friend without any hesitation put the 1 Rs. Nepali coin in the coffee vending machine. We suddenly were socked and surprised by what we saw in the display of that machine. It showed the Nepali 1Rs coin equals to 10 European Cents. I was really amused by all this. Wow, People who invented this lacked one thing. How can this happen ? If anyone will put the iron with the some weight and of equal dimension, then it is going to give you some coffee. Well, nothing can be perfect. Machine are generally made by us so it is our defect. The People who think they are best in technological advancement should think again on the defect it has got. They should think that people from east are not great technologically advance but they are not too bad as well. There can never be perfect solution until and unless it is tested with patience. Once there was a professor who was very proud of the vending machine he was happy and proud that it exists every corner in railway station to university to cinema hall to streets, now Mr. Professor there is defect in your vending machine. Do check it. If possible correct the errors. If not leave it just like that- this is just a coffee my dear.The weakness in technological development will cause Oshama bin Laden's men to easily drop another attack in USA, soon. One should test the system very carefully before letting public to use it. Better luck next time Mr. Professor. Hope you solve the error !
