WASHINGTON — Osama bin Laden, the Saudi extremist whose al-Qaida

terrorist organization killed more than 3,000 people in coordinated
attacks on the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001, is dead following a military
operation in Pakistan and the U.S. has recovered his body, U.S.
President Barack Obama announced Sunday night.
"Justice has been done," the president declared as crowds formed
outside the White House to celebrate, singing "The Star-Spangled
Banner" and "We Are the Champions," NBC News reported.
Obama said bin Laden, whom he called a terrorist "responsible for the
murder of thousands of American men, women and children," was
killed in Pakistan earlier in the day after a firefight in an operation that
was based on U.S. intelligence.
Officials long believed that bin Laden, the most wanted man in the
world, was hiding a mountainous region along the Pakistan-Afghanistan
border.
It is a major accomplishment for Obama and his national security team,
having fulfilled the goal once voiced by Obama's predecessor, George
W. Bush, to bring to justice the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks.
Obama declared that "the death of bin Laden marks the most
significant achievement to date in our nation's struggle to defeat al-
Qaida," he stressed that the effort continues.
"We must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad," he said,
while emphasizing that "the United States is not and never will be at
war with Islam."

Osama Bin Laden Pronounced Dead…For the Ninth Time

When Obama pronounced Osama Bin Laden dead in a televised
announcement heard round the world last night, he was at least the ninth
major head of state or high-ranking government official to have done so.

Given Bin Laden’s documented kidney problems and consequent need

for dialysis, government officials, heads of state and counterterrorism
experts have repeatedly opined that Osama Bin Laden has in fact been
dead for some time. These assertions are based on Bin Laden’s failing
health in late 2001 and visible signs of his deteriorating condition, as
well as actual reports of his death from the same time frame.

In July of 2001, Osama Bin Laden was flown to the American Hospital
in Dubai for kidney treatment. According to French intelligence sources,
he was there met by the local CIA attache. When the agent bragged
about his encounter to friends later, he was promptly recalled to
Washington.

On the eve of September 11, Osama Bin Laden was staying in a

Pakistani military hospital under the watchful eye of Pakistan’s ISI, the
Pakistani equivalent of the CIA with deep ties to the American
intelligence community.
In October 2001, Bin Laden appeared in a videotape wearing army fatigues and
Islamic headdress, looking visibly pale and gaunt. In December of 2001, another
videotape was released, this time showing a seriously ill Bin Laden who was
seemingly unable to move his left arm.

Then on December 26, 2001, Fox News reported on a Pakistan Observer story that
the Afghan Taliban had officially pronounced Osama Bin Laden dead earlier that
month. According to the report, he was buried less than 24 hours later in an
unmarked grave in accordance with Wahabbist Sunni practices.

What followed was a string of pronouncements from officials affirming what was
already obvious: supposedly living in caves and bunkers in the mountainous pass
between Afghanistan and Pakistan, Osama would have been deprived of the
dialysis equipment that he required to live.

On January 18, 2002, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf announced quite

bluntly: “I think now, frankly, he is dead.”

On July 17, 2002, the then-head of counterterrorism at the FBI, Dale Watson, told
a conference of law enforcement officials that “I

In September 2006, French intelligence leaked a report suggesting Osama had died
in Pakistan.

On November 2, 2007, former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto told Al-
Jazeera’s David Frost that Omar Sheikh had killed Osama Bin Laden.

In March 2009, former US foreign intelligence officer and professor of

international relations at Boston University Angelo Codevilla stated: “All the
evidence suggests Elvis Presley is more alive today than Osama Bin Laden.”

