Osama bin Laden is dead


Last night at the end of my choir concert I went next door to the building where the choir hangs out for intermission. I was starting to help straighten up the green room and gather trash when the man who owns the building strutted in and announced that Osama bin Laden had been killed by US Forces. Bin Laden was shot in the head as he tried to hide behind a woman in his complex in the city of Abbottabad, Pakistan. What a loser.

Glen Beck was emotional on the radio this morning as he announced the victory, and recalled the events of September 11th when Osama made war on our beloved country. One news article said the mission was to capture or kill Osama bin Laden, but I have to say I'm glad they killed him.


From Wikipedia:
"Nearly 3,000 victims and the 19 hijackers died in the attacks. According to the New York State Health Department, 836 responders, including firefighters and police personnel, have died as of June 2009. Among the 2,752 victims who died in the attacks on the World Trade Center were 343 firefighters and 60 police officers from New York City and the Port Authority. Another 184 people were killed in the attack on the Pentagon. The overwhelming majority of casualties were civilians, including nationals of over 70 countries. In addition, there was at least one secondary death—one person was ruled by a medical examiner to have died from lung disease due to exposure to dust from the collapse of the World Trade Center."

As Glen Beck said this morning, "Thank God that Osama bin Laden is dead."

He could have spent his life having a good time and not bothering anyone. What a waste. He waited all that time to come to Earth just so he could end up as fish bait.
