Obama Watched Bin Laden Die On Live Video As Shoot-out Beamed To White House by na2day(m): 1:46am On May 03, 2011 |
President Obama was watching on a TV screen as a commando gunned down Osama Bin Laden. Via a video camera fixed to the helmet of a U.S. Navy Seal, the leader of the free world saw the terror chief shot in the left eye. The Seal then carried out what is known in the military as a ‘double tap’ – shooting him again, probably in the chest, to make certain he was dead. The footage of the battle in Bin Laden’s Pakistani hideout – relayed to the White House by satellite – is said to show one of his wives acting as a human shield to protect him as he blasted away with an AK47 assault rifle. She died, along with three other men, including one of Bin Laden’s sons. Within hours, the Al Qaeda leader’s body was buried at sea. Intense: President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, alongside other Security staff, watch the mission unfold at the White House Taking command: President Obama talks with members of the national security team in the White House situation room following the conclusion of the mission Despite President Obama claiming the master terrorist’s death made the world a ‘safer, better place’, the head of the Central Intelligence Agency declared that terrorists would ‘almost certainly’ respond. The warning came on a day when: ■ Relations between Pakistan and the West were under intense strain amid disbelief that intelligence chiefs in Islamabad had no idea Bin Laden was living in a compound only 800 yards from the country’s leading military academy. ■ U.S. officials sought to justify the torture of detainees at Guantanamo Bay by claiming it provided the crucial breakthrough in hunting down Bin Laden. [size=13pt]■ It emerged that a terror operative captured in Pakistan in 2004 said Al Qaeda would detonate a nuclear bomb in the U.S. if Bin Laden were killed or captured.[/size] David Cameron said Bin Laden’s death would be ‘welcomed right across our country’. But security was stepped up as he warned: ‘It does not mark the end of the threat we face from extremist terrorism. Indeed, we will have to be particularly vigilant in the weeks ahead.’ Last night the Prime Minister chaired a meeting of the Government’s emergency planning committee Cobra to assess the implications for the UK. Security sources have been told of specific threats against targets in North Africa and Europe. Officials in Britain fear a ‘lone wolf’ – currently off the security services’ radar – could be inspired to take revenge. There is no specific intelligence pointing to any attack in response to Bin Laden’s death, but it is ‘common sense’ to be on guard, Whitehall officials say. Possible targets include popular tourist and business locations including the Houses of Parliament, Canary Wharf and the London Eye, say security experts. President Obama announced Bin Laden’s death in a televised statement shortly after 4am British time yesterday He recalled the images from the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 which were ‘seared into our national memory’. Nearly 3,000 people were killed – including 67 Britons – when four jets hijacked by Al Qaeda extremists crashed in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. The attack left ‘a gaping hole in our hearts’, said the President. Last night pictures were released of Mr Obama and his security team – including Hillary Clinton – watching the mission to kill Bin Laden in the White House’s Situation Room. Describing the scene, President Obama’s counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan said: [size=13pt]‘It was probably one of the most anxiety-filled periods in the lives of the people who were assembled. [/size] Pit of evil: A king size bed where Bin Laden may have once slept at the secretive compound in Abbottabad. Blood from a gun battle can be seen at the foot of the mattress Gun fight: A pool of blood on the floor suggests that one Al Qaeda member was shot close to their bed, while right, a selection of medication which was left in the bathroom Carnage: Blood can be seen on the floor from where Osama was reportedly surrounded by three men, including his son, and a woman who formed a human shield against U.S. troops ‘The minutes passed like days and the President was very concerned about the security of our personnel.’ The President’s announcement sparked jubilant celebrations, with crowds gathering outside the White House and at Ground Zero where the Twin Towers had stood in New York. [size=13pt]Former President George W Bush, who was in the White House when the attacks took place, described the news as a ‘momentous achievement’.