Breaking News: Osama Bin Laden Is Dead

An article by Kelly Horn

OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

WASHINGTON — Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden is dead and the U.S. has his body, says a person familiar with developments.

President Barack Obama was to make the announcement shortly that after searching in vain for bin Laden since he disappeared in Afghanistan in late 2001, the Saudi-born extremist is dead, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Details of the death were sparse. He was killed in a military operation in Afghanistan, according to sources, though it was unclear which countries were involved. CNN reported that the al-Qaida leader was killed in a mansion outside Islamabad, the Pakistani capital.

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, 2001, attacks.

Now all the victims of 9/11 can rest in peace. Justice has been done. God Bless America.

You picked the perfect graphics for the moment, Kelly. I always use those in tributes.

It was said on the ESPN broadcast; It’s sort of like one of those…you’ll always remember where you were moments.

It’s a good thing that justice was finally served. I really, really hope the media doesn’t turn this into some idiotic sh*t storm. It is something that should be embraced by all Americans.

I’d love a Mets win but this is a victory for America.
