America’s most wanted villain, Osama Bin Laden, has been eliminated and justice is ours.
President Barack Obama made the announcement on Sunday night, May 1, that Navy Seal commandos took out the leader of the world-wide terrorist group Al Qaeda to his secret compound deep in the mountains of Pakistan. On Obama’s command, they assaulted the killer’s lair and after a firefight, our forces killed Bin Laden and buried his body at sea.
We hope he died a painful, lingering death. We hope he died knowing his executioners were United States military avenging the deaths of thousands of Americans around the world at the hands of Al Qaeda after orders by Bin Laden.
The burial at sea eliminates the creation of a gravesite that could become a Mecca for like-minded terrorists. No martyr’s body for his cause.
The war on terrorism does not end with this successful campaign, however. We must remain vigilant against those groups who would do us harm on our soil or abroad. The price of freedom comes at a high cost and we must resolve to pay the bill and keep Americans secure at home and as they travel abroad.
