The global, decade-long search for Osama bin Laden ended yesterday when U.S. special forces killed the al Qaeda leader in an attack on his hide-out in Pakistan.

This is how President Obama announced the news:

    No doubt of who he was, he also knew how gullible people were and he could use them like how they are all being used till today and still don’t get it. Do the things he wanted them to do and not question his orders even till the extend of blowing them selfs up and he did not even have to pay them millions of dollars. Than you could not have sold drugs in any COUNTRY so what better way is to get his own country where he makes the law at the same time to the eyes of the Muslim world he was a hero. see how more smarter can one get. his biggest mistake was to bomb the U.S. same old mistake the Japs did some 40 years ago.
