Osama bin Laden dead
 Presidential press conference starting soon. Fox News sez he was killed by a U.S. bomb, DNA was tested an confirmed. More detail to follow... Geraldo sez U.S. has the corpse...They're waiting for the press conference as of 11:05 pm and Geraldo's filling time by trying to figure whether al-Qaeda dies with bin Laden. For some reason the Rantburg edit page won't let me add a proper title link, but an MSM overview is here. Fixed. AoS. Binny is in the Obits. Where he belongs. Conflicting reports over whether it was a dronezap (in one of the Wazoos) or a headshot. He was living in Senior Pak officials now confirming he was killed in Pakistan... Obama speaking now, confirming... nattering about 9-11... recapping the past ten years of GWoT... He (B.O.) told Panetta to make killing or capturing bin Laden number one priority... leads to Binny living in Abbottabad last August... Firefight on the ground... Small team of Americans, non of whom were harmed, no civilians wounded... we have the body... death doesn't end GWoT... Not at war with Islam... bin Laden wasn't a Muslim leader... Counter-terrorism cooperation with Pak led to the kill... Called Zardari, thanked him... Thanks troops, covert ops... Abbottabad's in Khyber-Pakhtunwa, but it's just about as far from the Pak-Afghan border as you can get and still be in Pakistan... Posted by: Gloria 2011-05-02 |
