Statement by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Bin laden’s death

Mon May 2 10:58:55 2011 by BNO News

DALLAS (BNO NEWS) — New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg on early Monday morning released the following statement on the death of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

“After September 11, 2001, we gave our word as Americans that we would stop at nothing to capture or kill Osama bin Laden. After the contribution of millions, including so many who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, we have kept that word.

“The killing of Osama bin Laden does not lessen the suffering that New Yorkers and Americans experienced at his hands, but it is a critically important victory for our nation - and a tribute to the millions of men and women in our armed forces and elsewhere who have fought so hard for our nation.

“New Yorkers have waited nearly ten years for this news. It is my hope that it will bring some closure and comfort to all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001.”

Special Op forces carried out attack in Pak; in firefight, bin Laden was shot in the head; body returned to Afghanistan - NBC

The reward won't go to the CIA or the military, so my guess is it will go to the unnamed person who provided the intelligence that led them to the site. And Thorm is correct, he certainly won't be named - more likely relocated with his family immediately, if not already.

Mon May 2 10:59:38 2011 by BNO News ( Leave a comment )

PHOENIX (BNO NEWS) — U.S. Senator John McCain, a former presidential candidate, on early Monday morning released the following statement on the death of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

“I am overjoyed that we finally got the world’s top terrorist. The world is a better and more just place now that Osama bin Laden is no longer in it. I hope the families of the victims of the September 11th attacks will sleep easier tonight and every night hence knowing that justice has been done. I commend the President and his team, as well as our men and women in uniform and our intelligence professionals, for this superb achievement.

“But while we take heart in the news that Osama bin Laden is dead, we must be mindful that al-Qaeda and its terrorist allies are still lethal and determined enemies, and we must remain vigilant to defeat them.”

Great photo, but they are saying he was shot in the head. Like the humor though.

How long before someone makes a movie about the events of Osama's death?

**StrontiumDog** · 02-05-2011, 11:33 AM

Reaction to bin Laden's death flows in - World news - South and Central Asia - Pakistan - msnbc.com

Bonnie McEneaney, 57, wife of Eamon McEneaney, who died in the 9/11 attacks

"It doesn't bring back all the wonderful people who were killed 10 years ago. It's long overdue.""I'm completely numb. I'm stunned," she told msnbc.com.Jack Lynch, 75, who lost his son, New York City firefighter Michael Francis Lynch

"The first thought I had in my mind was that it didn't bring my son back. You cut the head off a snake, you'd think it would kill the snake. But someone will take his place. People like him still exist. The fact that he's gone is not going to stop terrorism." "I understand that bin Laden was an evil person. He may have believed in what he was doing. I'm not going to judge him. I'm sure some people will look at this and they'll be gratified that he's dead, but me personally, I'm going to leave his fate in God's hands."

Backlash is a broad term and could come in many different forms whether you are considered an ally or enemy. Pakistan has not done any big favors for the US lately even though President Obama said this was done with their cooperation. I have a feeling Pakistan is a little embarassed at the moment about where this all went down.

That assumes the ISI Sunni fanatics and militarists running Pakistan have any sense of shame, but yeah, they should be. The majority of Pakistanis are Sufis, and they, along with the Shias, have been victimized by the Sunni extremists as well, and so are probably happy with this.