In May 2009, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari confirmed that his “counterparts
in the American intelligence agencies” hadn’t heard anything from Bin Laden in
seven years and confirmed “I don’t think he’s alive.”
Pakistan credibility suffered serious
blow after Osama's death: CRS report
May 7, 2011, 12.09pm IST

WASHINGTON: Pakistan's credibility has suffered

a "serious blow" in the aftermath of the killing of
Osama bin Laden at a compound near its premier
military academy in Abbottabad, where the dreaded
terrorist had been living for years, a Congressional
report has said.
The location and circumstances of bin Laden's
killing have "exacerbated Washington's long-held
doubts about Pakistan's commitment to ostensibly
shared goals of defeating religious extremism, and
may jeopardise future US assistance to Pakistan,"
the Congressional Research Service (CRS) said in its
latest report on the implication of the al-Qaeda
chief's death.

Should the world be filled with awe and content that the

Godfather of "Islamic" terrorism Osama bin

Laden has finally been killed?

The news, coverup and rejuvenated façade by corporate

media groups around the world, particularly American
CNN and British BBC continue with the same old "Osama
Most Wanted" rhetoric despite the fact that he had died
back in 2002.

Shocked?

Source reports exclusive to Terminal X reveal that during

his stay at rugged Tora Bora, Osama bin Laden's health
was deteriorating further which was prompting him to
plan for an alternative rest-house. At that time, Khalid
Sheikh Mohammed (CIA double-agent) approached
Osama and offered him a 'safe haven' in Pakistan if he
was willing to accompany him. After a few days, bin
Laden conveyed his message of agreement and planned
his journey with the undercover operative. Before he
could Tora Bora's boundary, Osama bin Laden was killed
by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

A hard blow was sufficient to knock life out the frail and
slim Osama bin Laden, a left-handed person. This
incident took place in 2002 before Daniel Perle's
abduction and murder.

Obama Reports Death of Osama Bin

Laden – Why Should We Care?
In late 2003, I was working in a supermarket meat room slowly saving
money to fund a trip to Asia.  My coworkers were quintessential
working class Americans, staunch believers in the virtues of Capitalism
and the existence of the American Dream, self-professed conservatives
to the core who firmly supported any and all military action undertaken
to defend “our freedoms.”  And so it was not surprising when, on
December 14, I clocked in to work to be greeted by the exultant
manager.  ”We got ‘im!”  he proclaimed gleefully.  For some
inexplicable reason, he and my other coworkers seem to have derived
some sense of self-worth from the capture of a Middle Eastern dictator
who had previously had the tacit support of our own U.S. government.

My response then was the same as it is today, in the wake of the fresh
claims that Osama Bin Laden has been killed in Pakistan:  who cares?
Just as the capture of Saddam Hussein bore little relevance to the
concerns of ordinary Americans, so too does the purported death of Bin
Laden – also a one-time ally of the United States – have little impact on
the life of the common person.

Osama Bin Laden may or may not have been responsible for the attacks
of 9/11.  Even if one accepts the official narrative of the events of that
day, killing Bin Laden fails to address the core issues at the heart of
modern terrorism.  Attacking Al Qaida addresses the symptoms of the
disease but not its root cause; it’s like bailing out a sinking ship but
ignoring the holes in its hull.

If terrorism exists, it exists because we encouraged it by our own

actions.  The actions of American corporations – and the puppet
government that it controls in Washington – are the real cause of hatred
against America, and therefore the cause of any acts of violence against
us.  If the United States was not engaged in five concurrent wars, we
would have far fewer enemies.  If the U.S. military empire did not have
outposts in some 150+ countries; if American corporations – aided by
the IMF, World Bank, and U.S. government policies – were not involved
in the systematic exploitation and suppression of developing nations
around the world, it’s hard to imagine there would be much motivation
to join radical groups like Al Qaida.  If the U.S. did not continue to offer
unrelenting financial and military support the brutal Israeli regime, if we
hadn’t directly caused the deaths of some 500,000 Iraqi children, if we
hadn’t suppressed democratic movements in nations around the globe,
there would be no reason for anyone to hate us.  Contrary to the
Bush/Obama mantra, no one “hates us for our freedoms.”  In actuality, if
the U.S. refrained from any sort of interference  - either militaristic or
economic – in the affairs of other nations, we would have no enemies
whatsoever.

