It's a great day for America everybody!!!! This sentence has been used in the opening monologue by Craig Ferguson of the CBS Late Late Show EVERY night for the last six and a half years. Sunday, May 1st, 2011 will go down as "A Great Day in America" for many years to come. The night that Osama Bin Laden was assassinated by a Special Operations Unit being labeled ST6. (Seal Team 6) Unfortunately, they don't exist, you never saw them, and nothing happened on Sunday, May 1st, 2011.
This is a joyous occasion but I am appalled at the Americans who are calling "foul". The conspiracy theorist are out in full force not even 24 hours after this Top Secret Mission was completed. People are so frustrated and angry at President Obama that they can't look over their anger and frustration to believe what our Commander in Chief has managed to get accomplished. It has taken 10 years to bring justice to the men, women and children who paid the ultimate price for the actions of Osama Bin Laden, and yet there are Americans who would rather sit around and complain that the Government is pulling the wool over the eyes of the American people instead of rejoicing in a Mission Completed and a job well done.
I have read comments on Facebook and Twitter where people are questioning why did we "bury" Osama Bin Laden at sea? Well folks, no country wanted to accept his body. Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and even Pakistan was offered the body of Osama Bin Laden and all refused. As a Muslim it is customary for the body of one who has died to be placed to rest within 24 hours of death. The United States took the necessary steps to honor the religious beliefs of this man even though we don't feel as though he deserved ANY respect for what he did. Since no country accepted Osama Bin Laden's body the US Navy provided him a sea burial and a proper Muslim funeral.
Why did they not keep him to show as proof of his death? What would you have us do? Bring a naval ship all the way back to the United States so we can put the corpse of Osama Bin Laden on display in Washington D.C. or in a museum in New York City? Is it not 2011? Are we no greater civilized then some of the countries we find ourselves fighting wars in? What would putting the corpse of a dead terrorist on display do for the United States of America? Would it make YOU feel better? Would it send a message to someone? The only message that comes to mind that it sends me is that we are an un-civilized country who wishes to continue barbaric practices to satisfy our own barbaric feelings. The man is dead, he committed heinous crimes against our country and he paid for his deeds with his life. An eye for an eye. End of story.
Where are the videos of his death? I want pictures!! I demand to see his dead body!! Really? What does it do for you to see the body of Osama Bin Laden, or the video of Navy S.E.A.L. shooting this man in the head? Do you really want to see that? I am sure there is substantial video as well as photographs of Osama Bin Laden. Ultimately, it is up to President Obama if he wishes to release the photographs to the public. These types of questions go hand in hand with my previous statement about the barbarian thinking that is welling up in the majority of the public.
This is just another Government cover-up and Osama Bin Laden is alive and in hiding in a Government funded protective house. If you truly believe that then perhaps you should consider finding another country to live in. I mean seriously, we can chalk this one up to the theories that the Government had the World Trade Center destroyed, as well as the Pentagon. It just makes no sense.
The President only did this now to get re-elected in 2012. I will go on the record to state that this issue is debatable. We are a long ways away from campaign time. This very well could be a distant memory in many Americans mind by the time the campaign trail begins. I am still in favor of Obama myself. I voted for him. I like what he has accomplished of late. I do not like EVERYTHING he has done while in office, but the good far outweighs the bad in my eyes.
I am sure by now everyone knows I can go on and on with conspiracy theories concerning the death of Osama Bin Laden. This post is not about politics or even to START conspiracy theories. The purpose in this blog is to encourage each and every one of us to think outside the box a little and look at the bigger picture for a minute. Monday, May 2nd 2011 is a day that I am proud to be an American. I am and always have been proud to be an American citizen. When the Government makes awesome decisions to seek justice for wrong doing against our citizens and our military men and women complete their mission to perfection without any loss of life of our service personnel I am HAPPY and I am PROUD of the jobs they do.
I know where I was ten years ago on September 11th, 2001. I remember the day very clearly and I am still saddened that our country was attacked by foreign group of men. The vows made by then President George Bush to seek those responsible were made and I knew that, we, as Americans would SOMEDAY find those responsible and bring justice to those who lost their lives. That happened last night. The Obama administration gave an order to our service men and women to KILL the man who was responsible for those deaths. Let's not take anything away from what's REALLY important in this. Who cares if we dumped him in the ocean, who cares if they didn't take a picture, who cares if this gives Obama 10 popularity points in the next election... what's really important is that the US Military, The Government of the United States of America, the CIA, The National Security team, and finally the Administration of President Obama brought justice to the American people, and they did so without loss of life of MORE American people. I am proud of ALL of them and again PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!
