I seriously don't understand why everyone is so excited about this... I mean, he was behind 9/11. So it's cool that we got him... but someone is going to take his place, bomb us again. Everyone is acting like we brought Hitler back and killed him again.
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.
"No matter what Obama says, bin Laden's not dead until Donald Trump see's his death certificate"
Can't. Haha May 1st was also the day Hitler's death was announced. (at 22:30 local time too. About the same time the story was broke.)Hey.. leave hitler out of this Damnit..