[/size] ‘America has sent an unmistakable message: no matter how long it takes, justice will be done,’ he said. But the euphoria was tempered by warnings that Bin Laden’s supporters would carry out a wave of reprisal attacks against Western targets, including the UK. Bin Laden's lair: The compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, was half a mile from a military academy. If it had been hit in an air strike there would likely have been civilian casualties CIA director Leon Panetta said: ‘Though Bin Laden is dead, Al Qaeda is not. The terrorists almost certainly will attempt to avenge him, and we must – and will – remain vigilant and resolute.’ Foreign Secretary William Hague said: ‘This is a very serious blow to Al Qaeda but, like any organisation that has suffered a serious blow, they will want to show in some way that they are still able to operate. ‘We will still have to be even more vigilant in the coming days about the international terrorist threat.’ Near miss: One of the U.S. helicopters crashed over a wall within the compound after coming under heavy fire from rocket propelled grenades. However, all special forces troops escaped safely, left. Right the remains of the helicopter are driven away on a tractor Some 50 people living in Britain are believed to have attended terror training camps in Afghanistan. One suggestion is that Al Qaeda supporters who are not known to the security services could be emboldened to strike. Another possibility is that terror cells already plotting attacks in the UK could bring forward their plans. It also emerged last night that the timing of the U.S. mission may have been triggered by Wikileaks. Although the CIA has thought since September that Bin Laden was in Abbottabad, the attack on his fortress came only days after the website published fresh secret documents. These made reference to named ‘couriers’ carrying Bin Laden’s message to his followers, and also to Abbottabad as a possible Al Qaeda bolthole. America has already revealed that it was led to Bin Laden by tracking a man identified as his key courier. When that courier was found in Abbottabad, the CIA began surveillance that led to the raid. Last night it was said the operation had to be launched before Bin Laden knew the game was up. The theory is based on a leaked U.S. Defence Department assessment of Guantanamo Bay prisoner Abu Faraj al-Libi, 40. This information identifies al-Libi as a chief of Al Qaeda who fled to Pakistan in 2001. He lived in Abbottabad for a year before being caught in 2005. He was then handed to the U.S., who continue to detain him. We've got him, said the President This was the dramatic moment that President Obama and Hillary Clinton watched Osama Bin Laden being shot dead. Photos released by the White House late last night show Mr Obama and his Secretary of State in similar poses, their hands clamped over their mouths. Together with the President’s national security team they are watching a crew of Navy Seals storm the terror chief’s hideout in Pakistan. His fist to his mouth, Mr Obama stares intently at the screen showing Bin Laden die, left, while Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, right, holds her hand to her mouth While the men in the room, arms folded, remain largely expressionless as they stare at the live feed streamed from the helmet camera of a U.S. commando, it is the expression on Mrs Clinton’s face that clearly shows the tension that they all felt. She was unable to hide the emotion of the moment for which they had waited more than a decade. Mr Obama, with his eyes intently focused on the scene unfolding and with his fist clenched to his mouth, was said to be ‘stony faced’ through the transmission, even at the point when a voice came over the speakers stating: ‘We’ve ID’d Geronimo’ – a code name for Bin Laden. After the terrorist was shot, Mr Obama was said to have turned to the room and said: ‘We got him.’ With the, mission accomplished, those present were able to breathe a sigh of relief. With Mr Obama and Mrs Clinton as the tense operation unfolded were Vice President Joe Biden, National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, Defence Secretary Robert Gates, Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen, Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and White House Chief-of-Staff Bill Daly. CIA Director Leon Panetta wasn’t in the photo but was at the White House at several points during the day. The President was also seen on the phone talking to the heads of Allied countries, including British Prime Minister David Cameron.

