President Obama Addresses Nation, Confirms Death of Osama bin Laden
by Free Britney at .In case you haven't heard, Osama bin Laden is dead. This news came as a major shock Sunday, but few tears are being shed for the terrorist mastermind.
Around 10:50 p.m. EST last night (cutting off the end of shows such as Celebrity Apprentice, amusingly), the story broke that bin Laden had been killed.
At 11:30 p.m., President Obama spoke from the White House, confirming "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat Al-Qaeda."
Here's Obama's address to the American people:
Obama revealed that the intelligence gathering and planning for the operation had been underway since LAST AUGUST and that no Americans were lost.
He reiterated that American is not at war with Islam, saying "we must also reaffirm that the United States is not - and never will be - at war with Islam."
Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader, Obama said, but a mass murderer of Muslims, and a man whose demise was both necessary and very long overdue.
As Obama said, the intelligence and armed services personnel who planned and executed this operation deserve our commendation and gratitude.

The country witnessed the horrific murder of our president in 1963 and the detailed photos after the fact.. We saw Robert Kennedy get shot in the head in 1968.. We witnessed a space shuttle explode and killing all aboard., twice.. We watched as the WTC and Pentagon burned and fell.. We saw as Sadam was hung and the photos afterward.. And the government says that we as a country can't handle seeing such horror and gruesome photos of Bin Laden's demise now.? BULL.! I don't believe one bit that Bin Laden is dead.. No Photos., No helmet camera photos., No witnesses., No testimonies., No valid confirmation, No body PERIOD.. Just some wind-age and aging men on TV in suits.. And now so late after the 'supposed' deed., if and whenever some photos or video arise I will file them along with Big Foot and Leprechaun stories.. In the fake and fiction categories..
@PearTree FOX News is not a credible new source! And before you go jumping down my throat look at the station from an international point of view. FOX News is ridiculed across the globe so anything a former Secretary of State has said on that channel should be taken with a big grain of salt.
@graie_lu And I suppose I look like Britney Spears because I'm blonde and caucasian!!!! Use your bloody common sense, you idiot!!!
Of course he's dead. The American government and the American politician would never lie to or deceive the American Citizen.
i am not happy about that