The most relevant revelations from today’s headlines have nothing to do

with the demise of Osama Bin Laden at all.  Instead, we should be
looking at the subtext, the background details of the major media stories
which actually communicate the crucial information.  Where, after all,
did this strike occur?
Mr. Obama said he was briefed last August on a possible lead to bin
Laden’s location. He said the terrorist leader had been hiding in a
compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

The president said he authorized a mission last week to “get Osama bin
Laden and bring him to justice.”

Mr. Obama said a small team of Americans Sunday carried out the
operation on the compound.

Does anyone care that this strike took place in Pakistan, a country with
which we are not even formally at war?  Have the American people
authorized a war in Pakistan?   Yes, U.S. military actions in Pakistan
have been common knowledge for at least several years, but why isn’t
there more outrage?  Is it because the average American’s knowledge of
geography is so poor that he presumes Afghanistan and Pakistan to be
the same country?  Since when is it acceptable for a president to
unilaterally authorize military action in a foreign country?

The answer should be obvious, but reveals itself in the very language
Obama has chosen.  Take a closer look at the above quotation, and ask
yourself where you’ve heard similar rhetoric:

 The president said he authorized a mission last week to “get Osama bin
Laden and bring him to justice.”

The above quote could easily have come from a news story from 2002.
What we see, both in action and in words, is a faithful continuation of
the Bush regime.  The policies and even language of the Obama
administration is virtually indistinguishable from that of his predecessor,
and yet somehow, in today’s twisted, frenzied, media-induced fantasy-
land, Obama is portrayed as a fanatical socialist, a staunch champion of
the progressive left.

Clearly, critical thinking has died in the American mainstream.   I could

care less about Osama Bin Laden being brought to justice.  Bring Barack
Obama to justice.  Bring George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald
Rumsfeld to justice.  Bring Timothy Geithner and Alan Greenspan to
justice.  Bring Jeffrey Imelt of G.E. and Rex Tillerson of Exxon Mobile
to justice, not some Islamic fanatics living in a cave in Afghanistan.  The
real criminals, the real terrorists, reside right here in the United States,
on Wall Street and Capitol Hill, not halfway around the world in
whichever countries happen to hold strategic American interests.

IS WORLD FREE FROM TERRORISM

CONCLUSION
Osama Bin Laden was shot to death today morning by the US forces in a firefight
in Pakistan. Within minutes it created headlines all over the world. Social
Networking sites like Facebook and Twitter were flooded with reactions and
comments of billions of people. Finally after 10 years the mastermind behind the
world’s most talked about terrorist attack has been captured and killed.

"Justice has been done," President Barack Obama quoted. But the biggest question
is, justice to what has been done? Is it to the 9/11 attack that took thousands of
lives away? Is it the end of an era in terrorism that shook the world? Can we now
say the world is free of terrorism and militant activities? Do we really have a
reason strong enough to celebrate?

Osama Bin Laden\'s death marks the end to the battle against the Taliban in
Afghanistan. Soon the whole concept of Talibanism would be banished.

The Al Qaeda leader, who was shot in head to death, brings a great relief to the
world. It would not be easier for the American President to wind up the decade
long war with Talibans.

It\'s another step closer towards world peace and harmony. Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu said the killing \"resounding triumph for justice, freedom and
the values shared by all democratic nations\".

According to WikiLeaks: Al Qaeda vowed \'Nuclear Hellstorm\' if Bin Laden

killed or captured

Osama\'s death is no big deal. One fellow tweeple reacted by saying, \"utility just
expired hence the elimination\". Many also fear there are several others to take his
place and hence violence will continue

Laden was found, captured and finally killed in Pakistan. This may hint towards a
grave concern that the neighboring country of India is a base for several extremist
organizations.
