Buh-Bye, Bin Laden

The mastermind of the largest Islamic Terrorist Attack of United States soil has received his just reward.

Osama bin Laden, the monster behind the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, was killed in a firefight with American Special Forces last night, then quickly buried at sea.

Instead of hiding in the mountains of Pakistan, as had so long been thought, the Islamic Terrorist Mastermind was located in a mansion on the outskirts of Islamabad, 100 yards from a community built specifically for retired Pakistani military and 35 miles from the capital of Pakistan.

If anyone thinks that the Pakistani Government did not know that he was living there, I have a bridge over the Mississippi River to sell ya.

Shortly before 11:00 p.m. Central last night, President Barack Hussein Obama, after making the nation wait for 90 minutes, and, effectively obscuring the finale of Donald Trump’s television series, Celebrity Apprentice, made the following announcement:

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.

Justice has been done.

This precise operation took about as long as getting a haircut.

U.S. Strike Force Helicopters set counter-terrorism troops down in the compound which the CIA had identified as the monster’s lair. Our Best and Brightest took care of business in less than 40 minutes. They shot bin Laden in the head after he and his bodyguards opened fired on them.

Also killed in the operation were three adult males among them, one of bin Laden’s sons, unnamed by U.S. officials. One of bin Laden’s sons, Hamza, happens to be is a senior member of al-Qaida. One woman was killed during the firefight, when one of those brave Islamic Terrorists, used her as a shield. Two other women were injured.

An American official who disclosed the burial at sea said it would have been difficult to find a country willing to accept the remains. According to Obama,bin Laden’s body had been handled in accordance with Islamic custom, which requires speedy burial.

Why couldn’t Obama have admitted that we buried him at sea, so that the Islamafascists would not try to steal the body from us and make him a martyr?

Who was this Muslim Monster?  Per biography.com:

Osama bin Laden, [born] 1957[ in] Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,[was the] mastermind of numerous terrorist attacks against the United States and other Western powers, including the 1993 bombing of New York City’s World Trade Center, the 2000 suicide bombing of the U.S. warship Cole in the Yemeni port of Aden, and the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon near Washington, D.C. ( September 11 attacks).

Bin Laden was one of more than 50 children of one of Saudi Arabia’s wealthiest families. He attended King Abdul Aziz University, where he received a degree in civil engineering. Shortly after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979, bin Laden, like thousands of other Muslims from throughout the world, joined the Afghan resistance, viewing it as his Muslim duty to repel the occupation. After the Soviet withdrawal in 1989, bin Laden returned home as a hero, but he was quickly disappointed with what he perceived as the corruption of the Saudi government and of his own family. His objection to the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia during the Persian Gulf War led to a growing rift with his country’s leaders. By 1993 he had purportedly formed a network known as al-Qaeda (Arabic: “the Base”), which consisted largely of militant Muslims bin Laden had met in Afghanistan. The group funded and organized several attacks worldwide, including detonating truck bombs against American targets in Saudi Arabia (1996), killing tourists in Egypt (1997), and simultaneously bombing the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (1998), which altogether killed nearly 300 people. In 1994 the Saudi government confiscated his passport after accusing him of subversion, and he fled to The Sudan, where he organized camps that trained militants in terrorist methods, and from where he was eventually expelled in 1996. He later returned to Afghanistan, where he received protection from its ruling Taliban militia.

In 1996–98 bin Laden, a self-styled scholar, issued a series of fatws (Arabic: “religious opinions”) declaring a holy war against the United States, which he accused, among other things, of looting the natural resources of the Muslim world and aiding and abetting the enemies of Islam. Bin Laden’s apparent goal was to draw the United States into a large-scale war in the Muslim world that would overthrow moderate Muslim governments and reestablish the Caliphate (i.e., a single Islamic state). To this end, al-Qaeda, aided by bin Laden’s considerable wealth, trained militants and funded terrorist attacks. It had thousands of followers worldwide, in places as diverse as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Libya, Bosnia, Chechnya, and the Philippines. Following the September 11 attacks, the United States led a coalition in late 2001 that overthrew the Taliban and sent bin Laden into hiding. Nearly three years passed, during which time U.S. forces hunted bin Laden along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Bin Laden emerged in a videotaped message in October 2004, less than a week before that year’s U.S. presidential election, in which he claimed responsibility for the September 11 attacks.

Former President George W. Bush issued a gracious, congratulatory statement, per abcnews.com:

…Bush called the operation a “momentous achievement” that “marks a victory for America, for people who seek peace around the world, and for all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001.”

“I congratulated him and the men and women of our military and intelligence communities who devoted their lives to this mission. They have our everlasting gratitude,” the former president said in a statement. “The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done.”

Indeed.  God bless America.

    “Burial at sea”. That sounds more politically correct than “dumped his carcass in the ocean”, doesn’t it? I prefer the latter.

    I find it ironic that now Obama is talking about how great America is instead of apologizing for its actions in the past!

    America has always been strong! Obama’s handlers have finally grown balls.

      I have the same conflict going on…Kudos to the troops and all others involved. I have visions of many individuals being dragged “kicking and screaming” to do the right thing.
      God Bless America!!!