na2day!: Are these guys utter morons? What do you think the US will do if an Al Qaeda guy detonates a nuke in the US? The same country that had no issue nuking Japan twice in a war? If they have any brains, they won't do that. Not unless they want not only to suffer death personally, but to have whatever nation they collaborate with in getting nukes from wiped off of the face of the Earth. |

The miniaturization of video cameras now makes it possible for the Commander in Chief to follow his troops into battle and covert operations, and monitor the action second-by-second, as the bullets fly. Yesterday's science fiction is today's amazing reality. 1 Like |

That Obama slouch in the first pic does not look presidential at all especially as most of the other guys looked relaxed. He appeared to disappear into his seat and lose much of his 6 feet plus. Is the guy scared at the sight of blood or just tension because of uncertainty at a highpoint in his presidency? |

[size=18pt]This guy's killing is too easy and brings a lot of doubt.[/size] Those that were killed previously and were known to be inferior in rank to him were taken out by jet fighters with bomb. We all remember when Al-Zakawi (whatever his name) was killed, the guy was bombed to death. We all hear on the news daily that some militants / terrorist were killed in Pakistan by jet fighters with bombs on their location. Why not Osama? Why only 6 navy seals? (Probably cos they are so “super-power”) We all know that taking the terrorist alive has being one of the intelligence goals so they can collect infos from them on how? who? why? where next? and all sort of learning to get from them. So why will they just execute the main man that can give the most of infos? And if you all remember, there are pix or videos showing their bodies after or during their execution. Where is Osama’s? Why only Americans men that were involved in the killing and burial? Someone pls let us know, if u live outside the U.S, and your country of residence is represented in Afghan, if they say on the media that they can confirm the killing or not, or just that they were told by the Americans about it. Just asking |
Re: Obama Watched Bin Laden Die On Live Video As Shoot-out Beamed To White House by sulad82i(m): 2:59pm On May 04, 2011 |
And talking about the pix posted, how sure is anybody here that the pix tells the whole story as purported? The pix might be taken as those guys were given the news of the event that unfolds at the scene. |

Im 100% sure there is a video and there are pictures of everything. But theres a lot of things to consider. They dont want world war 3 on their hands when they release the pictures and you see part of Osamas head being blown off or him lying in his own blood his crazy followers will want to fight back. I think the pictures will come out but in good time they need to arrest and kill anyone else connected with him in order to really destroy his organisation. |

sulad82i: Thank you. adeomos: My brothers, this Osama's death news na game. Can you remember the 'birthier issue'. It seems most certain to me right now that Obama was not born at all in the US. This purported death of Osama starves the alleged forgery of Obama's birth certificate of almost all attention. Actually, I just read somewhere that the pen used to sign Obama's long-form birth certificate, the roller-point pen, was only invented in the mid 1980's - several years after he was born . As a Machiavellian, I salute this stroke of genius sha, masterful! |
Re: Obama Watched Bin Laden Die On Live Video As Shoot-out Beamed To White House by Solozzo(m): 3:57pm On May 04, 2011 |
I don't believe Obama and his security team watched the operation live. What if it went wrong. It is very likely the film came In soon after the operation, and Obama called up his team to see. Reprisals against the USA may happen later but for now, alqueada leaders would be on the run. A program of systematic elimination of the terrorist leaders needs to occur to rid the organization of it's power to strike. Obama needs to learn from what happened to Cassius and Brutus after they executed Julius Caesar and left Mark Anthony and Octavius alive |

Richfella: Obama staged the "assasination" of the world's most wanted terrorist as part of the conspiracy to keep his Kenyan identity a secret. He knows that the long form birth certificate is not enough proof and because we are going to demand for the longest form. We also need a movie of him being born and an identification of the babies that were in the nursery with him. I personally want to talk to the doctor that delivered him!!!!!! So to distract us from getting to the ROOT of this VERY important matter, he created a MINOR distraction. He colluded with top CIA and miliatry brass, ask the Pakistani govt to keep thier mouth shut or they will stop getting the 2 billion dollars per annum promised to them, told Osama that if he played along he will be taken off the FBI list and given assylum in God knows where, built a phoney 1 million dollar mansion and invited the Navy seals to go act as if they are actually going in for a target when in all honesty they were going in for a party with the numerous Al-qaieda women living in the mansion. This was after he ordered for some tomato juice to be sprayed all around one room to portray the image of violence and also pictures taken of him with his staff in the situation room with the honorable Sec of State, Hillary Clinton, looking like she swallowed an infectious bug. Obama U think U can decieve us!!!!! We are onto U, u kenyan born, anti christ, madrassa trained, honolulu wanna be As for that crap about releasing videos and pictures of Osama TODAY, U think we can be fooled!!!! We all know those are pictures of one of Ghaddaffi's son's dressed up with a humongous beard. |
