Osama! We know you’re out there

Osama bin Laden was killed in a U.S. assault on his Pakistani compound on May 2, 2011, then quickly buried at sea, in a dramatic end to the long manhunt for the al Qaeda leader who had become the most powerful symbol of global terrorism.

I am staggered by all the hate directed towards our former Prime Minister. I believe that Tony Blair made the Iraq decision in good faith and is most certainly NOT a war criminal. If anyone should be tried at the Hague it should be those in the media for totally misrepresenting the information and facts. The media are to blame for fuelling this hatred as it is purely driven by them. (UK)

The greatest and most successful leader the Labour Party has ever had with the courage to fight the Islamist terrorists who really would like to kill us all, and you never hear a good word about him. The herd of independent minds, commentators, activists etc who have never had to make a difficult decision in their lives drown out all debate with their inane chants of war crimes and blood on his hands. Defend him at every chance. I just wish more people would do it. (Glasgow, UK)

Blair was the greatest Labour Prime Minister. It is a disgrace that the party has turned away from his legacy. Shame on Ed Miliband and his so-called ‘new generation’.

PITY WE DON’T KNOW IF ANY OF IT IS OSAMA BIN LADEN’S BLOOD

From the compound where the terrorist leader was killed ABC News has this slideshow of photos from inside the “kill zone”.

Unfortunately, there is no evidence from these pictures that it was Osama bin Laden’s blood.

John Brennan, chief counter-terrorism adviser said tonight that the US authorities are still deciding on whether or not to release some visual evidence.

What’s to decide?

Oh, I think I’ve got it.  It might upset (some) Muslims.

But we are now told that a “new bin Laden tape, taken BEFORE his death” will be released soon. [SkyNews Live]

Picture from inside the compound (CTVNews)

It seems “Geronimo” was killed at 3:55pmEST, which is 8:55pmBST. Just over 25 hours ago.

President Obama was watching all of this operation in real time from a distance. He probably saw OBL’s wife standing in front of her husband to try to protect him. She died in that attempt.

As the US authorities and our papers put it – “Osama bin Laden hid behind a woman, who was killed.”

So President Obama saw exactly who died. So should the rest of us. Not just a shroud- covered body sliding into the sea. We need to see the uncovered body.

Then I’ll go off and write about something else. I promise.
